CISSP study guidance

Hi,

I need some guidance.

I have the Security+ certification from CompTia and wanted to give ISC2 a try, so I signed up for the free CC training and exam voucher. I passed the CC exam this past Saturday and was already in the process of studying for the CISSP exam.

One thing I noticed about the ISC2 practice questions for the CC exam, they were nothing like the actual exam questions. I know they are designed that way, but for the much harder CISSP exam, I worry that the ISC2 practice questions and flash cards will not be enough.

My current study model includes:

- Fully completed the Global Knowledge CISSP course via Leo Thrush (http://infosecprofs.com/who-we-are/)

- Currently reading the CISSP CBK, and my notes from the Global Knowledge course (300+ pages including images)

- ISC2 Official 6th Edition Flash Cards - 100% completed

- ISC2 Official 6th Edition Practice Tests - Completed 20+

For those of you who recently (6th Edition) passed the CISSP exam advise on the material you used for study? Any other relevant information is greatly appreciated.

I still feel as though I am not prepared enough to clear the exam and want to write it with confidence.

Thank you for your guidance!

Hi @dpower - thanks for the question. I passed the CISSP in 2021, and posted about it. Rather than rehash it, I linked that post. If you would like, please check out my post. Hope it helps!
