Suggestions/ideas about CE credits?
So guys, while I am still waiting for endorsement to be completed , I started to have a look at the CE credits system. I understood that you have to reach 120 CE credits in 3 years to keep the certification; my question would be, if I go to a seminar, a congress or I follow a webinar that have nothing to do with ISC2, does this also can be counted? is there someone here that has more knowledge how this is working or have some tips? Thank you!

@Vincent Primiani thank you! this is surely a starting point :-)
Second time’s a charm!
Hey all, So I finally passed my CISSP today. Second times a charm, right! :) I took it and failed back at the end of October. Luckily, I had the piece of mind. Took it today and it ended at 100!! I couldn’t believe it, I kept checking the paper to make sure I read that right. What a way to end 2024. I think I’ll try CISM in 2025.

Congratulations!
Passed at 100 questions in 2 hours
Hello everybody! past Friday I have passed the CISSP exam! Incredible! I wanna thank you this group especially for giving me every day some "reminder" that I had to study That has improved my perseverance in reaching this goal. Let me tell you, if you really want, you will pass this exam! It is very challenging but it is doable. For me it was a marathon, not a sprint. I started 1 year ago following a 6 days bootcamp that was based on the All in One book; that was very useful for me to have a general idea on all the domains and for the first time to finish all the domains; I had tried on the past by reading the OSG book, but no way to complete it, too boring. Meanwhile the exam was going to change, so I decided to wait couple of months. Around august, I went on Udemy and bought the Thor Pederson videos, which is based on the OSG book . Videos are nice, cause you can watch on free time, regulate the speed, review, etc.. But I tend to think that you will have a passive approach with that. I begon also to look on the web, reading about other people stories (Reddit, discord, this group) ; that is also very valuable, cause I started to have an idea about how the exam was made; how is working the CAT, where to look for more videos and to find my strategy. I decided lastly to focus on fixing some concepts that I had difficulty to memorize using the learzapp, like all those US laws and regulations, terrible :-) Last 2 months I did about 2000 questions and 4 tests; doing some practice almost every day. I watched also the 50 questions think like a manager video, that I advise to watch, to understand the mental switch you have to do if you are too technical, so focus on the "why" instead of the "how". Last 2 weeks I bought the Gwen Bettwey questions on Udemy; that was important because the exam style goes more in that direction than the learnZapp, in term of style and complexity. Finally, the day of the exam, I tried to create the better possible conditions for me; I went on a Friday morning (I am fresher in the morning ); I arrived 1 hour in advance to the test center, so I had the time to have a coffee, etc..I could start half hour earlier than planned.

@Tom de Tukker hello, I would say that memorizing some tough concepts helped me to approach the exam in a more relaxed way, because I was more confident in myself, and during the exam help to answer quickly; even if the questions are complex, surely help to know the definitions; further, because out there, there is an overwhelming quantity of resource material, at a certain point, based on some comments on other forums, I indeed changed my learning approach , and I decided to assume that the official study guide was everything I needed to know to pass, and because the learnzapp is basically based on that book, this was covering all possible questions in terms of knowledge base. Another point that I decided to assume is that, on 100 questions , 25 are b-questions so not scored, and of the remaining 75 , I needed more less to answer correct 70%, e.g. 53 (roughly because I do not know how questions are scored); this it means you can make even 20 errors, and you still can pass. This is how I mentally approached the test.

@Tom de Tukker well, I am maybe too much pragmatic 😄; in any case, good luck and enjoy this study!
Practice Question!
Jim's organization-wide implementation of IDaas offers broad support for cloud-based applications. Jim's company does not have internal identity management staff and does not use centralized identity services. Instead, they rely upon Active Directory for AAA services. Which of the following options should Jim recommend to best handle the company's onsite identity needs?

I literally do not understand this question, probably my English is not so good; is this company using a 3rd part IDaas for cloud applications or they offer IDaas? they have active directory but they do not use a centralized identity services. Isn't AD a centralized identity service? What is the company need? we can assume that they might want to use only 1 type of authentication, in such case I would chose SAML, but in general it is a quite confusing question. I have seen somewhere same question, probably one of those questions you just need to answer by eliminating the ones that make not much sense.

Thank you Brandis, your answer pushed me to research some more! I still think C is the best choice, but I understand what you referring to security issues by using a cloud based service; but like Thor Pedersen says, for the exam we need to think like we have a perfect company .. anyway IAM is by far my worst domain :-)
