I don't do well on tests even though I know the material. I freak myself out. I'm taking the test for the first time this Friday. What do you feel is the hardest part for taking the test?
The best advice I can give anyone taking the CISSP exam is that you need to pay special attention to key words like best, most, and least in questions.
While there are technical components to it, overall this isn't a technical exam where everything has a clear right or wrong answer. The questions are often higher level and require consideration and making a decision based on context of the situation presented. This is a skill that is desperately needed in most tech-focused IT orgs I have seen.
Take the time to read the questions very carefully and use your knowledge of the materials plus your real-world experience to arrive at the answer.
