How I passed my CISSP - Tips
As you might have already heard that CISSP is one of the toughest certifications out there.... YES it is!!
Well I am going to share a few tips which helped me pass my exam..
1. Make a plan!
Yes, a plan/schedule for your preparation is ideal way to start. I would recommend planning for 30-60 days study schedule depending on your priorities and free time available.
2. Book a test date!
As CISSP is now available in CBT (computer based test) format, it is more flexible option and one no more has to wait long to take the test. Booking a test date will set a goal in your mind and will help you get serious on your preparations.
3. Tackle distractions!
Yes, we all have busy life. However, this exam needs some serious preparation and you should dedicate time sincerely. Share your plans with friends and family and make them aware that you might not be available for some time.
4. No easy way out!
This point makes this exam stand out from other common certifications. There are no dumps available on internet which would be similar to real exam. There is no way you can pass using any dumps or question bank. So, my advice - get your concepts clear. Although you can use practice tests like cccure.org which are good at evaluating your domain knowledge but make sure you study from atleast two sources and get your concepts right.
5. Exam day!
This one is a marathon. Few of the questions are so tricky that they not only test your knowledge on security domains but also test your mental agility. So stay focused, take regular short breaks. Get refreshed and attack the questions!
Good luck!!
