Lets us
have a look at few tips for getting the most from CISSP studying and clearing
the exam:
Make a
Schedule - Slowly absorbing the courseware is recommended.
A well-laid CISSP training course,
enable one to prepare well for the 10 security domains. Without overwhelming
yourself with loads of course material, one should prepare well in advance and
stay away from all anxious nights and study sessions.
CISSP
exam- the 4 hours stretch
Actually, you have six hours to finish, however, one should
not take more than 4 hours. If you are taking more than that, it means you are
not fully prepared. So, it’s better to keep yourself away from the last two
hours agony and get prepared well.
The CBT
(Computer Based Test) era
Unlike previous times, CISSP
exam is now conducted on a computer-based platform. This method enables the
participants to know if they have cleared or failed it right after the exam.
Here, one needs to read the questions very carefully. The answers may seem very
confusing.
CISSP training - practice more
CISSP
training equips you with apt and relevant knowledge and practice
questions that you need to do in order to clear the exam. It is recommended to
practice many questions and stimulated exams as one can. In the exam one needs
to answer 250 multiple choice questions, so one needs to be sure of the answers
and need to work the mental endurance up to the state where you can answer all
those questions. There are many courses these days to hone your skills. Many
methodologies also have come up to fulfill your training requirement. For
example, if you are a working professional and cannot devote time you may take
up virtual classes. In the same manner if you want to take a break and prepare
in some aloof corner of an exotic place and gain knowledge, you may go for CISSP Bootcamp course.
Keep
your nerves
Preparing and giving an exam is a stressful exercise and is
a skill in its own way. The key here is to remain calm and keep nerves.
Maintaining nerves and have strong mental health is what is needed at the end
of the day to retain every bit of what is read.
Endorsement
process is mandatory
Once you have cleared your CISSP exam, you are still not considered industry ready to certify
until another CISSP (who is in good standing) endorses you. Once the endorser
verifies your work and submits the endorsement application on your behalf, the
process takes around five week or so to become official, your certification
becomes official only after that.
Alternatively, the endorsement can be done from (ISC) 2 — the governing
body for CISSP, in case you do not know any other CISSP.
