In this article, we would be talking about seven tips, which the course takers, could follow to clear the CISSP exam in one go.
Tip No.1. Know the CISSP and its Prerequisite
As you might already know, CISSP is an abbreviation for Certified Information Systems Security Professional, and it’s considered the certification which is created by the International Information Systems Security Certification Consortium, or (ISC)2, in 1991. The CISSP certification is a way for demonstrating your knowledge and proving that you would be able to establish and lead an information security program. Then, of course, you should have to pass the exam itself, a 6-hour, 250-question, 8-domain. The minimum passing score is considered to be about 70%.
Tip No.2. Ensure you speak CISSP language fluently
Don’t get overconfident about your knowledge of security as well as the CISSP domains. You might think you are having the understanding a lot about security, but you probably wouldn’t yet understand all the types of questions you would be encountering on the exam. Therefore, I would strongly commend you start your preparation process by going through each domain in the study guides to ensure you understand the language of the exam, the content of the questions as well as the concepts which CISSP aims to teach.
Tip No.3. Utilize multiple study sources
I have gone through two or three CISSP all-in-one study guides. It is considered to be the best to start with an official CISSP study guide. These guides have covered all the material in each domain. Plus, I have appeared for CISSP practice tests online, there would be plenty of sample tests you could do, so I have gone through those CISSP practice exams repeatedly. I have also acquired SPOTO Club’s CISSP Study dumps, which helped me a lot.
Tip No.4. Join the group who have cleared the CISSP Exam
CISSP training courses, as well as boot camps, would be rather expensive but they would be totally worth it. I was very lucky to gain a spot in a boot camp prior to the week of the exam, so I was studying intensively for the whole week and cleared my CISSP on Saturday.
Tip No.5. Estimate and distribute your time wisely
It took me about two months for being ready. I reviewed CISSP books for about two to three hours a day every weekend. On weekdays, whenever I had spare time in the evening, I appeared for the test exams online, taking them over and over again until I would be able to gain at least a 70% score. As for splitting your time, a reasonable approach would be to spend 50% of your time reviewing study guides and while 50% of the time in taking practice tests. If you could also work with peer groups, I’d recommend you spend 40% on guides, 40% on tests and 20% on peer group discussions.
Tip No.6. Have a good sleep before the exam
The 6-hour, 250-question CISSP exam is considered to be atrocious and quite long indeed. I remember leaving the exam exhausted and devastated, and having no idea if I cleared. Getting good sleep the night before is a must because you would need plenty of energy for the exam.
Tip No.7. Create the strategy to use during the exam
I had opted for quite a simple but rather an efficient exam strategy. First, I looked through all the questions to ensure that my brain was on the same wavelength as that of the examiners. Then I answered the questions of which I was 100% sure. Next, I answered the ones which I wasn’t quite sure about but thought that I might know. That left just a few questions that, to be quite frank, I just didn’t know the answers.
So, if you follow these seven tips and acquire the study dumps, provided by the SPOTO Club, you would be able to crack the CISSP exam in one go.
