CCCure was such a great resource in preparation for the CISSP. I passed and was prepared partly because of the questions that I was exposed to on CCCure.

I passed the actual exam today. Couldn't be happier to get that garbage test out of the way. I used this as my primary source of learning the material and it obviously works.

I took the CISSP for the first time yesterday and passed with the (new) minimum number of questions (125). The cccure practice questions were a great way to prep. At the time, I thought some of the questions were a bit dodgy and maybe the answers were a bit iffy. But, wow, that is how MOST of the exam questions were too! Definitely a great tool to have in your belt as you prepare for the exam.

This helped me improve in focused areas, and also gain confidence in my overall test taking aptitude. I practiced until I had seen all the available practice questions and was consistently in the 80%-90% range. I passed the CISSP on my first try. I saw approximately 130 questions, and took ~ 2.5 hours to finish the exam. The CCCure questions are on target as far as testing both general, and ve...

Passed my CISSP on 5/31/2022. Went through the whole 150 questions like a champ but was very nervous about it. I attend a couple of boot camps offered by my job and used cccure and boson exams engine to study. Initially I was making the mistake of not taking the time to understand the ask of each question. After several practice exams I finally got a grip on the nature of how the questions are asked. The CISSP is mostly scenario based questions and the practice exams helps in training the mind in understand the scenarios. Materials Used: CCCURE test engine Boson Test engines 11th hour M...
