"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jer 29:11.
I have been waiting a year to use that line. Tracy G. thanks for that.
I would like to thank each and everyone in this CISSP Facebook group past and present. Your experiences has contributed directly or in-directly to my success. Passing my exam has only just sunk in since Thursday.
Luke Ahmed I would like to say thanks to you for your CISSP platform and the favors you personally did for me. I respect and thank you.
Study Materials Sybex, Shon Harris, The green CBK book, CISSP Training Kit by David Miller. Eric Conrad. Watched the David Miller and Sari Videos on Safari. I have Asir U. and another person to thank for that. Those videos are very good.
Practice Tests
I used the Sybex test practice book, completed the answers for each domain. I did one of the practice test exams. But only reviewed the answers I wasn't sure of. This is because speaking to one or two people it because very apparent that these results can lead to a false sense of knowledge. On the advice of Steve R. who said spend more times learning the concepts instead of trying to improve your practice scores.
So I did just that. I did do about 30 questions from each domain from CCcure and Transcender just to give me an idea of question structure. I also participated in topics on the forum.
Exam day
Walked in, did the test. Completed the first 100 questions in close to 2 hours. Took a 7 mins break. The next set of 100 took another 2 hours then took another break. Then another break and the next 50. Flagged about 35 questions and changed about 8. I finished with about 30 seconds to go.
You have to have people who care about you passing more than themselves. I found this care in Luke's CISSP videos, it really helps overall when you feel like you're studying by yourself. I lacked courage in terms of testing for the exam. I was reading for reading sake. The answers were flying towards me. I think I have made friends for life, hopefully we move on to other things.
"Concepts never change."You can use this book to confirm this very truth.
