Passed CC exam while preparing for CCSP

I passed this exam today after taking a week out of my CCSP preparation and using this as a way to 1) familiarise myself with the testing center and environment, and 2) get a feel for how ISC2 structures their exams.

 

I've been studying for my CCSP for 3 months and am writing this month, so most of my preparation had arguably been done. But I still felt like it would be safe to go through CC-specific content. I used Thor Pedersen's course and exams on Udemy and Mike Chapple's course on LinkedIn.

 

For this level of exam, I think Mike's course is more suitable; his explanations are clear, concise, and straightforward. The key for me was to not go overboard, because the amount of material out there can be overwhelming. Thor's course, whilst great for general security knowledge, was a bit too much. His exam questions are quite tough as well so if you score well there you're probably going to do well in the exam.

I think that the CC is good to check your general cybersecurity knowledge and to relieve some stress of taking an ISC2 exam.  For the CCSP I mostly used no cost materials from CSA (Cloud Security Alliance) and NIST (older but still relevant).  Congratulations and best wishes.
