Hi everyone, I wanted to ask those who have recently taken the exam and submitted their endorsement application: how long did it typically take for you to your application approved?

Michael Bassey Thank you for a great tip to pass the CISSP exam. That formula — Read → Review → Practice → Repeat — is a solid, effective approach to cracking the CISSP exam. Let’s break it down in context of what it really means for CISSP success: Read - Go through the official CISSP study guide (e.g., Sybex or the Official ISC² CBK). - Focus on understanding concepts, not just memorizing facts. - Read with the 8 domains in mind and take notes in your own words. Review - Summarize what you’ve read. - Use flashcards, mind maps, or cheat sheets. - Review frequently to reinforce long-term retention — spaced repetition works wonders. Practice - Use practice exams and scenario-based questions (like the real exam). - Focus on why an answer is correct or incorrect. - Practice across all domains, emphasizing your weak areas. - Aim for at least 75–80% consistently in full-length timed exams. Repeat - Go back to the topics you struggled with and re-read them. - Re-practice those domain areas. - Repeat the cycle to solidify understanding and critical thinking, which CISSP requires. Bonus Tips: - Think like a manager, not a technician — CISSP tests decision-making at a policy level. - Use official practice tests from ISC² and tools like Boson or Thor Teaches. - Join a study group or take a bootcamp if you benefit from structured guidance. Final Thoughts: This formula works because it mirrors the learning cycle: Learn → Consolidate → Apply → Reinforce. Stick to this approach with discipline, and you’ll be in a strong position to pass the CISSP on your first attempt.

Hello my dear CISSP study group members, Sorry as I was away for more than 2 weeks, so busy at my new job. I posted new questions for your test prep. Feel free to reach out and I will reply to you as soon as I can. Best greetings 😇

Hello everyone, I just posted new 8 Questions covering all 8 CISSP Domains. Have fun 😊

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.
