If you're in the U.S., you can access LinkedIn Learning for free through your local public library. Many libraries also offer free Udemy access through Gale Presents: Udemy. Ensure to obtain your library card and know your pin number. For LinkedIn Learning, go to your library page, mine has a life-long learning section. When in doubt, call the library.
Here’s the link to check if your library has free Gale Udemy access:

Just choose your library and log in with your library card.
It still surprises me how many people are paying out of pocket for LinkedIn Learning when these resources are already available at no cost.
Total Seminars has 4 ISC2 CC Practice exams. Udemy has many options. My recommendation is Paulo practice exams. They have some per domain and a set of six comprehensive exams.
I also used https://www.pearsontestprep.com/home/ which was much similar to the actual exam in the way the questions were designed. For example, the drag and drop option came up here for me. CC Certified in Cybersecurity Cert Guide by By Mari Galloway, Amena Jamali was the book I used in addition to Mike Chapple's book. Here's what Mari and Amena's book states
- Enables you to focus on individual topic areas or take complete, timed exams
- Includes direct links from each question to detailed tutorials to help you understand the concepts behind the questions
- Provides unique sets of exam-realistic practice questions
- Tracks your performance and provides feedback on a module-by-module basis, laying out a complete assessment of your knowledge to help you focus your study where it is needed most
Mike Chappel's book gave access to the Wiley practice exam which was more difficult than any of the practice exams on LinkedIn and Udemy. It served as a good sounding board to review knowledge gaps.
I borrowed both books from my local library.
I hope this helps someone in their CC journey. If you have any questions regarding these resources, please reach out.
