Review the (ISC) ’s Exam Outline: www.isc2.org.

Use the flashcards included with the study tools to reinforce your
understanding of concepts.

We recommend spending about half of your study time

reading and reviewing concepts and the other half taking practice

exams. Students have reported that the more time they spent
taking practice exams, the better they retained test topics. In
addition to the practice tests with this Study Guide, Sybex also
publishes (ISC)² CISSP Certified Information Systems Security
Professional Official Practice Tests, 2nd Edition (ISBN: 978-1-119-
47592-7). It contains 100 or more practice questions for each
domain and four additional complete practice exams. Like this
Study Guide, it also comes with an online version of the questions.

Completing the Certification Process

Once you have been informed that you successfully passed the CISSP
certification, there is one final step before you are actually awarded the
CISSP certification. That final step is known as endorsement.
Basically, this involves getting someone who is a CISSP, or other
2
(ISC) certification holder, in good standing and familiar with your
work history to submit an endorsement form on your behalf. The
endorsement form is accessible through the email notifying you of
your achievement in passing the exam. The endorser must review your
résumé, ensure that you have sufficient experience in the eight CISSP

2
domains, and then submit the signed form to (ISC) digitally or via fax
or post mail. You must have submitted the endorsement files to (ISC) 2
within 90 days after receiving the confirmation-of-passing email. Once
2
(ISC) receives your endorsement form, the certification process will
be completed and you will be sent a welcome packet via USPS.
