CISSP exam duration - June 2022

baiju — Thu, 10 Mar 2022 18:30:07 GMT

I booked CISSP May 1st week and I noticed it is 4 hrs. instead of 3 hrs. .

Could you please someone confirm on that ?

I am also worried about number questions , will there be any change in number of questions as well.

Regards,

Baiju

Interesting. I wonder if they are still going with the CAT approach for testing then? Or changing the weights, etc. You would think with these changes coming up, ISC2 would have already communicated this information... I can only imagine the panic that will wash over people as they approach 150 questions and have to keep going. Surely some will fail as a result of this unannounced change.

Additionally, the information Baiju received from ISC2 is also inaccurate. The exam format change is effective beginning May 2022 - not May 15th. April 29th tests are still 180 minutes - May 2nd switches to 240.

So I am seeing May 2 and May 15 in this thread. Also if staying CAT, I would think would maybe be the same percentage of questions, so 133 - 200 questions to pass depending on how answer the questions. Also where is the formal announcement as it is not listed on the objectives or in The Ultimate Study Guide? Thanks.

I am in the same boat. However, is it only exam duration that is changing or would the number of exam questions and topics tested on the exam also changing?

ISC2 site still says it's a 3 hour exam:

https://www.isc2.org/Certifications/cissp/Certification-Exam-Outline

It did used to be 6 hours before the adaptive testing.

I have E-mails into (ISC)2 on this. There is nothing on their site but these discussions.

@RT365 Do you have any proof, i.e., screen shot or email, of the 4 hour time frame from Pearson VUE? I just went through the process ,as a test, and it said 180 minutes on the check out screen.

Always use the official (ISC)2 website for the most up to date information on matters such as this.

4 hours is a long time to sit through to answer questions...
