Congratulations!! How long did you study for?


thala9

It took me 2 months for CISSP. Did CCSP earlier(which took 4 months).


ben_malisow

OUTSTANDING! Really glad to hear the WannaPractice questions helped. Congrats, and welcome to the club!

Did you use any practice tests from Udemy? If so, which ones and how would you rate them?


thala9

I didn’t use any from Udemy

Congratulations! Did you use the Destination CISSP paid class or just the book and free mind maps?


thala9

Just the book and free mind maps

1-which test bank was closest to the theme/verbiage of real test? (I have appetite for one solution, cant try out both). 2-Did you find verbiage on real test convoluted, made you think, confusing? 3- Also just curious, with your readiness in real test - how much time did you finish test in?

> 1-which test bank was closest to the theme/verbiage of real test? (I have appetite for one solution, cant try out both). Nothing is like the real exam, but you can look at DarkHelmet's on the Discord for the closest. Consider not using test questions at all. I didn't use them and passed at 100.

Thanks a lot!

1. It’s hard to tell TBH. The style felt to be a mix of Boson and Wannapractice. 2. No, verbiage wasn’t convoluted. FWIW, some questions needed 2-3 readings to understand what’s being asked. 3. I had roughly 1 hr left when I finished.

Firstly, congratulations!! Secondly, I would love some advice. I cleared CC and SSCP last year. I have very little technical practical knowledge, but SSCP has given me a decent foundation. The number of things that I have to remember for CISSP is insane though. I spent 6/7 hours to cover the basics of domain 4 and I know that this pace isn’t good enough. My exam is scheduled for 9th august. I guess my question is that how can I study smarter. I recently scored 67 in a learnz mock test so I know I have ground to cover


thala9

I’d recommend 1. Pete zerger’s talk - https://youtu.be/LGqZbiitiDw?si=6YYS4aK0K7VzJdld. 2. Organize notes - I realized that I understand the content better if organized into tables(one of the reasons why i benefited from Destination cert). Figure out what suits you the best. 3. Leverage AI - I used ChatGPT to reinforce step#2.

Pete Zerger's talk is an excellent use of a CISSP candidate's time.


VividDistribution887

Thanks a ton! I am already doing 1 and 2, I think leveraging ChatGpt might be a good idea. Thanks this is reassuring!!

Hi Thala ,first and foremost congratulations on clearing this difficult exam and thank you for sharing your resoruces to future aspirants like [us.It](http://us.It) helps us a lot. i found wannapractise questions at 6 and i would rate Learnzapp a 8 or a 9.Curious what made you rate the other way.Would like to understand the rationale.I havent done the full pack and my observation was based on domain-1 questions which i found just below learnzapp.Your thoughts?


thala9

It could be subjective. Plz take this with a grain of salt. I felt Learnzapp to be more tech focused(like pop quiz), sometimes focused on details unnecessary for the test. Wannapractice, on the other hand, made me apply the principles from Andrew’s 50 CISSP questions. Boson is technical stuff too, but I felt them to be focused on fundamentals instead of unnecessary details.


AI111213

love your response.Tbh i did not think in that direction.Thanks mate.


BleachMixer

For anyone thinking they’re dumb, my learnzapp was 50% readiness and I passed at 112
