Andrew, I passed at 100 questions today and this video was instrumental in that result. I applied your techniques to every question. The fact that you put this out for free is amazing. I cannot thank you enough!

[@TechnicalInstituteofAmerica]

Congratulations and celebrate well 🍺

[@cwleo1]

Question 40 should be 4950 as the answer. 100 x 99 / 2 = 4950. I'm taking my CISSP tomorrow. thanks for the insightful tips. :)

[@Akashsingh-rq1vg]

exactly what I was getting! questioned my math skills :D

[@TetrisAddiction]

I also agree- if this was a question I guess I would go with his answer because it is closest to the right number while having enough keys to satisfy the requirement… still a bad question

[@infinitydev8034]

I agree. Thanks god I saw your guys discussion. I guess we go with bigger number.

[@JaredEvans]

To get 5050, it would have to be 101 nodes. Either the question or answer needs to be fixed.

[@cristobalguerrero6666]

Totally!

[@kdlittle88]

I provisionally passed my CISSP yesterday and got my endorsement as well as the confirmation letter from ISC2, and I can honestly say that this video and way of thinking was seriously, I mean seriously the most helpful in helping me pass. I went from taking practice tests and continually asking WTF? to confidently attacking them and when I took the test, I can't count how many times the mindset in this video helped me answer questions I otherwise would have been stumped. Thank you Andrew!

[@jaya2821]

Any tips?

[@roykelley3734]

@@jaya2821 Tips for the exam, don't get down on yourself as the exam is draining and exhausting. The whole time writing the exam I didn't know if I was passing or failing and it wasn't because I didn't know the answers (I have been in Security for years) it was because the way the questions were worded. I am very technical minded, getting out of that technical mindset is not easy. Your video really helped break down how to approach the questions and peal away the answers choices that are not correct for the question until one was left. Its almost like the CISSP exam isn't testing your knowledge but rather your mindset for security. Keep up the good work and will check out your other videos for my next course.

[@huangbruce1363]

question 40 : 100(100-1)/2 =4950... the answerers are wrong. But very helpful session!! great mindsets

[@DhDo74]

I thought I was losing my mind. I questioned my own sanity.

[@christopherbartlett1548]

The answer is b. 5050 because you need at least 4950 keys. 4900 is to little. the others are not efficient, way to much.

I highly reccomend any one preparing for the CISSP exam to watch this video. I watched it about a week before my exam on March 28th. If I had more time between when I found this video and my test, I would have taken the full course. The material and strategy Andrew teaches is spot on to the type of questions and choices you will see on the exam. I passed at the minimum 125 questions. Thank you Andrew!

[@bryanotoole3038]

Would you say these questions are somewhat close in terms of format or difficulty? What other resources did you use? How did you know when you were ready?

[@Changemaker09]

Q 24. Thank for the stupendous effort put in Andrew. However, the incident response steps listed in both the CBK and OSG is Detection --> Response --> Mitigation --> Report --> Recovery --> Remediation --> Lessons learnt. Since we "detected" the incident, the next step is "Response" where we activate the IR team who determine how big of a delay in the incident, how long the impact, whether to declare disaster etc. Hence, I believe that A. "Identify the scope & Impact of the incident" should be the answer

[@jonathandavenport1172]

Totally agreed. How can you contain something if you don’t know the scope of it?

[@mikeytmpmikey]

I would have cancelled out the first option as this is a Distributed Dos not just a DoS. There is more than one source. Also, the wording is horrid. The question specifically says "during the mitigation stage" but then talks about detect and response. It seems to me the best answer is B.

[@Dy13yDx]

Agreed. This one is like the question 11 when it ask about the most important goal during DETECTION AND RESPONSE phase and his answer end up with Mitigating and restore? HELLO!!!!!!!!!! 😂😂 but sure his mindset will help a lot❤

[@vico100]

I agree. I have issues with q.11 and q.24

[@nyma11]

I came to the comments section to see what people thought of this question. I agree with @jonathandvenport1172 How can you contain something tht you dont know the scope of? Can anyone elaborate on this one?

[@gerryo25]

This is great information I'm studying now after taking my CYSA+ last month and taking my security+ years ago. I really have to focus on how the questions are asked because a lot of the information on the CYSA+ and Security+ is the exact information on the CISSP. Thank you for making this video!

Just passed a couple hours ago! I listened to this video hours before sitting for the exam and I want to thank you for all the advice. While these questions were much easier than the exam, the mindset was on point. I like your style more than any other instructor I have listened to.

[@nemanja.radojevic]

Taking a test in 5 days, these questions are really helpful to see a broader picture, although i have noticed that , when i tried to overthink and "Think like a manager" i have stopped being technical person, so i have answered wrongly.... Bottom line is, go with your guts, i would be more satisfied to make a mistake because of the inner feeling misguided me, than to try to overthink things, because it will be a disaster....

Hi Andrew - I want to thank you for this video on CISSP Mindset. I passed the CISSP today. Your video helped immensely.

I bought another course to prepare, but if I had to do it again I would choose this one.

This is good. I like the approach to eliminate two and the option to choose one over the other or the option that one can cover the other.

[@blue0296]

I passed my CISSP yesterday at just 100 questions in my first attempt. RIP to my peace of mind voucher 😂Your video was instrumental and I am extremely grateful to you sir! The trick about choosing the option that encompasses all the other options was 100% on point. For example, in one of my questions i hastily chose “gray box testing”. Thank goodness i read all the options because one of them was “penetration testing” and then suddenly all the other options fit into it. My tip to anyone reading this is to just watch this video and really know your concepts. Lastly, read the questions patiently. Dont rush. Good luck mates!
