First, the questions seemed pretty ?picky? with specific details that are sometimes not even found in the study guide itself. I am concerned that these types of questions may not be representative to the questions I will get on the CISSP exam. Second, some of the answers in the Transcender software are down right wrong. I found three wrong answers in the first 100 questions.
