I am pleased to share that I cleared CCSP exam Today 31/07, I concur with SJ, it is one of the toughest exams to sit for 4 hours with all new scenario-based questions.

The first 50 set of questions reached in 120 minutes, 100 questions reached in 200 minutes, and 150 reached in 239 minutes to spare 1 minute to submit.

Felt too tight and hard sitting for 4 hours after long time for exam and questions are too hard with in depth scenario not seen in any Practice questions (2500+)

CCSP Learnapp(mobile) questions help to give good start with sample questions and help to understand concepts very well.

Before 6 months at high level view - random reading
Before 3 months-daily reading.
Before 3 weeks -focused reading and practice.
Before 3 days -- full swing dedicated reading and practice

My tip.

- Know the domain and its content & concept well.

- Go through the reference material as many times as possible

- practice questions /practice questions /practice questions ......

- Understand the similar concepts and apply (find the examples for each concept feature cloud and security) Materials used

Hi Prasada,
Congratulations for your achievement.
I’m also preparing for the CCSP certification. As you mentioned you practiced 2500+ questions, just want to know the source of these questions. Also you mentioned mobile app let me know the application name.
Thank you in advance.

Hello - thanks for the list but I cannot locate 'ISC2 official training & CCSP Official (ISC)2 Student Guide 5th Edition' on a 3rd Edition so please supply the ISBN. Much appreciated!

Re: Cracked the CCSP Exam in first attempt

It has been previously mentioned on this community that the printed materials included in the (ISC)² training courses are not available separately.

Hello Sj, Congrats for clearing the exam. I recently failed the exam and I did prepare like crazy still it was not enough. Do you think buying official isc2 course makes the difference?

Please is the CCSP Official (ISC)2 Student Guide 5th Edition, offered in print version?

Congratulations on passing! I'll be taking my exam this year as well.

Regarding the NIST & ISO documents you mentioned you used - were there any specific documents that helped?

As others have stated (and I concur) the best prep guide for the exam is the 'CCSP Self-Paced Digital e-Textbook' ONLY offered with ISC2 CCSP Self-Study program. IMO it's the BEST study/prep guide because there is no-fluff and it perfectly aligns with all the CCSP exam objectives - it's gets you focused on on-task.

I'm generally not a fan of the recorded self-study lectures (reading the book and hands-on works best for me if I can't engage in Q&A) and many are overpriced, but the CCSP Self-Study is reasonably priced ($440 for ISC2 members and with 20% discount for the 90 day access option) and it's the ONLY way for one to put their mitts on the Digital e-Textbook since it is only available to students.

There are plenty of other good options, and I'd advise reading Mike Chapple's official Study Guide and several other mentioned resources if your CCSP knowledge pool is a bit shallow. Here's my recommendations:
