The CISSP Exam is demanding, but if you’ve worked your way through the Common Body of Knowledge and know your stuff when it comes to areas such as network security and disaster recovery, you should do fine — as long as you also take the following CISSP Exam Test Day Tips to heart:.
Get a Good Night’s Rest. The night before the exam isn’t the time to do any last-minute cramming. Getting a good night’s rest is essential.
Dress Comfortably (and Appropriately). You should dress in attire that’s comfortable — remember, this is a six-hour exam. Be sure to dress appropriately because some test locations might have specific dress requirements, such as business casual.
Eat a Good Breakfast. Even if you’re not a breakfast person, try to get something down before the exam. No extra time is allotted for lunch breaks, so plan on eating a good, healthy, hearty breakfast.
Arrive Early. Absolutely, under no circumstances, do you want to arrive late for this exam. Make sure that you know where the exam site is located, what the traffic is like at that time of the day, and where you can park. The doors to the testing site generally open at 8:00 a.m. for registration. At 8:30 a.m., the exam proctor provides a brief introduction, including break rules and restroom locations, and instructions for filling out the answer sheets. The exam begins at approximately 9:00 a.m.
Bring Your Registration Letter and ID. After you register online, (ISC)2 e-mails you a confirmation letter. Print the e-mail and the confirmation letter, and bring both with you to the exam. You also need to bring your driver’s license, government-issued ID, or passport — these are the only forms of ID that are accepted.
Bring Snacks and Drinks. Some test centers provide coffee, sodas, pastries, and light snacks . . . but don’t count on it. Bring a small bag that holds enough food and drink to get you through the entire exam.
Bring Prescription or Over-the-Counter Medications. If you’re taking any prescription medication, bring it with you. Also, consider bringing some basic over-the-counter meds, such as acetaminophen or antacids, to eliminate any annoying inconveniences such as a headache or heartburn.
Bring Extra Pencils and a BIG Eraser. (ISC)2 provides neat little pre-sharpened No. 2 pencils for the exam, but you should also bring a few of your own pre-sharpened No. 2 pencils — and a big eraser!
Leave Your Cell Phone, Pager, PDA, and Digital Watch Behind. Turn off your cell phones, pagers, PDAs, digital watch alarms, and anything else that goes beep.
Take Frequent Breaks. Six hours is a long time. Be sure to get up and walk around during the exam. We recommend taking a short, five-minute break every hour during the exam. Eat a snack, go to the restroom, walk around, stretch, or whatever . . . then get back to the task at hand.
