Don't get caught up with practice exams. They really don't captured the essence of the questions you will see on the exam.

Good luck. I’ve just been staring at my book for the last four months.

Boot camp is the only way to prep for this imo. Even the EY bootcamps have a 30% pass rate.

Study NIST SP800-30, 53, 82, then NIST CSF and encryption then you should have a chance. Also exam requires thinking not memorizing

I took my sweet time back in 2000, when they were no boot camps widely available ie 1 domain / week. I learnt a lot and passed on the first go. Enjoy the content vs those boot camps.

OP, from which domain you got the questions most ? In new format just curious

Hi Members, 

I am a supply chain professional with 10 years of experience in supply chain operations and program management in e-commerce, telecom, and 3PL distribution companies. 

I immigrated to Canada 2 years ago and worked with Amazon Canada for last 1.5 years. I recently lost my job and looking for a new job opportunity. 

I have completed my CSCP and PMP certification 

I would appreciate any leads or referrals.

This might be a long shot but I'm looking for a volunteer who is trying to break into a federal career. Maybe a transitioning veteran, recent grad, or career-changer.

I'm pursuing my master career coaching cert and need to do a recorded 45-minute session. You don't have to be identified if you don't want to.

The single session is all I'm asking but could certainly turn into a longer lasting coaching relationship (at no cost), if you like.
