Is CSSLP a CAT (Computerized Adaptive Test) like CISSP?

Not yet, but I’m not sure what the future will bring. I can understand there changing all exams this year to a CAT exam.

For more information about the exams I would recommend the ultimate guide:

Computerized adaptive testing (CAT) is a form of computer-based test that adapts to the examinee's ability level. For this reason, it has also been called tailored testing.

As of today, the only CAT-based exam offered by (ISC)² is the english version of the CISSP.  My suspicion is that others will be "updated" to CAT over time and probably in order of decreasing popularity.

It's an incredible tool, and I first ran into it in the early 1980s. However, at the
level of complexity of these certification tests, it is very difficult to determine
whether it's working effectively.
