Hi everyone, I am thrilled to share that I officially cleared the CISSP exam yesterday at the 100-question mark on my first attempt! To give a bit of background, I started my CISSP preparation right after passing my CCSP 6 weeks ago. Here is what my preparation looked like: - Core Study Material: Studied the Official Study Guide (OSG) 10th Edition cover-to-cover, using AI tools (Gemini and Claude) to deep-dive into areas where the OSG lacked a bit of depth and to effectively cover that delta. - Visual Learning: Utilized Destination Certification's mind map videos to solidify concepts. - Practice Assessments: Leveraged the Destination Certification app practice tests, alongside the Skool "CISSP, CCSP & CISM Practice Exams | Expert-Calibrated Questions — cissp.app" practice and full-length tests, to benchmark my readiness. - Final Refresher: Used The CISSP Field Manual by Clearance to Wealth as a fantastic quick refresher right before the exam. - Collaborative Learning: Participated actively in classes alongside a diverse group of talented professionals. The interactive sessions fostered a healthy and professional environment where we could analyze questions from multiple angles. Hearing different viewpoints on scenario-based reasoning provided valuable insights into why a choice is correct or incorrect, significantly sharpening my exam mindset. I want to extend a huge thank you to everyone who made this journey a success: - Vincent: For initializing and running this amazing CISSP Skool community. - The Facilitators: For exposing us to a rich variety of challenging questions through the classes. - My Study Group: A heartfelt thank you to Ed, Ricardo, Enrico, Victor, Matthew, Pavithra, Emma, Aidah, Vishal, David and many more for your incredible support and camaraderie. Thank you all again. On to the next chapter!
