ISC2 CISSP questions people ask

Up to 125 questions in 180 minutes. The exact number varies between test forms, which is why the objectives say "up to" rather than giving a fixed count.

The English exam uses computerized adaptive testing: between 100 and 150 questions in three hours, and once you submit an answer you cannot revisit it. The pass mark is a scaled score of 700 on ISC2's 1,000-point scale; because question difficulty adapts to your answers, the raw number correct needed varies by form.

You can sit the exam at any time. Full certification requires five years of cumulative paid work experience in at least two of the eight CISSP domains, and one year can be waived with an approved four-year degree or another approved credential. If you pass before you have the experience, you become an Associate of ISC2 and have up to six years to complete it.

CISSP is broader and more technical: eight domains spanning architecture, engineering and operations alongside governance and risk. CISM is narrower and entirely management-focused. Someone from a hands-on technical background usually finds CISSP the more natural fit; a security manager without deep technical roots often finds CISM's framing easier.

No, and be wary of any site that claims otherwise. Every question here is written from scratch against the published exam objectives. Sitting an exam having memorised leaked live questions breaks the non-disclosure agreement you accept at the test centre and can get your certification revoked.
