I watched ALL your CISSP videos. I downloaded all the PDFs and reviewed them a week or so to the exam. This morning, I provisionally passed the CISSP exam. Your videos really helped reinforce the content I had covered from the official study guide. Thank you very much for your videos and may God bless you for putting this important content out.

[devakumarmahadevan]

Thanks for the very informative video. It gave me a very clear idea on how to start my preliminary arrangments to start securing the cissp certification.

Sir, you are a Visionary. You are a Saint. I passed my exam (1st attempt) a few hours ago and it's due to this series that you made that helped me out with my prep. Even if I would not have passed it, this series is worth it.. Thank you for everything.

[islandgirl]

Thank you. Your videos helped me pass my CISSP exam.

[michaelyt]

Love the video, very helpful. I take it that the time spent on each of these steps should vary based on your current IT and cyber security knowledge? I may have missed it but I don’t think you covered who this method is best suited to.

i love your voice, very modulated and easy to listen. i have about 7ish weeks to prep, already been reading, watching, listening to multiple resources for more than a year now on and off and this tips right here are very good.

You sold me 100% when you said not to do brain dumps and memorize questions.... I've met several people who have done this with CCNA and security+ and can't explain the most fundamental concepts.

[mlamson]

I love your videos - I would recommend them to everyone pending exam! THANK YOU!!

im studying for my CISSP now. Ive worked in many towers of IT for over 25 years. the past few years Ive been in InfoSec and want to step up my creds. Im taking the Pocket Prep quizzes and without any studying Im routinely getting 75-80%. I have weak areas that I need to reinforce. I hope your videos help me.

Good plan. I am about to try it out. Tried getting my CISSP back in 2020 along with my PMP and AWS Solutions Arc cert. Passed the PMP, failed the AWS, and they closed the testing facilities before I was able to take the CISSP. I haven't been working heavily in cybersecurity since then, and just took the 50 question practice test, scoring a 62%. Some things were very familiar, others I don't remember learning about. I'm wondering how much studying I'm in for.

[shibaproy]

Sir I am thankful and indebted to you. I passed Cissp in one chance today. I repeatedly saw your videos domain wise and studied the Cissp book suggested in your videos. Thank You so much Sir.

Not a right forum to ask but, CISSP All-in-One Exam Guide, Seventh Edition is still valid for 2021 exam? newly added topics can be covered from internet. Is it worth reading the 7th edition?

[craigsenzon]

Hi, appreciate the flashcard suggestion. How best to order and/or print in hard-copy format?

[Skaur]

Thanks for the great content. I m wondering if I need to take Comptia Sec+ before taking this exam?

[saiksaikatai]

Great video and material. I am on board your slides technique hope i can take the exam in 2 months. i have one remark your plan seems to lack one important thing: the DETAILED thinking process to answer CISSP question. i really hope you can help us with your explerience on that aspect.

[pavanirao]

Thank you for uploading the video. It is very informative, could you please provide link to the PPT slide deck that you had studied? Thanks!

[hammeronify]

Thank you for your guides and tips. One thing I don't understand though, if you have to pass each domain why do the domains have weightings?

[sebasstuff]

Question on the practice test in the description. If it says you passed does that mean you also passed each domain? How about for the assessment from the study guide?
