Pass Exam @100Q

Hi all,

I’d like to share my exam journey to help those who are currently preparing for it.

First of all, I purchased the Peace of Mind (POM) voucher, and I highly recommend it to everyone.

During my preparation, I felt mentally exhausted at some point, so I decided to take a step back and consider my approach. One thing that stood out from my exam experience was the number of technical questions, which was significantly higher than I had anticipated.

I eventually passed the exam at 100 questions. Interestingly, there were still technical questions, but the overall balance seemed more focused on managerial and scenario-based questions.

I also read the OSG cover to cover to identify my knowledge gaps. Although it was helpful, I wouldn't recommend going through the entire book unless you really need to. This is where I spent most of my preparation time without getting the best return on investment.

Practice Questions – The Most Important Part of My Preparation

Here are the resources I used, All of them added something valuable to my preparation.

Quantum Exams
Prep IQ Practice Questions (From Udemy)
Cissp Study Group & cissp.app
DestCert Mobile App

A Few Final Tips

Get the Peace of Mind voucher. Knowing you have a second chance takes away a significant amount of psychological pressure during preparation.
Don't spend all your time reading books. Focus on practice questions, understanding the reasoning behind each answer, and identifying your weak areas.
When you finally sit in that exam chair, treat it as your only shot.

Trust your instincts when answering scenario-based questions. Don't overthink things, and remember that understanding the mindset behind the questions is just as important as knowing the material.

Good luck to everyone preparing for the exam! <3
