Let's try this again...Brain not good now...I somehow passed my CISSP. I was one THOUSAND percent certain I failed. I had to answer all 150 questions with about 10 minutes left on the clock. When I was handed that printout that said I provisionally passed, I kind of went through a kind of stages of grief...shock, denial, acceptance, then joy! My brain is still decompressing from that horror of a test. I failed it twice before, so I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. No more late nights studying! No more answering practice question after question after question! No more trying to remember the difference between SSL and TLS!
What did I use to study? Being that I passed, I suppose it might help to know, but to be honest, I really don't know. I used the typical stuff others used: Sybex official CISSP study guide, 8th edition. Their CISSP official practice test book, 2nd edition. Boson exam questions. And literally thousands of practice questions, whatever I could find online.
So good luck out there to those who's taking it soon. I'm not one of those first-time passers in a 100 questions. Third-time passer and proud of it! Now I'm going to celebrate with a nap!
