Passed the CISSP! Honestly, I started out the wrong way just mindlessly scrolling through the huge official study guide and letting 20-hour video courses play in the background. It felt like I was "studying," but I was actually just wasting time and retaining zero info because the material is so broad. I felt totally overwhelmed by the sheer volume of the eight domains.
The lightbulb moment? Stopping the passive reading and actually testing myself on specific areas. I used ITExamsTopics to hammer through topic-wise questions, which was a lifesaver for breaking the exam down into manageable chunks. It’s way better for actually learning the logic of each domain rather than just drowning in a 1,000-page book. My advice: stop reading and start doing. It’s way more effective than any marathon lecture. Drop any questions below!
