Cissp Exam overview:
What does the CISSP examination consist of?
The CISSP exam is a 250 question English language examination. Two hundred and twenty-five of the questions are scored. The remaining twenty-five are unscored pre-tested questions. Candidates are given 6 hours to complete the exam although most complete it in about 4 hours.
Are there different versions for each country?
No, the test is based on Internationally accepted information security standards and practices. There are no country specific questions or language. The same English language version is given throughout the world.
What do the questions cover?
Examination questions cover all ten domains in the Common Body of Knowledge (CBK). Questions are "scrambled" on the examination, they are not presented in domain order. The domains are:
1. Access Control Systems and Methodology
2. Telecommunications and Networking Security
3. Security Management Practices
4. Application and Systems Development Security
5. Cryptography
6. Security Architecture and Models
7. Operations Security
8. Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Planning
9. Law, Investigation and Ethics
10. Physical Security
Are the pre-test questions identified?
No. They are scrambled into the examination along with the scored items.
What type of questions are there?
All test questions are multiple choice with four possible answers. They are designed to test a candidate's knowledge of information security facts and concepts and their application.
How hard is the examination?
The examination tests the expected knowledge a 3-5 year practitioner should have. It is designed to test for the minimum level of competency acceptable for someone to be certified as an information systems security professional. A knowledgeable candidate should not find the examination difficult.
If the examination isn't particularly difficult, why don't more people pass it?
What makes the examination difficult is the expansive knowledge base it covers. It's difficult to develop expertise in all ten domains.
Are the questions in the Study Guide really representative of examination questions?
The study guide questions are good examples of the format and type of questions you would see on the exam but are not necessarily representative of the difficulty.
Which domains are the hardest?
The domains that are not commonly used in every day security management such as cryptography, system architecture, and physical security usually score the lowest.
How current is the examination?
Each year between 100 and 150 new questions are added to the question pool, many are based on new security technologies. You can expect to find questions on current technologies, practices and standards.
Are there questions on NT or UNIX?
The CISSP examination is not vendor or commercial product specific. There are questions on the security models and methodologies used by these systems but only security products that are commonly used and freely available (i.e., SATAN) are acceptable for examination questions.
What's the passing score?
There is no fixed passing score for the examination. The cut score for each examination is calculated by equating the scoring values associated with each question. Passing rates estimated to be in the 70% to 80% range. Less than 8% of those tested achieve scores higher than 85%.
How detailed are the questions, what depth of knowledge is being tested?
The CISSP examination is designed to evaluate the ability of a security manager, engineer or architect to properly evaluate, select, deploy and assess security measures. A candidate should have a detailed enough knowledge of security designs, measures, vulnerabilities, etc. to successfully accomplish these tasks.
