I just took mine last Saturday and it was just as stated below. Take a
jacket with you ? I was lucky enough to sit under the one AC vent in the
testing room, thought I was lucky until I all but lost feeling in my body ½
hour into the test..
I know that they say test results will be emailed (pass or fail (fail with
lacking areas?)) in 4 ? 6 weeks, how long did it take to receive a response
for those of you here who have already taken it? In my world, nothing takes
that long, but you never know!
Thanks everyone!
Rob

Subject: RE: [CISSP-D] Some Questions About the CISSP Examination
I have some questions about the CISSP certification examination. I hope
somebody would care answering;
1- I have read from the website that it is a six hour test with 250
questions. The test is paper based.
Is there any break within this six hour period? Is there no computer
based test for this?
A. There was no computer based test when I took it. People could be
escorted one at a time to the rest rooms. Otherwise no break.
2- Is there any laboratory examination or just a paper test only?
A. Paper, no lab.
3- For how long is this certification valid? Do I need to keep taking
the test every couple of years to keep the certification?
A. Three years. You don't need to retake if you get enough CPEs. See the
www.isc2.org site for details on CPEs. If you don't have sufficient
CPEs, you can retake the test.
4- From the exam locator on isc2 website, country name Pakistan is not
in the list! Do I have to travel to another country to take the test? No
alternative to take the test in my own country?
A. The sites listed are the sites available. Sometimes some are added,
so keep checking. Also, you could contact ISC2.org to find out if there
will be a test in Pakistan.
