I (@ Capri in group sessions) have passed the CISSP at 100 Questions with 50 mins time & 50 questions remaining, it was my first attempt, I was keeping it postponing from Mar 2026, thinking I lacked preperations every time when tried to press the exam appointment confirm button. I almost keep attending daily study group and answering daily question from about 6 months, group discussions, variety of question banks and sharing of failed / passed memebers exam experience gave me alot of help. I used the following study resources: OSG and Official practice tests Wiley & Parb Nair Coffee shots ( started preperations) cissp.app app - of course main source as discussed ( thankful to Mr Vincent ) Destination Cert YouTube series and solved 3100+ questions https://www.theinfosecvault.com, CISSP Zero to Hero by Mr Lorenzo Leonelli, solved 1000+ practice question and 300 + Board room challenge questions. frsecure.com › cisspFree CISSP Certification Training, overviewed presentations Andrew Ramdayal – 50 CISSP Practice Questions Infosec Train CISSP videos Pete Zerger, vCISO, CISSP CISSP videos Luke Ahmed 25 Questions “Why You Will Pass the CISSP Exam” — Kelly Handerhan www.cybernous.com Manoj Sherma videos Shon Gerber and Mike Capple Weekly Free CISSP Question ( receiving free after email subscription) Ms May Brook free CISSP Master classes, many questions from her quizzes were amazingly similar to real short questions of the exam.

It reinforced that cybersecurity is not just about tools and technologies, but about strategy, governance, and protecting organizational value.
