Provisionally passed the CISSP exam

[Takeshi]

I have "provisionally passed" the CISSP exam.  I wonder if all passes are provisional?  Is there any direct pass?  How long do I have to wait for the final result?  Thank you.

All passes are Provisional.  This means that you passed the exam.  CONGRATS

The next step is to submit you paperwork and endorsements attesting to your experience level.  I have heard that this step can take four to six weeks for processing.

Yes, all passes are provisional.  Official results are emailed out a few days/week later.  

See this URL for details about what goes on behind the scenes.

My exam ended after Q125. Does that mean I was doing well?

It is graded pass/fail.  You will never receive a score. It is best that way, because we are both CISSPs (or will be) and therefore equals. 

Releasing scores would result in claims that I am the "better" CISSP because I got a greater score.

That said, one can hypothesize that since CAT exams end when they are confident in your outcome that the longer it takes, the closer you are to the line.
