I somehow passed the CISSP about an hour ago. I studied for roughly eight months using various resources. It felt like I got every question wrong. I wanted to thank this study group for the practice questions! Special thanks to @Fouad Ahmed @Vincent Primiani @Owen Chin! I also benefited from the few study group sessions I attended towards the end. Thanks @Claudie Aldridge and @Jolian Stephens ! Here is a jumbled list of the resources I used and probably forgot a few. Exam Questions Quantum Exams and cissprep.net (Very similar to the real exam questions) The Destination Certification App also comes with over a thousand free questions and flash cards that are somewhat like the exam LinkedIn Learning Practice Exams (pretty good) Books ISC2 CISSP Certified Information Systems Security Professional Official Study Guide, 10th Edition by Mike Chapple (I read this whole book and used the companion site for questions) Official CISSP Practice Tests, 4th Edition by Mike Chapple (used the companion site for more questions) CISSP For Dummies, 8th Edition (used companion site for questions) Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) Exam Guide by Packt Publishing (has a website for questions) I purchased an e-book called CISSP: The Last Mile by Pete Zerger (the guy that does the exam cram videos) O'Reilly CISSP Certification and Cybersecurity Closer Look Labs (Video Collection) by Sari Greene I did one live bootcamp on O'Reilly with Dean Bushmiller and one with Sari Greene.
