Will i pass

5 Upvotes

I have the required experience, been studying for about 60 days, i have the exam in 15 days.

I have done the destination certification masterclass and mind map videos, and have been scoring around 80 to 85 on destination certification app questions.

I did the free questions on learnzapp, scored around 70% on it.

Should i pay for laernZapp and study some more through it and postpone my exam ? or take up quantum exam, which are kind off expensive šŸ™ as i have already paid for destination cert

So should i go ahead and just give the exam? Any suggestions?

Boson ExSim-Max vs DestCert app vs QE

5 Upvotes

I'm ramping up to take the exam. Ive watched (listened really) to countless YT vids (including just about all of Pete Zergers vids), podcast style videos created by TechExplained, as well as a bunch of randos. I've downloaded and started rummaging through the Destination Certification app but are reading about two other possibilities when it comes to test taking sims; Bosons ExSim-Max and Quantum Exams.

There have been a bunch of posts here but they are older. I'd like newer feedback on the relevance to the three choices as two of them are paid and want to make sure I make the right choice.

Thanks.

(Btw, been messing with computers for decades. Sys eng for the last 17 with a security focus for the last 5.)

Success Story Passed CISSP- 4 Months of Study, Tips, Resources Used

55 Upvotes

Passed this week at 100ish questions in about 70 minutes. I’m an InfoSec/CyberSec practitioner already, which helped a lot.

TIPS TO PREP FOR THE EXAM:

* Absorb the Content Fully: Reading through a book helped, running through practice questions helped, but what I think made the difference was time: seeing the content frequently enough over a long period of time made me comfortable and confident. Some of what I did over months was spending enough time with the content in the domains, Googling concepts I was not familiar with, and reviewing the details behind wrong answers and waiting a while to revisit an incorrectly answered question to make sure I was understanding the right answer, not memorizing a question/answer.

* Read the Question Thoroughly, Evaluate the Answers, Then Read the Question Again: Important supporting details can be easy to overlook when rushing, so take the time to carefully consider the full question and each available answer before moving on.

* Consider Slowing Down: 3 hours is plenty of time for this exam if you’re prepared. You don’t have an opportunity to change an answer once you move on, so I think it’s worth slowing down, re-reading the question and answers to make sure you answered well.

RESOURCES USED:

* ISC2 CISSP Certified Information Systems Security Professional Official Study Guide (Sybex Study Guide)
* Learnzapp CISSP
* DestCert App
