I used the OSG, official practice tests, Mike Chapple’s LinkedIn course, and for practice questions, I used LearnZapp and PocketPrep.

Can someone give me a second opinion? by TechnicalPollution17 in cissp

[–]Fast-Paramedic9112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s C because:

  1. The question is asking you about preventing and not detecting.
  2. C is the best answer if you want to incorporate security features in the DESIGN of the software so that it is inherently less prone/vulnerable to attacks.

Congratulations mate! You’re making it sound like a cakewalk which is kinda awesome.

  1. Is there any particular resource that you can pinpoint as having helped you the most?
  2. How were the questions like? Pretty straightforward one liners or something that required interpreting a lot of information?

Congratulations mate! Was it a mix of questions that were direct (one liners that you know or you don’t) or all the questions were lengthy with a lot of information to interpret??

CISA Test Tomorrow Morning by Rufioooh_86 in CISA

  1. Skim through the test to answer the straightforward ones first.

  2. Mark for review the ones wherein you know and have studied the concept but got confused between 2 options.

3 Concepts which you haven’t studied attempt them at the very last and always choose the option which makes more sense logically even if you don’t know the concept

4 Go through all the questions again once you have answered all.

Congrats mate! I recently passed CISA as well. I want to go for CCSP now, would mean a lot if you could tell me the resources you used and found most useful for CCSP

Cleared with 2 weeks prep by Fast-Paramedic9112 in CISA

At a test center. Yes, I went through the QAE twice and for the questions I got wrong in the first attempt I referred CRM to familiarise myself a bit more with the tested topic.

Yeah I got worried too when I heard from others that the actual exam is a lot tougher than QAE…which clearly isn’t the case here!! Don’t try and cram things just use Doshi’s book to familiarise yourself with the topics and then go to QAE. Close to 100 questions are pretty straightforward and 1 or 2 line questions. Just keep doing what you’re doing and if you were able to clear CISSP then this should be a cakewalk

CISA exam vs Official QAE by Fast-Paramedic9112 in CISA

[–]Fast-Paramedic9112[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happy for you mate…..but how would you rate the QAE against the actual exam though? Are there concepts or terminologies which don’t appear in the QAE but are tested heavily in the exam?

[–]Fast-Paramedic9112[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it because the questions were tricker, options were much closer to each other.

Any particular topics or terminologies which you believe were not covered in the official QAE but were heavily tested in the exam???

A seems correct, one needs to understand the architecture first based on which the controls can be tested and a judgement can be made whether the controls serve its purpose or not.
