How I studied for the CISSP and Passed 2023
I crammed for the CISSP in just under 4 weeks. These are the tools that I used to pass the CISSP.
First, I read the CISSP Offical study guide: (ISC)2 CISSP Certified Information Systems Security Professional Official Study Guide & Practice Tests Bundle 3rd Edition I read this book cover to cover, taking notes for each chapter. I never touch the practice tests book, except that to verify with Wiley to gain access to the online tests. After reading that Offical Study Guide, I used the LearnZapp Official CISSP study app and took those quizzes every chance I could. I did 780 questions at 67%. Read the blip about why you got the questions wrong. My work did send me to a Online BootCamp from Trainingcamp.com, which was great, but might have been a tad over kill for me. My degree is in this field, and I have been working in Security and Networking for over 12 years. Most of the material for the exam seemed like a review from college.
The second book and site I would reccomend is Study Notes and Theory. Now, I only ready half the book, but getting into the manager mindset is key to pass this exam. His videos on his webiste are also really good. I signed up for his site for his question pool. DM me for a coupon code.
I printed these cheat sheets out to look over before the exam: https://www.reddit.com/gallery/uzpwcw The day before the exam, I read the 11th hour Third Edition. Its not totally current. However, I read it cover to cover the day before, taking notes and bookmarking things I want to review in the parking lot before the exam.
This video just showed up on my youtube feed this morning thought it was amusing.
