Brian Kelley – Information Security Assessor, FRSecure.This will give you a goal to work toward instead of pushing off the exam thinking you are not ready.” “Even if you think you are not ready to take the exam set up your appointment. I passed much to my amazement, and I was soooooo relieved.” I took the test and almost all the allotted time. You might consider doing the same if you’re in a similar situation. It was sort of like burning the ship to ensure you take the leap and swim! I also had to travel about an hour from home to get to a testing site, so I booked a hotel room a block away and stayed overnight. I did this and made the commitment to test (and pass) by that date.

“Determine your CISSP exam date and stick to it. Melissa Kjendle – Information Security Consultant, FRSecure.

I took the FRSecure CISSP Mentor Program twice and took many notes both times.” “I made a commitment to spend several hours a week to prep. Many of our instructors and experts at FRSecure with the certification cited commitment and dedication as key components to success. Give your best guess and move on.”Īnother common theme among our respondents was consistency. Take an entire test exam in one sitting without looking up answers. That means no phone, internet, or distractions. Take as many sample tests as you can and try to replicate the testing environment as much as possible. Knowing how to take/survive/pass standardized tests is another. There are few better ways to prepare than to take tests designed to mimic the actual CISSP exam! Prioritize those weaker areas.”Īsk anyone with the CISSP certification what helped them pass, and you can usually count on practice tests being brought up. Determine subject areas you know well and those you don’t.
