I passed the CISSP yesterday. It has been an immense journey and this community has been instrumental and has been great to collaborate and I will continue to do so. You will never feel 100% ready to take this exam, you just have to go for it! I used official study materials to prepare and this community for Q&A which I believe is a great preparation source. Keep pushing, you will get there all that hard work will pay off.
