Hi everyone, I wanted to ask those who have recently taken the exam and submitted their endorsement application: how long did it typically take for you to your application approved?

Anyone found a good mnemonic for remembering the order for the levels of the capability maturity model? I keep mixing them up in test questions. Initial stage I get but get stuck mixing the repeatable, defined, and managed order

I took and passed the CISSP exam yesterday, Friday May 16th, with 17 minutes to spare! I didn't take this exam alone. I walked into the exam hall with a virtual tribe of individuals lifting me on their shoulders. Their confidence in me, dispelled all of my fears and anxiety. Sitting in front of the examination computer, the questions seemed clear to me, even if my fundamentals may have been a bit fuzzy. I would not have passed the exam without the support of this Skool platform, our CISSP Community Study Group (CSG) and the personal connections that I have made via the study groups. Here is my attempt to thank everyone. If I missed someone, please attribute it to my excitement. @Christopher Schneider for introducing me to this platform, @Rebecca Kirk for suggesting that we form a Community Study Group(CSG), @Vincent Primiani for providing the platform, @Fouad Ahmed for motivational support and lots of great documents, @Shane Symons for supporting the group, our CSG members: @Annette Corona @Timilehin Ajibade @Maurice Lightfoot @Taiye Olorundare @Stan Lyubarskiy @Tahjar R @Mario Rasathurai @Reggie Johnson, @Randy Rempel. Special thanks to @Venkat Ayyer @Babur Farooq, @Peter Marie, who passed but continue to support the CSG and @Jolian Stephens @Martín Figueroa for the late night Quantum Question reviews. There are so many more..... My main resources: Original Study Guide: Nineth and Tenth Editions (Wiley Test Bank too)

I passed the CISSP this Monday! I relied on several resources that have been highly recommended by many in the community. Here’s a list of what I used: - LearnZapp - ISC2 Official Exam Prep App - Cert Mike - CISSP: Certified Information Systems Security Professional 2024 - CISSP Certification Prep - Pete Zerger CISSP Exam Cram 2024 - CISSP Prep Coffee Shots - 50 CISSP Practice Questions. Master the CISSP Mindset - How to PASS exam Certified Information Systems Security Professional CISSP in 12 hours Additionally, I utilized the following books as well: - The Official ISC2 CISSP CBK Reference - Official ISC2 CISSP Study Guide - Official CISSP Practice Tests, 4th Edition - CISSP All-in-One Exam Guide, Ninth Edition - Destination CISSP However, none of these courses, bootcamps, or videos directly covered the content that I saw in the examination. The CBK/OSG and LearnZapp were much more helpful. The most beneficial tool for me was using something like ChatGPT to understand concepts better and analyze questions. It really helped me understand why certain answers were better than others. Wishing all my fellow CISSP aspirants the best of luck on your journey! You’ve all got this!

Hello Team, I’m thrilled to share that I have successfully passed the CISSP!
