Next edition of the CISSP book and exam?

CraigM — Sun, 07 Jan 2018 11:24:17 GMT

Hi folks,

As we're now in 2018 I'm hoping to get an exact date for the switch over to the next edition of the CISSP book and exam.

I understand it may be April, is there now an exact date on that?

Thanks,

Craig

Is there also a change to the format of the Exam> I take it the Book will be out for a period before changing the Exam?

The new testing method came out in December 2017, The content is still the same.

I did have a link to new weighting for the different topics, It is on ISC2's website some where. I don't think it is massive changes but more of bring certain subjects in to the exam. GDPR comes to mind.

As for a book, I bet it wont be out until September or so

The new CISSP exam is already out. Its been out since December, 2017. For more information, look for my discussion post, "Information on the new CISSP" to see the information you need. And don't forget to click Kudos. And refer people to read it and also click kudos.

All the best

Hi David,

Sorry, I'm not sure I understand.

I'm not thinking of the new CAT format, I'm thinking about new content, your note of GDPR would be a good example.

I thought the plan was to switch in April 2018? And wouldn't the book have to come out before the exam?

Sorry, new to ISC2 and not sure of the methods.

Thanks again,

Craig

Hi,

I think you're thinking about the CAT version of the exam, I'm thinking about new content and hence new questions based on the content.

I know, it's a bit confusing at this point.

Thanks,

Craig

Thanks, very helpful.

While there doesn't seem to be much change, I'd still like to understand when the exam will change to reflect this new content. If anyone has this info it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Craig

Hi Graig

The Detailed Content Outline has been updated and will go live in April.

There are some slight changes but the most important is the balance of weights.

For a CISSP candidate working towards the exam the current materials are still valid.

Cheers!

Hello Craig,

The updates to the CISSP exam will happen April 1. We'll have a new course then, and aiming for a new CBK book in the Summer.

We'll share details as we have them! In the meantime, we have both versions of the exam outline (prior to April 1, and after) available for download on our website.

Hello

I noticed new contents have few new topics in some domains. It means do I need to wait for the new book to take new CISSP exam in April or I can pass the exam with current content?

Regards,

Kashif

Hi Kashif

I don't believe that the changes will have a big impact on the exam. If you feel a good level of preparedness you can sit for the exam.

I am liking many of the changes in order to keep up with the technology. Excited to see how the new topics are being covered and what is being emphasized. As an assessor, I am still using the CISSP book to ensure my assessments cover the best practices and to come up with additional questions included in the assessment.

Indeed Kratzy11

I'm working on a Last minute guide to CISSP and the changes have no real impact on my book. Of course I updated the few changes in the DCO!

Cheers
