I Passed the CC Exam

sanadshuaib — Sun, 26 Jan 2025 06:57:01 GMT

I am happy to announce that I have passed the CC exam successfully.

The online course was beneficial, but you should also consult other sources of information. I went for the "CC Certified in Cybersecurity" study guide by Mike Chapple. You can also try to practice with online CC quizzes available on the ISC2 website and other websites.

Good luck

Tanks Joeazed,

Yes, the questions were multiple-choice questions. In general, if you are prepared well, you will pass easily. The questions were not so hard to answer. However, try to memorize as many terminologies as possible, especially types of attacks and threats.

Hi Sunday, I am happy for you that you passed the CC exam. congratulations and more wins. I do love to ask a quick question about the exam, the question you were asked was is all from the training and manual?

Hello dukevals
Actually the course and the manual covered most of the questions, however some questions were not in the course nor the manual like some kind of attacks like piggybacking attack

There are 25 beta/pre-test questions on the exam; so at least 25% of the questions are probably not covered in the material. These do not count for or against your scoring of the exam.

That makes sense now! I thought I'd missed a chapter or something.. I must have answered enough questions correctly as I passed my CC exam, but I studied the material quite thoroughly and was sure some of the questions were not from it..

It may have been a beta/pre-test question. There are 25 of them. When ISC2 asked for volunteers for the pilot, I did volunteer. I already had my CISSP. I wanted to be able to help with the pilot but also wanted to be able to speak about it intelligently with those that try to help. Because of that, I could actually pick out some beta questions. I definitely could not do that on the CISSP.

Yes, That is correct. Actually, Mike Chapple mentioned that in his book saying " The CC exam includes 25 unscored questions, meaning that only 75 of the questions actually count toward your score. ISC2 does this to gather research data,
which it then uses when developing new versions of the exam."
If you don't know this tip then it will be a little bit confusing when taking the exam

Hello imshambhav,
Unfortunately, I have a printed copy of the book "CC Certified in Cybersecurity Guide" by Mike Chapple, which I highly recommend. However, you can find great deals for the book on Amazon with 39% off the price. Check it out.
