[Cisspstudy] CCCure Quizzer

Wed Jun 24 10:01:41 EDT 2009

Good day Ali and All,

This is a great tip that I strongly recommend in all of my classes and also
in my very detailed flash presentation on how to become a CISSP (Two hours
in length).

I always recommend that you walk through the whole exam once as a starter.
Answer all the questions that you know for sure first.  If you ran into a
question you DON'T KNOW  just skip that question and go to the next.  By
doing this you will most likely answer 50% of the questions knowing they
have the right answer.  This will build your confidence and as you walk
through you will also find answers to previous questions you could not
answer.

After walking through once, go back and start at the beginning again.   This
time pay very careful attention to the question, read it completely,  do
eliminate the choices that do not make sense.  In most case you should be
able to bring it down to two choices, you must find the BEST of the two
choices.

As it was also mentioned in the thread, do time yourself carefully, never
waste minutes on a single question, if you have difficulty mark it for later
review.

Best of luck

Clement
