CC Exam Scheduled - Nervous

TeflonDon36 — Sat, 15 Oct 2022 13:08:32 GMT

**** Update **** - took test about 2 weeks ago and passed. I just paid my $50 AMF yesterday and I’m officially CC certified. Good luck to all those studying and preparing.

All I used to study was the material given by ISC, nothing more and nothing less.

No PBQs on the exam.

Best,

James

I've been in a helpdesk role for 6+ years, and NEED to branch out of this role. I'm opting to go the Security, Cloud route and thought I'd take advantage of the CC exam since it's free. I've gone through most of the videos, and have passed all assesments in the high 700 range. 
 
Do the assesment questions that are available change? Or are they always the same? 
 
I assume I'm ready to take the exam if I can pass the assesments. *PRAY* - I hate testing!

The questions on the exam will not match the questions found in any study materials.

If you encounter "brain dump" sites that claim otherwise, they most likely fraudulent and ought to be reported.

Who said anything about brain dump sites???

I was asking if the questions in the assessments that ISC provides change every time you take the assessment? (are they always the same 75 questions or do they have a pool of 300 questions, and the assessments aren't always the same) I've taken the assessment twice, but I didn't really notice if the questions were different than the first time I took it.

Really just trying to gauge my "readiness".

I apologize. It was unclear to me if "assessment" referred to study, exam, or both.

My CISSP and CCSP study materials all utilized fixed lists (same questions each time in the same order). I can not say for sure if CC study materials are designed the same.

The exam questions themselves definitely do come from a larger pool of questions.

They are the same questions, although I think there is a pool of around 100 so some may change or be duplicated.
I've passed the CC exam recently and none of the questions were like those on the assessments, I had to check I had the right exam, I passed but my advice would be to take your time and read the questions.

Also good luck with the next step, endorsement, this seems to be the most difficult part as I passed over a week ago and haven't been able to endorse it yet due to my account not being provisioned?
Emailed member support and am still awaiting a response, I must say, so far I'm not very impressed.

You don't need to endorse the CC, you need to endorse certifications that are on associate or professional level but not the CC.

Bu there's a endorsement process , But you don't need any member to validate that. It's the Annual Maintenance fee that's taking time for me. To get the certificate you need to pay $50 as AMF. The portal is not working..

Re: CC Exam Scheduled - Nervous

CalciJ — Wed, 21 Sep 2022 15:23:13 GMT

You still need to agree to the code and pay the AMF which is all done through the endorsement portal.
So far it seems I've taken the time to study the course, take and pass the exam but can't show off my hard work as something seems to be wrong with (ISC)2's system.

I am stuck on that step, I couldn't complete the payment .. the page displayed an error message when adding credit card expiration date.

The exam is a bit different from post assessment exam shown during the self-paced training, I suggest that you take some security + practice tests.

During the Certified in Cybersecurity exam try to understand the questions, pay attention to some keywords, they are the key to answer correctly. Also start reading choices from the bottom to the top to avoid checking a bad answer.

Good luck

So if I pass, $50, to actually get the certificate, and be able to provide proof if a potential employer asks, not bad.

Breath, Read, Answer - I got this!!

Luckily, I am taking advantage of the free exam.

AWS is offering 50% of their Cloud Practitioner exam as well. Trying to take advantage of all these great deals!!

Hi,

Cleared yesterday.

Assessment questions are unique till 2 sessions. Then they start repeating.

For IT background people, ISC material is sufficient, not very difficult (I am non IT background, hence looked up other online references.)

@CyberG7

Yes, I only studied what was given by ISC^2.

Disclaimer: I've been in the IT field already for 6+ years. So I already had a good grasp on some of the content
