CISSP exam format re scenario based questions

einstein — Fri, 25 Nov 2022 21:17:51 GMT

Hello there,

I understand that the CAT (Computer-Adaptive-Testing) based ISC2 CISSP exam only shows any given question just once. You can not go back and forth between any of the questions.

If and when the exam presents a scenario description that's applicable to a group of questions (e.g. 2, 3, or 4 different questions etc), will the computer show the scenario description on the screen for each of the different associated questions? Or will the scenario description be only shown just once?

Thanks.

This question really belongs to Management. Maybe @ToniHahn can answer? or forward to someone who can.

@einstein

If an item requires a scenario, it will have it on the screen for that item. Even if another item requires the same scenario - it will have it again on the other item.

Hope this helps
