What’s the most time effective way to study for the CISSP? I’m already at least semi knowledgeable - without studying I can get in the high 50s on the Boson practice tests, and just need to brush up on a few areas (by no means an accomplishment - providing as a data point to indicate I know more than nothing).

Makes sense EY1.

No practice test will simulate be real exam

Loved the Boson exam prep !
That and a study buddy to quizz and review questions off of other was 😘

Check out the LearnZapp CISSP app which has a huge collection of quality practice questions/tests, flash cards etc. You can run through quick set study questions (10) continuously free, which pulls from the larger practice test bank. Unlock all the practice tests for $3 for a week prior the exam. As someone very knowledgeable going into the exam, this was still immensely helpful.
