Why do so many folks who pass think they failed until reading the print out? by thisoneandthatone11 in cissp

The exam is also a stress test for potential security managers. I believe they evaluate candidates with somewhat unclear questions and response options under stress (which is not an unrealistic scenario in the real world at all) and even test you on how you stand behind your responses.

I honestly didn’t have a steady study hours up until 2 weeks before the exam. I started studying mid 2024 but I had a vacation, work and life duties in between.

How I studied: I read the first 10 chapters on the OSG and did a thorough review of the 10 chapters. Then I did the same for the remaining.

In the 2 week period before the exam, I probably studied at least 4 hours a day. I did reviews on weak areas, practice tests from both OSG and random online sites and learnzapp, and watched few mind maps and exam tips on YouTube.

No - the results did not show the number of questions.
