Provisionally Passed Last Wednesday - No Email

[AirmanDash]

Hi everyone,

I provisionally passed my CISSP last Wednedsay on the 27th.  I am still waiting for the email from ISC2. 

I was wondering if this is normal or if I need to contact someone.

Thank you very much!

I suspect you will get something this coming week.  Remember that this past week was US Thanksgiving and many US firms close for the holidays.

Additionally, I believe they state, that confirmation can take up to one week.

Thanks for the heads up!  I will wait.

Hello @AirmanDash! Feel free to reach out to ExamAdministration@isc2.org if you've not received your email by Thursday. That team is U.S.-based so they were out of the office on Thursday/Friday last week, but are back in action today!

Thanks for the heads up!  I'll wait until the end of the week then.

Looking forward to it!  ❤️

Hey and thanks!

I used Thor on Udemy, and did a lot of practice exams. I also worked in cybersecurity for 10 years, so a lot was always in the back of my head.

Thanks for sharing. Could you please let us know which practice exams or questions you did most? And, were they closely matching with the CISSP exam level?

Thank you, I will check out Thor on Udemy. I’ve been working through the Official Study Guide and Official Practice Tests, and after about 4 attempts, I finally passed one on the first try. Would you say that’s a good sign? Also, did you find the OSG and Official Practice Tests to be accurate prep for the actual exam? I’m planning to go through all the questions multiple times.
