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! 👍

Hey everyone! Just got back home and super excited to share. I passed my CISSP exam! It was totally worth it, and I’m incredibly grateful for all the support along the way. For anyone curious, I didn’t read any books. Instead, I ✅ Went through ACI Learning’s video course on Coursera twice ✅ Completed Mike’s course on LinkedIn twice ✅ Watched Pete Zerger’s course, first at normal speed, then much faster on the second round ✅ Used mind maps once 2 days ago ✅ Attended community study sessions Huge thanks to Rebecca, Venket, Chris, Shane, Claudie, and everyone else who made this possible. Couldn’t have done it without this awesome community! 🙏

After positive feedback from the first exam strategy guide that I compiled, I expanded it to provide a structured approach to selecting the correct exam answer.

I am excited to share that I have provisionally passed the CISSP exam today It took a while, months of effort and discipline, including overcoming a previous failed attempt. Thanks to my family, friends and CISSP Study Group Community, i could have not done this without any of you! @Vincent Primiani thanks for putting together this wonderful community of liked minded people, with a common goal of achieving the much sought after CISSP certification. I'm not going anywhere, i am still going to be a member of this community and help where i can, and of course onto the next one ......

They call the CISSP the "Gold Standard" for a reason. It isn't just an exam; it is a mental wave where every question sends you into an imaginary, real-life scenario. After 3 hours and 150 questions, I am thrilled to announce that I have officially passed!
