Forget self-paced studying if you’re married or have other significant time commitments outside of work. There’s also just a sh*tload of information to remember over a long period of time.

Your best bet is to attend a week long boot camp to cover all the material and take the actual exam at the end of it.

I took a boot camp and then studied on my own for 3 weeks before taking the CISSP. Here’s what helped me pass in order of importance:

1. Listening to the security now podcast
2. Doing hundreds of practice questions
3. Boot camp

For context, I have no formal cyber or IT education (my degree is in English).

If you have truly met the experience requirement you should be able to pass with very little study. If not please don’t even try to take it you’re just contributing to the dilution of the cert - which is close to water at this point anyway.

I wasn’t informed of the results and reached out, but the recruiter isn’t replying to my emails. Does this mean I was rejected?
