I am pleased to share that I cleared CCSP exam yesterday 26/06, must admit it was one of the toughest grueling experience focusing on exam for 4 hours. apart from technical capability this test your patience to sit & focus in one place for 4 hrs !! I finished the exam with 33 sec to spare had to rush in last question so that I don't run out of time.
My tip.
- Know the domain and its content & concept well.
- Go through the reference material latest twice.
- Attempt domain wise test questions and work on week domains

Congratulations on passing! I'll be taking my exam this year as well.
Regarding the NIST & ISO documents you mentioned you used - were there any specific documents that helped?
Thanks for sharing the tip. You have referred CCSP Learn app, just to clarify is it https://www.learnzapp.com/ ?
Please do confirm as i am writing the exams by next month. Thank you.
As others have stated (and I concur) the best prep guide for the exam is the 'CCSP Self-Paced Digital e-Textbook' ONLY offered with ISC2 CCSP Self-Study program. IMO it's the BEST study/prep guide because there is no-fluff and it perfectly aligns with all the CCSP exam objectives - it's gets you focused on on-task.
I'm generally not a fan of the recorded self-study lectures (reading the book and hands-on works best for me if I can't engage in Q&A) and many are overpriced, but the CCSP Self-Study is reasonably priced ($440 for ISC2 members and with 20% discount for the 90 day access option) and it's the ONLY way for one to put their mitts on the Digital e-Textbook since it is only available to students.
There are plenty of other good options, and I'd advise reading Mike Chapple's official Study Guide and several other mentioned resources if your CCSP knowledge pool is a bit shallow. Here's my recommendations:
