I have provisionally passed the CCSP exam and speaking as someone who has extensive Cloud and security experience, it is not an easy exam.
While it's still all fresh in my mind, here is some advice I have for anyone preparing to take the exam:
- Have a deep understanding of the material. Simply knowing what something is or what it does is not enough, you have to be able to think critically in answering some of the questions.
- Read and understand the questions. Context is everything, and one word or phrase could make all the difference to what the answer is.
- Manage your time. Don't fall too far behind when it comes to your timing. The exam does not get easier as you go so you need to ensure you're not digging a hole for yourself too early.
I'll add a little more depth to this post when I've had time to reflect. Best wishes!
