Hi Everyone, Happy to be here.. Looking for study buddy who is planning to take the certification in next few months!! Glad to connect 😊

I took the CISSP this week and failed, I went through 150 questions with about 30 minutes left. I booked my next cert attempt for the end of July. One topic Above proficiency level, two at near, the rest below.

I took and passed the CISSP exam yesterday, Friday May 16th, with 17 minutes to spare! I didn't take this exam alone. I walked into the exam hall with a virtual tribe of individuals lifting me on their shoulders. Their confidence in me, dispelled all of my fears and anxiety. Sitting in front of the examination computer, the questions seemed clear to me, even if my fundamentals may have been a bit fuzzy. I would not have passed the exam without the support of this Skool platform, our CISSP Community Study Group (CSG) and the personal connections that I have made via the study groups. Here is my attempt to thank everyone. If I missed someone, please attribute it to my excitement. @Christopher Schneider for introducing me to this platform, @Rebecca Kirk for suggesting that we form a Community Study Group(CSG), @Vincent Primiani for providing the platform, @Fouad Ahmed for motivational support and lots of great documents, @Shane Symons for supporting the group, our CSG members: @Annette Corona @Timilehin Ajibade @Maurice Lightfoot @Taiye Olorundare @Stan Lyubarskiy @Tahjar R @Mario Rasathurai @Reginald Johnson JR, @Randy Rempel. Special thanks to @Venkat Ayyer @Babur Farooq, @Peter Marie, who passed but continue to support the CSG and @Jolian Stephens @Martín Figueroa for the late night Quantum Question reviews. There are so many more..... My main resources: Original Study Guide: Nineth and Tenth Editions (Wiley Test Bank too)

Hello Team, I’m thrilled to share that I have successfully passed the CISSP! This milestone wouldn’t have been possible without the collective effort and inspiring discussions we shared throughout our study journey in this group. Reflecting on my preparation, I found a few resources particularly valuable that I’d like to recommend: - Thoroughly reviewing official documents and guides helped build a solid foundation. *Cissp Study Guide 3rd Edition (Eric Conrad- Seth Misenar- Joshua Feldman). * ISC2 CISSP Certified Information Systems Security Professional Official Study Guide & Practice Tests Bundle (Sybex Study Guide) *11th Hour CISSP study Guide *Certified Information Systems security Professional (CISSP) Exam guide ( Ted Jordan, Ric Daza and Hinne Hettema) * https://study.pocketprep.com/study @90%, very helpful. *CISSP-Prep (Honestly, it was not helpful, and the style of questions can easily discourage your efforts) *Andrew 50 CISSP questions :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbVY0Cg8Ntw * Luke's 25 CISSP Practice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHbdNMRLafA - Watched Pete Zerger: https://www.youtube.com/@InsideCloudAndSecurity - Went through all Coffee shot per domain video of Prah (Vey important and very close to exam style question) - Fully engaged and attended study sessions - Utilizing test bank resources was instrumental in familiarizing myself with the exam format and question styles. - Leveraging research engines like Perplexity proved incredibly helpful for clarifying complex concepts quickly and efficiently. Example: Please provide me with 15 CISSP-style MCQ to help you master the differences between the following protocols: SAML,OAuth,OIDC

I have provisionally passed my CISSP exam. I would say the thing that helped me most was getting my Security +1st. After that, I studied for a month and a half and took the test. All I did was use the OSG and take practice tests. LearnZ was helpful as well. The test was pretty difficult for me, because I experienced questions that had content I've never seen before so I just made educated guesses. I actually thought I failed when the test cut off at 100 lol. Needless to say, I was very surprised to find out I passed. So to anyone feeling discouraged, understand that you can do this! I have no IT or cyber security experience. I'm probably the least qualified person in this group (not joking), and I passed. I hope this encouraged to someone.
