CCSP Practice Questions

Ben_Malisow — Thu, 01 Feb 2018 07:28:34 GMT

If you're considering taking the CCSP exam, my new book of practice questions just went live as an Amazon ebook today (it ships as a paperback on the 12th of this month): Official CCSP Practice Tests.

I'd be very interested to hear any feedback you might have, either here, via email, or as Amazon reviews.

Thanks, and good luck to those taking the test!

Hi Ben,

The answer to the question 127 is none! Eventhough I can argue that Elasticity promotes Availabilty. If the CCSP test include questions like this then only a good luck on the can make you pass the test !

Sure, give away the answers with no spoiler alert! heh.

You can make an argument for anything, assuming you abstract out the question/answer far enough...but the most correct answer is the one listed. You'll do better on the exam if you think of the questions in that manner: what is the most-best/least-worst answer?

Good luck! And how did you do on the 126 questions before that one?

My best tip for the CCSP is below.

After all of the foundational reading you have above please check out "NIST Special Publication 800-146". While reading Chapter 4 of NIST 800-146, I created scenario questions in my head and answered them.

Thanks, Ben! I just took and passed the exam on Friday, and then this book comes out! It probably would have helped immensely. I took your online course for the CISSP a little over a year ago and it really helped me pass the CISSP exam, so I am sure this book would be a big help in passing the CCSP exam. I used the CCSP book you Co-authored as my primary resource for studying for the CCSP as well.

Thanks, Chaunce, and congratulations! Sorry you missed out on the practice tests, but glad the Study Guide was so helpful, and that you dug the class. Looks like you didn't need the practice, though! heh. Congrats again, and welcome to the club.

HA! Sorry, Matthew-- my bad. But good luck on the test, and please let us know how it goes!

Hi Ben,

Scroing around 83 % on the official exam practice questions indicate enough prep for teh exm? or do I need to raise teh bar to 95-100 %? I know its kinda silly question but does not hurt to ask 🙂

Ben,

Well, I do have good news. The testing center here is backlogged so I have two weeks until I can test. Now I bought the book and will use it to fill the gap. Thank you!,

No, that's actually a great question...but I have a lousy answer: I honestly don't know-- not enough of a baseline (people who have used the book, then taken the test) to be able to give you any kind of feedback, unfortunately. Hopefully, as more readers try the exam, we'll get more feedback (maybe they'll post here??). Sorry...not much else to tell you, at this point.

HA! Well, I hope that doesn't throw off your efforts at all, but glad to know the book might help out! Please let me know what you think, and -eventually- how the test goes.

Re: CCSP Practice Questions

akhan1 — Sat, 10 Feb 2018 03:23:47 GMT

An honest answer! but I liked the questions and some of them are really really hard 🙂 lets see, I am planning to take the exam in April.

Re: CCSP Practice Questions

Ben_Malisow — Sat, 10 Feb 2018 03:32:27 GMT

Awesome! Really great to hear-- thanks for saying so. And please, please let me know in April whether you think the book helped at all.

(Also, there currently are no reviews for that title on Amazon...wanna be the first one? I'd owe you my eternal gratitude and the beverage of your choice whenever we meet.)

Sure thing! I was actually going to review it amazon anyway.

Righteous-- thanks! I'll owe you the drink, anyway. heh.

I passed the CCSP exam yesterday and my main source was the Sybex (ISC)2 CCSP Official Study Guide (by B.T. O'Hara & Ben Malisow) with the companion website. My scores were between 93% and 100% 4 days before the exam.

Guess what, I found the exam very easy. The materials cover 100% of the exam.

Ben, Thank you very much much for sharing your experience and knowledge!

Awesome!! I am SO glad to hear this; really glad it worked for you, and that it serves the purpose. Thanks for saying so, and congrats on the new credential!
