Hi Everyone, I’m pleased to share that I have provisionally passed the CISSP today (10/04/2026) - a great way to head into the weekend! It was certainly a tough exam (perhaps tougher in my own head at times). Some of the questions were genuinely challenging, but I’m really glad to have gone through the experience and come out the other side and crossed the finish line 🏁 I wanted to take a moment to thank this community - it has been a fundamental pillar in my preparation. The support around exam technique, content, and discussions have been invaluable. A special thank you to @Vincent Primiani and the CISSP team for running the group sessions - creating a space where we can learn, challenge ourselves, and grow together. Huge respect to everyone here - and for those still on the journey, keep pushing… it’s absolutely worth it, and you’ll get to that finish line. On to the next one! Cheers, Indy

Hi Group, I’m happy to share that today (7th April 2026) I passed my CISSP exam. I prepared using the official materials: the Official Study Guide, the Official Practice Tests, the Learnz app for flashcards and questions, and Mike Chapple’s official course on LinkedIn Learning. And last but not least, the discussions and meetings within this group really helped me deepen my understanding of several topics. Thank you all for the support, and good luck to everyone on your journey. Feel free to reach out if you want

I am happy to announce that I passed the exam today. It was a long journey for about a year, I failed my 1st attempt in Oct. Joining this group last December was the tool and environment that helped me cross the finish line. This exam takes dedication and persistence. You only fail if you give up and a successful test is just a few mouse clicks away. Reading is not easy for me but regularly attending the online group to practice and discuss the materials helped me immensely. Keep up the effort and don't give up. YOU GOT THIS! 👍

Hey everyone! Just got back home and super excited to share. I passed my CISSP exam! It was totally worth it, and I’m incredibly grateful for all the support along the way. For anyone curious, I didn’t read any books. Instead, I ✅ Went through ACI Learning’s video course on Coursera twice ✅ Completed Mike’s course on LinkedIn twice ✅ Watched Pete Zerger’s course, first at normal speed, then much faster on the second round ✅ Used mind maps once 2 days ago ✅ Attended community study sessions Huge thanks to Rebecca, Venket, Chris, Shane, Claudie, and everyone else who made this possible. Couldn’t have done it without this awesome community! 🙏

After positive feedback from the first exam strategy guide that I compiled, I expanded it to provide a structured approach to selecting the correct exam answer.
