Hi Everyone, I Passed the CISSP exam on Saturday. I attempted the exam in April 2024 but did not pass. Before now I used the following study materials - Official Study Guide (OSG) 9th edition, Sunflower, Luke Ahmed's How to think like a manager, ISC2 official exam prep and few you tube videos by Andrew Ramdayal. Preparing for this attempt, I joined the CISSP Skool Community where I gave me access to all the CISSP test questions and answers with explanation posted by Vincent and most importantly I joined the daily collaborative learning link where I was privileged to study alongside folks like Ed, Matthew, Ricardo, Pavithra, Aidah. Vishal, David, Babar, Emma and others using numerous question banks. I believed this helped me expand my learning and sharpening my exam mindset. I found this write up for my last minutes study - Cleared For Wealth | Break into defense contracting and build real wealth in IT as posted by Chiru. I really appreciate everyone that has helped me accomplish this milestone, especially to Vincent for running such a wonderful platform.
