CISSP exam in two weeks, and I've no iudea how the exam compares to the practices

I feel like I know all the stuff, but feel like a 4 hour multiple choice exam I have to wake up at 6:30 am for is the least ideal way to test that

Any advice/assurances for someone who really just needs letters that tell well-meaning HR people that I am hirable?

if I fail I basically have to spend another 1k and take it again in a week

and then I have an eclipse chasing vacation and my brother's wedding, which I hope will make me less stressed


bah - 2024's first half is intense

@silverwizard I'm going to be further East in Magog, I'd like that for sure but I'm not sure how to organize this yet.

@silverwizard We'll be in Canada just Sunday and Monday for the eclipse, so it will be tight indeed.

@Lord Doktor Krypt3ia I've been running security teams since 2017, I've already been there and done that

@Rivetgeek That makes sense. I did a video course, then did a practice exam, read some of a book, and then did another practice exam, and then gonna read more from the book. Hoping this'll work. I'm hoping the CISSP Official Practice Tests book relates to the exam. But seriously.

@Rivetgeek Yeah, I've been destroying my weekends all year >.<

@silverwizard: if I can pass it, just about anybody can. There is certainly a lot of stuff to take in, but it is learnable.

I should admit that it took me two tries, but i got there 🙃

@BB :verified_cool: I really hope I don't have to find another fee, that's my main fear!
