Studying in San Diego

Hi everyone! Taking the test hopefully in November 2025. I started studying in early July, with 8 years industry experience. Recently with workload changes, it's been getting harder to maintain the discipline to study as often as I was, especially in the areas I know I'm struggling in. If anyone is in the San Diego area, let me know if you're interested in meeting up to keep each other accountable, even if we're not studying the same thing or testing at the same time 🙂

@tsimmons you might check for local active cybersecurity chapters. Sometimes ISC2 or ISSA chapters offer CISSP resources such as study groups or training. I am assuming that are talking about the CISSP. If that is correct, I definitely recommend Luke’s How to Think Like a Manager. It helped me more than any other resource because frames the mindset needed to answer questions correctly. Best wishes.

I will definitely see about my local chapter, and thank you for the tip on the training resource!
