Overview:
The first thing most people hear about the CISSP examination is how difficult or unfair the questions are. Although this may be a good warning, it does not begin to prepare you to do well on the exam itself. For some of the CISSP exam questions, just knowing the facts is not enough. These questions are referred to as "hard questions". This paper examines seven types of hard questions you are likely to see on the CISSP examination and the best approaches for solving them.

Throughout the CISSP preparation course offered by Global Knowledge, we cover the various security mechanisms, principles, concepts, and facts that will be included on the CISSP exam. A large portion of the CISSP examination will test your knowledge of these aspects. However, the mere knowledge of these aspects does not prepare you for the more difficult questions you may see on the CISSP examination. This is why the Global
Knowledge CISSP preparation class is not limited to a review of the information security mechanisms, principles, concepts, and facts. A significant portion of the course is devoted to study skills, memorization techniques, application of concepts, and principles. Although it is impossible to predict exactly what questions you
may get on the exam, we have classified the difficult questions into seven categories and given examples and approaches for identifying and overcoming them.
