Big news! I'm thrilled to share that I've passed the CISSP exam on my first attempt, finishing at the 100-question mark. This was an intense but rewarding challenge, and my success was powered by a fantastic study stack. A huge thank you to the creators of: *Sybex Official Guide: The Audible version was a game-changer for constant learning. *Destination Certification: Their mind maps and app were crucial for visualizing and practicing concepts. *Cissp.app: An essential tool for drilling questions. *Pete Zerger's exam prep: For providing that critical strategic insight. Leveraging AI tools like Gemini and ChatGPT for dynamic Q&A sessions was also invaluable. Finally, a huge thank you to everyone who shares their knowledge and experiences so openly. I am eager to pay it forward and contribute to the community.
