CCSP and new CSA Guidance v4.0

[fujiyama17]

Hello everyone -

I am a student who took a (ISC)^2 official class in June of this year.  Due to life, I postponed the exam till mid November of this year.  During this time, CSA came out with Guidance for Critical Areas of Focus in Cloud Computing 4.0 which is a bit different than the (ISC)^2 study material.  Two questions:

1) Does the CCSP now cover the new concepts from the Guidance for Critical Areas of Focus in Cloud Computing 4.0?

2) I am scoring pretty high in the given tests from the most recent Sybex book, and other tests current on the market geared toward this test.  I have heard that these tests are not as difficult as the actual exam.  Can anyone guide me to material/practice test questions that are more on par with the difficulty of the exam?

Thank you very much!

Just took the test yesterday and passed, it still considers the CSA Guidance v3 from what I could tell. My study was based on CCSP CBK Second Edition, ISC Flash Cards and CCSP Mobile App. Use those tools and study materials and your experience/knowledge in the field and you should be fine.
