1) retaking policy
You can sit for (ISC)² exams up to three times within a 12-month period.
For the CISSP-CAT, CISSP, SSCP, CAP, CSSLP, ISSAP, ISSEP and ISSMP: If you don't pass the exam the first time, you can retest after 30 days. If you don't pass a second time, you can retest after an additional 90 days.
If i am to reschedule in another 3-4months time, there is no issue or difference in retaking compare to my ytd failed attempt right? exam free still the same.
2) CISSP or CISSP associate
i'm afraid of losing out if just taking up associate cert.
In my current and past experience, i do not formally justify or quantify i'm performing a security function but i did touch plenty of asset security, access management, vulnerability remediation (can be domain 6/7) in my administration. Im having an IT degree and tech cert in VM + MCSA.
Will i benefit in taking CISSP associate first?
