It's rumored the CISSP examp pass rate is about 20%. I scheduled my exam for the spring of 2024, and I have set aside precisely six weeks to prepare for it.

Even if you're an expert on Asset Security, this ensures you're comprehensive and close knowledge gaps because very few individuals are experts in all the domains covered by the CISSP exam.

Knowing the exam is half the battle, but it's important to understand the types of questions you can expect and have a tactic for each.

Rew Ramadahl's "50 CISSP" questions and Kelly Handerhahn's "Why you will pass the CISSP" are solid mindset tools to align your thought process to how the ISC2 likes to challenge test takers.

While my exam experience as a consultant with a focus on GRC is somewhat unique, this background was most definitely an asset.

The exam challenges test takers to think like a senior executive rather than a network engineer or sysadmin.
