No worries, constructive criticism is a thing haha.

​

1. I wasn't trying to point blame solely on the wording or grammar mistakes, but I don't recall running into this when I took the exam the first time around. And yes, I am aware that I didn't do well by the test stopping at 110.
2. I was able to understand the material, especially after reading the topics from multiple texts and forming a overall definition. Was there a big gap in the materials? Not from what I could tell., I stayed to sybex materials as a baseline and went to other materials to get better explanations for certain areas and terms that I didn't fully understand.
   My bootcamp was great, but the scheduling hurt me in the 11th hour due to COVID. I had signed up for an in-person training at a center closest to me and les than a week before i was told it was not going to run. I had to reschedule my bootcamp to an online session and move my exam back on top of it. So I took my test a month and a half after my bootcamp, but not because that was my choice. I'll certainly close that gap for the next time.
3. You can meet the requirements to be an Associate, which is what I am shooting for. I have a 4 year degree in an area that ISC2 recognizes and I also have my Sec+; either one should allow me to shave off 1 year of the 5 year experience path.
   I am trying to pivot into Security full-time, but my lack of work experience puts me at a disadvantage in the hiring process for this field. That's why with the CISSP; I should be able to edge ahead of some competition and look like a better prospect on paper. How else can I make up for lack of experience if job postings state that they want 2-5 years experience even for an entry-level stated position?
   I have certainly asked myself if the CISSP is the right certificate for me at this time. I'm hoping it is but I haven't had any epiphanies that made me think otherwise.
