There are many ways to improve your chances of passing the CISSP exam. Some of them, like studying and practicing, is obvious. Others aren’t so clear-cut but can still help you improve your chances of passing the test on the first try. Here are seven secret techniques for improving your chances:

Complete a checklist before taking the next step

• Create a checklist for each task.

The most important thing you can do before starting any task is to create a checklist of the things that have to be done, and in what order they have to be done. This will allow you to focus on the task at hand without getting distracted by other things. If there are specific items that have to be done in a certain order, then it’s even more important that they’re listed on your checklist!

• Review your checklist before starting the task

This step will help make sure everything gets taken care of as needed so that nothing falls through the cracks or gets forgotten about until later on down the road when it might get harder or impossible for us to do anything about it anymore (eek!). It’s also good practice because this way we’ll notice anything missing from our lists which could lead us down another rabbit hole if left alone long enough…

Look at the process, not the result

The next thing to remember is that the journey is the destination. You will struggle, you will learn and grow, and you will be challenged to your core. But it’s not about the test result; it’s about how you got there. That’s why studying for a cissp certification exam is different from studying for any other type of exam: There’s no right or wrong answer, just a process by which to arrive at a conclusion that fits within certain parameters of what makes sense based on what we know as humans who have studied this material before us.

Simulate the exam

• Take a practice test: Although you can’t take the actual exam until you have passed the course and met all of its requirements, you can still simulate what it will be like by taking practice exams. These practice tests are meant to mirror the actual exam as closely as possible. They are composed of questions that have been used in the past on other exams, so they give you an idea of what to expect and how to prepare for your test day.
• Take a practice exam: Another way to simulate taking the CISSP certification is through online resources that offer free or paid sample questions from previous exams. These sample tests provide yet another opportunity for you to see how these types of questions work so that when it comes time for your real exam, it won’t seem unfamiliar or foreign at all!

Get other people’s opinions

You should also ask for help from your instructor. This can be done in the form of asking questions during class or emailing him/her after class to clarify something. If you are having trouble understanding a specific topic, ask the instructor to explain it better and give you examples of what he/she is talking about.

Another option is to email other students who are taking this course with you, as well as peers and classmates who have taken this course before. You can find them on social media sites like Facebook and LinkedIn or contact them via phone calls (if they’re not too busy), emails (if they’re not too busy), and text messages (if they don’t mind talking via instant messaging software)…etc!

Keep your concentration

When you’re studying for a course, it’s all too easy to lose focus and start feeling overwhelmed. The key is to keep your concentration on the task at hand—and not get distracted by other things. If you lose your concentration, take a break from the material and come back later when you’re fresh again. Here are 2 ways to stay focused:

• Don’t spend too long on one question or topic. If it takes more than 15 minutes for a question, it probably needs to be broken down into smaller parts before tackling them together (or even individually).
• Don’t spend too long on one chapter or section of your coursebook. Make sure that as soon as you finish reading each topic in detail, you move on to another one so that none of them feel overwhelmed.

Learn from mistakes, your own and others

• Learn from your own mistakes. No one’s perfect, and you’re not expected to be either. We all make mistakes; it’s just a part of life. The important thing is that we learn from them and don’t repeat our errors!
• Learn from the mistakes of others. There are plenty of people out there who have failed the CISSP exam (and many more who will fail in the future), so why not take advantage of their experiences? You might be surprised at what you can learn from other people’s misfortunes, so don’t hesitate to ask someone who has taken this test before for advice on how they prepared for it or what areas they struggled with most during their studies.
• Learn from experience-based scorecards and reports found online that compare candidates’ answers against those provided by experts and other evidence about how well these answers were received by exam reviewers over time.

Take breaks

Taking a break is important, especially when you are studying. You need to give your brain some time to absorb what it has learned and let the information sink deep into your mind. Taking breaks will help you achieve this goal better than just rushing through the course material without stopping for a breath of fresh air or water.

How should I take a break?

It’s easy: take five minutes every hour to walk around and stretch, or even just stand up from your chair or bed! In addition, make sure that you take at least one break per day where you go outside for at least fifteen minutes (or if it’s cold outside). This gives your eyes time away from screens as well as allows them some rest after staring at screens all day long; plus there’s nothing quite like fresh air for clearing away cobwebs!

Final words

So, if you’re going to take the CISSP exam, follow 2 tips to make sure that you do it right. First of all, don’t rush yourself into taking the test too soon after beginning your studies. Take some time to plan out your study schedule and follow through with it! Second of all, make sure that you use the right study materials to help prepare yourself for the exam.
