On this podcast episode I go over my Lessons Learned from my unsuccessful attempt of the CISSP exam.

What I did right:

1. Purchased the "Peace of Mind" voucher (Basically two tries for the price ofone, or almost one)

#1 is why I took some calculated risk during this prep.

2. During the exam I used the Think Like A Manager method.

3. I used the from an assessment exam to identify my weakest areas.

4. I mapped my CISSP morning. (Wake-up, Get ready, and Leave Home alarms)

What I did wrong:

1. I waited too late to take my assessment test that identifies your weak

domains.

2. Assessment test should have been 100 questions instead of just 50.

3. Did not get to study one of my weakest domains.

4. Didn't get a lot of practice testing in.

5. Didn't practice test enough to be comfortable with clock management during exam.

Game Plan:

1. Focuse on weak areas from actual exam attempt.

2. Take assessment test of at least 100 questions to re-evaluate weak areas.

3. Get plenty of practice testing in.
