What should you Study to get yourself Prepared for CISSP Exam ?
The first thing that you need to consider is to examine the main topics in each domain. This would reveal your concentrations as well as infirmities. Then, take the plunge and purchase at least one of the all-in-one guide study books. Plan to take at least two full-length practice tests before you are appearing for the exam.
The questions in the CISSP exam would test the knowledge of a practitioner who has practiced for at least three to five years. It points out to assessing the minimum level of expertise that would be expected for an individual to acquire the professional certification in information systems security. Thus, candidates who have gained knowledge in their profession wouldn’t find the exam as much difficult. Most people, who claim that the examination is difficult, are the ones who have not covered the widespread knowledge of 10 domains.
The CISSP exam can be complicated for those who have partial knowledge. The exam composers may even create questions with the sole aim of distracting you. For example, they may design a telecommunication question that is very much related to cryptology question. Most instructors would be making such questions in class so as to prepare their candidates for the exam.
The format of questions in the study pattern is very much related to the actual questions in the CISSP exam. However, the questions in the study guide won’t match the questions in the exam in terms of complexity.
Well, I have passed my CISSP in the very first attempt, with 100 Question in 100 minutes and to put out the entire exam preparation in just a simple word, I would say it was quite grueling.
Now I have proper knowledge about why the CISSP credential is valued so much in the IT industry. The CISSP credential would not just show one’s knowledge of the security domain but it is also going to validate that you are having the tenacity, patience, will-power, and the skills so as to render the security challenges of everyday life from the management point of view.
Let me frank with you, to be honest, for the first 5 to 10 questions, I was so much confused I wasn’t sure that whether I am reading the questions properly or not. I then take a quick short break, tried to remember through some breathing exercise and then started the test again.
I was so anxious before the exam that I have reached the exam center an hour before the test time and couldn’t let go of Shon Harris’s guide until the very end.
During the entire preparation, I have read 3 books so as to cover twice which included,
1. Shon Harris’s AIO, 7th edition
2. Eric Conrad’s CISSP Study Guide 11th Hour,
3. CISSP Certified Information Systems Security Professional Official Study Guide 8th edition. Also, I have watched all the latest video series regarding CISSP Preparation. And finally solved about 3,000 questions, and still felt that I have prepared nothing.
Conclusion:
By concluding my review, I would like to say that, do not register for the exam until and unless you are willing to sacrifice your precious sleep, parties, relationships or any other thing for at least about 4 months. But as we all know, that it would be totally worth it. This credential wouldn’t only be helping you to advance in the profession but will also teach you about how to be more disciplined in each and every aspect of life as well. So, if you have finally decided to sacrifice everything, I would recommend you to gain the best, training, with passing guarantee, like that is offered by the SPOTO CLUB Services.
