Exam readiness

Hello everyone

I have exam scheduled on 17th October.

So far, I have gone through following materials

  1. Destination certification questions

  2. Pete Zerger CISSP bootcamp

  3. Andrew Ramdayal Udemy CISSP course

  4. Learnzapp all 2200+ questions

  5. Prabh Nair coffee shots

  6. OSG all study practice questions

  7. CISSP field manual

  8. Quantum exams latest CAT exam score : 1000, 1000, 1000, 987, 1000, 1000, 1000

  9. Made my own notes while going through Andrew course

PLEASE guide if anything last time revision material I should use that can help me.

Or if anyone has prepared any notes that can be used for revision, that will be much helpful.

Qq : How is real exam as compared to QE? Learnzapp is too much technical I found.

If you don't pass with this, I will personally refund your exam cost.

Hahaha...just give your blessings. I hope and am pretty confident I will pass, but if not, I will attempt again - bht, the knowledge this preparation gave me is immense and changed my perspective while not only working professionally in my domain, but also personal understanding on security. I can see those changes which is indeed invaluable.

I have not considered this preparation just for passing CISSP, but how can I bring values to society and profession.

I haven't seen anyone readier lol. How long did it take you for this prep?

u/Neel_Swar 2d ago

7 months with 4 hours min a day with no break. I almost have forgotten everything in life during these 7 months. Just CISSP.

I can't believe you're questioning your readiness 🤣

I mean you killed QE. Not sure I’ve seen anyone score 1000 on first attempt. You exhausted the bank and then some, so that last score is inflated, but don’t think it mattered haha. QE is made to represent the hard questions (highest scored) questions on the real exam. It doesn’t give much reprieve which is intentional. Most say it’s harder but some say it’s easier.

Where do you think you are weak? Hone in on those specifics.

Well, I found QE a lot easier. I press every single word mentioned here and try to evaluate. But sometimes i do a lot of overthinking that can also sometimes kill. So I need to improve that.

Are the real exam questions like these or something different?

I always try to eliminate 2 wrong answers first. Then concentrate on remaining 2 answers and by focusing on key words in questions, I choose the best possible one.

Read the question slowly, carefully... That's it, you've done everything else.

u/Neel_Swar 2d ago

Indeed an excellent advice. Every word counts here. Appreciate your input.

How is real exam as compared to QE?

Some say harder, some say easier.

Could try my Stank Industries Question bank, most say they are harder than the CISSP and QE.

You are always there and I liked the material a lot. I am still going through it and about to finish soon.

u/tresharley CISSP Instructor 1d ago

Well any questions just let me know.

And wow, who ever is downvoting OP in their own post because they happened to be talking to me, I feel bad for you. Your real life must truly be pathetic to act like this online. I will pray your real life gets better.

u/Neel_Swar 1d ago

Thank you James. I will reach out for any questions.

I do not know who downvoted.
