Retake CCSP Exam

[technologist]

Hi Friends

I appeared in CCSP Exam las week and couldn't pass , it was frustrating as I had to travel to another city + hotel stay which is nearly equivalent to the exam cost 🙂

Study Material:

1. (ISC)2 CCSP Official Study Guide
2. 250+ practice questions part of the book.
3. 500+ other practice test questions.
4. 3+ years cloud security hands on experience.

Analysis:

1. Cloud Concepts, Architecture and Design and Cloud Data Security was below proficiency and rest is above.
2. None of the question was even close to the above practice exams, I feel like I am being tested based on real life work experience.
3. Question such as related to Fuzzing , FedRAMP , FIPS, public wifi hot-spot etc was bit unexpected and new.
4. Overall feeling during or after the test that I am OK but when I saw the result , i was shocked.

Any advise before I rebook my exam 😞

any good practice test or learning videos?

thanks in advance.

The unexpected questions may have been beta/pre-test ones in the exam. I used the Sybex book. For cloud security I found CSA and NIST no cost documents the most helpful. You might look into (ISC)2’s self-study course. Best wishes.

can we flag CCSP questions and revisit them or once question is submitted with answer its done?

Hello.  Unfortunately NO, you can't flag a question and go back to revisit.  You have to answer it before moving on to the next one and there is no going back.  I'm not a fan - I'd rather address all I can quickly and come back to re-think possible answers.
