The Fastest Way To Fail Your CISSP!

I had my exam scheduled for today at 9:45am. I arrived at the exam centre around 9am to get settled. I went through all the usual signing in bits, put all my stuff away into a locker and they allowed me into the room early. In my case a room of about 15-20 desks. I confirmed my identity with the TA, they gave me a whiteboard and markers. She told me what desk I'd be at, I looked over and the ISC2 screen was up so I thought "Great that'll be me". I spoke about water breaks etc, grabbed some tissues and earplugs then went to my seat.

Immediately started to brain dump onto the whiteboard, a few moments later I noticed the screen changed in the corner of my eye. "Grade - Rejected". My heart sank...

I didn't even look at the screen until that point.

I remember someone along the way mentioning the NDA was timed but I wasn't reminded on the day. My 3 minutes were up and boom. Thats all folks.... I'm trying to speak to ISC2 to see if I can be considered for a reschedule but may have to pay the exam fee again.

Hope this is a cautionary tale that helps others.
