The path to the Development of cissp (4): How to obtain cissp certification (2

Previous Article 《 How to obtain cissp certification (1)", J0ker introduced the conditions for becoming a cissp and the registration process for the cissp exam. Next, j0ker will first introduce the implementation of the cissp examination and the procedures after passing the examination, and then use the Article 10 to detail the preparation for the cissp examination that readers are most concerned about.
In this article, you can learn about the problems that must be paid attention to in the preparation and examination of the cissp examination:
Food, housing, and travel before the exam
The cissp test is only available in Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou. Many foreign candidates often take the cissp test. Therefore, traffic problems must be considered before taking the cissp test, this issue also needs to be considered for local candidates. Take the cissp test held in Shanghai by j0ker as an example. the test room is located at Shanghai Jiao Tong University Information Security College in Zhangjiang Hi-Tech, Pudong. from the city to the test room, you need to take the subway to the terminal, after you get off the subway, you need to change to a district/county bus. It takes about one and a half hours. The cissp test starts from nine o'clock A.M. and starts before half past eight. That is to say, if you leave the test room in the city, the examinee will get up after, then, you have to rush to the test room, which easily affects the examination status. Of course, it is very convenient if you have a car on your own. A better choice is to find a place around the test room in advance, so that the candidates do not need to get up so early the next morning, it is more beneficial to maintain the test status.
Speaking of the cissp exam's accommodation and behavior problems, food problems are also very important. If you choose to stay around the test site, you have to consider whether it is convenient to eat at night, what to eat for breakfast before the next day. Take the Shanghai test site as an example. Because Zhangjiang Gaoke is a hi-tech industrial park, supermarkets and restaurants are available only around the subway station, and breakfast is very short the next morning, therefore, j0ker purchased the bread and milk before breakfast. In addition, because the cissp test took a long time, from nine o'clock A.M. to three o'clock P.M., the examinee had to prepare drinks and food. Although the cissp examination promises that the examinee will leave the seat to the back of the test room to eat, but the small size, will not pollute the exam food is promised to eat in the seat, it is recommended that you prepare chocolate, dried meat, and other foods. You can continue to consider questions on the exam while eating, without wasting valuable time on answering questions. As for drinks, it depends on the taste of each person. We recommend a lighter tea drink or water, which can both quench your thirst and improve your performance slightly.
Candidates also need to carry the most important exam materials:
Registration confirmation and admission letter provided by (ISC) 2. Candidates register for the exam on site (ISC) 2 and confirm after (ISC) 2 (ISC) the two materials will be provided via e-mail, and the candidates will print them and sign their names.
The examinee must carry his/her photo ID document with him/her (ISC) 2 approved to have an ID card or driver's license with him/her. If no such materials are available, the examinee will not agree to take the test. In addition, it is best for the examinee to prepare two more 2B pencils (the test room will also provide, (ISC) Two 2B pencils... However, it is always good for you to prepare your own documents. There is also a soft rubber and an English-Chinese dictionary. (ISC) 2 indicates that non-English-speaking students can use the dictionary, however, a dictionary can only be used for word-to-word translation. It does not promise to use electronic dictionary tools, such as Oxford.
Prepare the materials and items used for the exam. After you plan your trip to the test room, you can relax. In the end, the cissp test is just an ordinary test. You don't need to be nervous about it. However, being nervous affects the test status. You can go to bed early at night before the exam. You can take a look at the exam reference materials to relieve your nervousness. j0ker recommends you to take a look at the quick tips after each chapter in cissp all in one, the key knowledge points in each CBK of cissp can be reviewed, and the quantity is not too large. Alternatively, you can perform some exercises to find out how the exam is done.
The cissp test starts at nine o'clock A.M.. You need to go to the test room before half past eight. after entering the site, you can find a place to put your items down, take a rest, or go to the bathroom.
J0ker took the cissp Shanghai examination at the time as follows:
The Shanghai test room is located in a classroom at Shanghai Jiao Tong University Security College. j0ker was present at 08:10. At that time, the examiner did not come yet. More than 10 candidates were chatting or reading their own materials.
At 08:20, the two examiners entered the site and looked like Shanghai Jiao Tong University Teachers (or cissp volunteers who participated in invigilation). All the candidates were present before 08:30.
From 08:30 to 50, the examiner checks the examinee's creden, (ISC) 2 provides the materials, and arranges seats for the examinee according to the previously arranged seats. The examinee signs in. One small accident occurred. One candidate never received admission letter, but the person in charge of (ISC) 2 (ISC) Asia region Liaison Service (ISC) 2 Hong Kong has changed to the person in charge, and he has never been able to contact him, no admission letter can be obtained, but the examinee can solve the problem after communicating with the examiner. The examiner's name and examination number are in the list. The examinee can take the examination after obtaining the examination number. If a friend encounters such a problem when taking the cissp test, he can try to communicate with the examiner and solve it in general.
At 08:50, the examiner will distribute the examination papers and answer cards, and the examinee will be able to fill in the examination number, examination number, address and other information according to the instructions on the examination paper, and sign the examination confidentiality agreement. One examiner reads out the exam in Chinese and English, and the other examiner performs inspections to help the examinee solve the problem of filling in the exam information. The examinee should pay special attention to the filling of the exam information. If it is wrong, the score will not be obtained.
At nine o'clock A.M., when the cissp test starts, the examinee can open the test paper and confirm that the examinee agrees to the confidentiality agreement and test code of (ISC) 2. If the examinee does not agree, do not open and return the exam to the examiner (however, j0ker has never heard of anyone doing this ). There are more than 30 pages and 250 questions in the exam, all of which are single-choice questions. The question type has one question, and the scenario questions usually have three to five questions, the examinee needs to consider how to complete 250 questions within 6 hours, because the score is not deducted if the exam is wrong, so do not leave it blank even if you do not understand the exam.
J0ker was like this at the time, because the entry status was slow at the beginning of the test, so j0ker used to do the question based on his own feeling and experience for the first time, and try to think less about a certain question as much as possible, therefore, j0ker roughly finished the question in two hours and 15 minutes (the answer can be first written on the exam, but only applied to the answer card ), some questions cannot be answered at the moment. After, I drank some black tea and got some chocolate. Then I took a rest and began to check carefully and fill in the answer sheet, during the check, j0ker changed a total of 35 questions. Many of them chose one of the two answers. If they were not very confident, they kept the original answer. The process of checking and filling out the question is quite slow. It takes about three hours to finish about 200 questions, and the remaining 50 questions will be checked in a hurry and filled in the answer sheet. In this case, j0ker estimated that it would take about five hours to finish the exam. It would take about half an hour to fill out the answer on the answer sheet, therefore, candidates must grasp the time.
There is another issue that you may be concerned about. In fact, the cissp test does not limit the number of times you go to the bathroom in the middle. However, you can only go to one person at a time, and you also need to sign in and sign out when you exit the test room, in order to save valuable test time, it is best for the examinee to control the amount of water to drink.
