Passed The CISSP Exam @ 100 Questions!
I’m excited to share that I passed my CISSP exam at 100 questions on August 16th. Here’s exactly what worked for me — I hope it helps you on your journey. Note: 5 Years Work Experience in IT & Cyber Security. Certs I earned prior to studying: CompTIA Security+, Google Cybersecurity Professional, ITIL v4 📺 Video Series Kelly Henderhan – CISSP Cybrary Course (10/10) → A must-watch. Pete Zerger – CISSP Exam Cram 2025 (10/10) → Download the free slides and use them as your notes. Destination Certification – CISSP Mind Map Videos (8/10) → Great overview; they also provide free downloadable notes. 📖 Practice Exams Official Study Guide + Official Practice Tests (9/10) → Use chapter questions, domain quizzes, and full tests. Great coverage, but remember: they test knowledge + a little mindset, so don’t just memorize — focus on understanding and thinking like a CISSP. Quantum Exams (10/10) Non-CAT: Humbled me (scored 55–60%). Quantum CAT (closest to the real exam): My scores were 868.82, 861.38, 854.86, 937.26, 969.74. Strategy: I did a CAT every Saturday, spent the week reviewing weak areas, and repeated this for 5 weeks. 📱 Mobile Apps (On-the-go study) Best when you only have time for short study sessions: LearnZapp (Official CISSP app) → Great for theory and technical knowledge. Destination Certification App → Great for risk-based mindset training. → Used together, they’re a powerful combo (10/10). Also great when I wanted to switch up my study routine. 🧠 Final Phase: The Information Security Manager Mindset Once I covered all domains, I shifted to reinforcing the “Think Like A Cyber Security manager/CISO” Mindset. Helpful resources: Andrew Ramdayal – 50 CISSP Questions (YouTube) Prabh Nair – Think Like a Manager (YouTube) Kelly Handerhan – Why You WILL Pass the CISSP → Combining videos, slides, handwritten notes, flashcards, and practice exams — and constantly switching them up — kept it fun, engaging, and highly effective. 📝 Exam Day Tips
Officially CISSP Certificate Holder
https://www.credly.com/badges/c69d3459-e219-4879-84cb-e400fd809ff7/public_url I’m delighted to share that I was officially awarded my CISSP certification this August! I sat for the exam on May 30, and, to my relief, it ended at just over 90 questions. By then, I was already feeling the fatigue and wondering if I still had the energy and focus to push through the remaining ones, so the timing couldn’t have been better. I want to express my sincere gratitude to the incredible American team I had the privilege of working with. In just one month of engaging with them, my level of preparedness skyrocketed, my approach to understanding and answering questions transformed, and my confidence grew immensely. While I struggle to recall everyone’s names (my apologies), I can’t help but mention the few I do remember Claudie, Chris, Timilehin, Taiye, Annette, Rebecca, and Victor. I know some of you have passed your exams - Congratulations. For those who are working towards the exam, I wish you success when you do, and I encourage you to keep the faith and continue with the work.
