Unfortunately no one can without the risk of losing their certification(s). Before start the exam, it will specifically have you agree to not do that. Make sure that you know the exam objectives (ISC2 calls it an exam outline). Also remember that there will be 25 beta/pre-test questions which may have material that never saw before. I know that Thor and Luke (ask if interested and don’t know of them) have practice questions. Those will not be like ISC2 questions and are to make you think.

Best wishes.

I'm also exploring if there is someone who has wrote the exam can give us some necessary information.

@Mentor As I explained to the poster, when a person takes the exam, before they even start, they must agree not to do what you are asking. Doing so could lose them their certification(s). There are also NDAs on exam development workshops to also prevent this. There are practice questions out there. They will not be like ISC2 questions. If they were, ISC2 would take action against them. Practice questions are only to make you think, not replicate an exam. Since you said write the exam, I will guess that are from India or learned English from an Indian teacher. I always like seeing that because many don’t get it but like the diversity. Best wishes.

@Mentor @INWADIALO To add to nkeaton's excellent advise, plus understand that with certifications like the CC, as well as the others from ISC2, ISACA, SANS/GIAC, CompTIA, etc, the groups doing the training are separate from those doing the testing. And as such the practice exam questions will NOT be the same as the actual questions. This is due to most of these certs being ISO/IEC 17024 certified themselves.

And that is fine.

You need to focus on knowing the material. Not in knowing the questions. Both the training and the testing are tied to the 'common body of knowledge' of the CC.

As nkeaton pointed out, its a violation of the NDA to share the actual test questions. And why you should NOT make use of exam "dumps".

I do encourage you to get ahold of proper practice exams and use those.

Good luck.

ISC2 provides training, including practice exams.

There is also the official review guide.

@emb021 I participated in the pilot when ISC2 asked for volunteers even though already had a CISSP because wanted to be able to speak about it intelligently to help others and to be part of its development. The eTextbook as they call it did not come out until after the certification was officially released with its current name. It doesn’t cost much but did not seem to add a lot over the self-study training that comes with their 1M offer. I know that there is a lot more out there now; Thor and Luke both offer training. So there are other resources. I think is a good effort and am very supportive of it.

Thanks for your input, the thing here is I'm not asking for where to get past questions as you portrayed, there is no crime in asking if someone who has wrote the exam before should give us an advise, I want to reiterate that I'm not asking for past questions as implied in your message.

Once again, thanks for your input.

Thank you, I understand the rudiments of NDA, I mean I've write CompTIA exams, at least 3 and I can resonate with what you are trying to say, so I'm not asking for past question, part of being in the community like this when you are about to write an exam is to seek for word of advise and that's what I'm asking and not past questions as you implied. Thanks

@Mentor You need to understand where @nkeaton is coming from, which I understand. Am sure it is not personal.
There seems to be a large number of people, mainly from a certain part of the world, who have a strange mania for getting "dump" of actual exam questions to "study" from (or more likely memorize) rather then actually learning the material. As he pointed out (and I have as well) its a violation of the NDA, and an ethics issue to share this info. And I find it a dumb way to prepare. The practice exam questions available with official training should suffice to prepare.

Frankly I wish people would stop asking for "dumps", but I guess its just human nature to look for shortcuts.

@emb021 Thank you. It is definitely never personal but do take exam protection as very important. With what I work on, a lot of requests for dumps and copyrighted material are usually from the same countries but definitely not always. I am not an enforcer but have zero problem reminding people what is right and wrong. I do let a moderator know when a request is what I consider Over the top. It is their exams and our certifications that we are protecting. I take my NDAs very seriously.
