Welcome OG, how far into the material have you gotten

[chamar]

I have been working on the study questions from the ISC2 test bank. I have done 4 domains so far I have three more to go. Then I can see where I need to focus 1st.

I have read chapter one of the SSCP CBK Reference book, took the official chapter one practice test, worked throught he notecards for chapter 1, and I have went through the learnzapp assessment test. Also I have been using audiobooks free from the library hoopla app to study other fields. I have been through a few hundred podcasts over various topics relating to cyber security. I have found alternative free courses online including databricks, securiti, intel, and cisco. I have hundreds of webpages bookmarked. I signed up for new perimeters magazine. I have a list of books I have read related to cyber security. I have joined a couple dozen of groups. I am attending free web seminars. I do not work in the field. I am communicating with many colleges.

How do I access the practice exam tests?

[chamar]

I am using the ISC2 test book I bought it from amazon.

[franklim1990]

Mike Chapple works very hard. Though I recommended him put together a new edition. The tests seem a little "hurried". I would like to log any input or improvements you might recommend.

[franklim1990]

Downloading the notecards would be my first go to for practice. Its free. But you can just search SSCP or ISC2 on google store. Also you can purchase the book on discount with an ISC2 membership I believe.
