I passed the CISSP today 03/23. I studied for roughly 3 months using various resources. I wanted to thank this study group for the practice questions. Here is a jumbled list of the resources I used and probably forgot a few. Exam Questions: Learnzapp and CISSP app The Destination Certification App also comes with over a thousand free questions and flash cards that are somewhat like the exam LinkedIn Learning Practice Exams (pretty good) Books ISC2 CISSP Certified Information Systems Security Professional Official Study Guide, 10th Edition by Mike Chapple (I read this whole book and used the companion site for questions) CISSP Exam Cram: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7XJSuT7Dq_XPK_qmYMqfiBjbtHJRWigD Why you will pass the CISSP: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2Y6Zog8h2A 50 CISSP Practice Questions.

I am happy to announce that I passed the exam today. It was a long journey for about a year, I failed my 1st attempt in Oct. Joining this group last December was the tool and environment that helped me cross the finish line. This exam takes dedication and persistence. You only fail if you give up and a successful test is just a few mouse clicks away. Reading is not easy for me but regularly attending the online group to practice and discuss the materials helped me immensely. Keep up the effort and don't give up. YOU GOT THIS! 👍
