CSSLP exam: can you revisit questions?

rjk — Tue, 11 Nov 2025 01:56:27 GMT

Hi All,

It's not clear from the exam description whether you can flag a question during the exam to revisit later. Does anyone know if you can or if you just have to answer and move on?

Thanks

Robert

@rjk All ISC2 exams are what I call one and done even on the exams that are still linear; you cannot return to the questions. I know that I first read it on their website but not sure exactly where to reference you to. So you will want to spend a little more time on questions that are not sure of. Best wishes.

Hi Robert,

No, not anymore - not on any current ISC2 exam:

https://www.isc2.org/frequently-asked-questions#Examination

You have to answer each question before being able to move to the next one, and you will not be able to go back and review / edit previous answers.

You used to be able to do this on the linear exams but at some point in the recent(ish) past ISC2 aligned the linear ones with the CAT exams and removed the ability to go back to previous questions.

Correct!! You cannot 'go back' to any question on ISC2 exams. You must answer it in order to proceed to the next.

Hi there,

I completed the CSSLP exam a few months ago (less than 6). I cannot recall the option to revisit the past questions again, so then you just CAN NOT.
