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 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.
