This is not how I did it and I even proctored the test for 2 years after I
passed it.
This is how I did it.
1) There are some questions that you instantly know the answer for, answer
these asap.
2) Skip like crazy.
3) I completed about 130 questions in 1 hour. Move fast.
4) At the 2 1/2 point, take a break. Eat something.
5) Save the most difficult questions until the last and answer the quickly. No
more than 1 minute per question.
6) I never went back to a question: I answered it and then did not change it.
I took the test twice and I can honestly say that either you know it, or you do
not. I have seen other candidates panic and sit there and just wonder which
one is right and they get tired and nearly melt in their seats. That is not
good. When I passed it, I did so in 3 1/2 with a 1/2 hour break for food and
refreshments. You should be eager to pass and really want to battle it. If
not, then I think you need to study more.

Hi,
I have thought of a plan to tackle the CISSP Exam. Please take a look.
1. Do not skip questions. For questions which one is unsure shade the
best answer u think at that time. Put a question at the side of the
question number or write down the question number to signify that the
question is in doubt and the need to review it later. My point is
that if one does skip questions, there is always the probability of
shading wrongly. It will be disasterous should one find out after the
250th question.
2. Double tick the answer one have chosen on the question paper. This
is a backup to enable the ease of checking once the candidate has
completed before the due time.
3. If completed ahead of time, check and recheck. No point leaving
the examination hall early. One had paid a substantial amount of cash
to take the exam. Utilize the full six hours (Enjoy the aircon :) )
4. 250 questions in 6hrs comes to 1.5 mins per question. Pace
yourself to that timeline. Never exceed uneccessarily.
5. If there comes a question with contradicting/similar answers. The
correct answer normally is the one which I thought of the first . Its
about the first impression is always the right one. In conclusion, if
you can't decide, rely on frist impressions. Maybe its me. But I find
this particularly effective. The mind worked in a way that, the more
you think of a problem. The more in doubt you are.
6. Use elimination methods. Weed out answers which are definitely
incorrect.
That's that. Will think of more on the way.
