Exam Preparation Tips

Maximize your performance on the actual CISSP exam with these test-taking strategies:

  • Complete at least 2-3 full practice exams under timed conditions before your actual exam
  • Use practice exams to identify your weak domains and focus your study efforts accordingly
  • Practice eliminating obviously wrong answers first before selecting the best option
  • Remember that the CISSP exam tests your ability to think like a manager, not a technician
  • For scenario-based questions, identify the core issue before selecting your answer
  • Pace yourself - aim to spend no more than 90 seconds per question
  • Review your performance metrics after each practice exam to track improvement
