CISSP Mock Exams: Master All 8 Domains [April 24 Refresh]
Description
Why I created these mock exams
Over the years, I have helped thousands of students prepare for cybersecurity certification exams. Before they spend their hard-earned money on the CISSP exam, I always advise them to solve plenty of multiple-choice questions first. Being able to answer practice questions easily and quickly can demonstrate a strong understanding of concepts, a key trait that helps students ace the CISSP exam.
However, simply solving questions from a variety of sources won’t cut it. For your preparation to be effective, the practice questions must be well-written, challenging, and must test your understanding of concepts at a deeper level. And those are the type of practice questions you’ll find in these mock exams.
What’s new
I’ve updated the weightages of the mock exams based on the latest CISSP Exam Refresh that came into effect April 15, 2024. The weightages for the mock exam have been updated as follows:
Security and Risk Management: 16%
Asset Security: 10%
Security Architecture and Engineering: 13%
Communication and Network Security: 13%
Identity and Access Management (IAM): 13%
Security Assessment and Testing: 12%
Security Operations: 13%
Software Development Security: 10%
What’s Included
Designed to help you ace the CISSP CAT exam, you’ll find two comprehensive mock exams, each containing 175 questions. Each mock exam covers all 8 domains with average weights similar to the CAT exam.
Since the weights for the CAT and Linear exams are similar, these mock exams will help you prepare for both formats.
In addition to the mock exams, you will also find two “Rapid Review Sets” designed to help you practice when you don’t have enough time to attempt a full mock exam, which takes around 6-7 hours to complete.
What Makes These Mock Exams Different
These CISSP mock exams stand apart from the competition for their meticulous breakdown of questions according to exam weightage. Each question is carefully categorized according to the correct domains specified in the CISSP exam guidelines, ensuring a comprehensive and accurate representation of the exam.
What Makes These Questions Different
I’ve worked closely with Packt to ensure each question meets the same rigorous quality standards as all of Packt Publishing’s books and courses. Moreover, most of these questions include a unique scenario that tests your understanding of CISSP concepts rather than just checking your knowledge of definitions. Here’s an example question from the mock exam:
A contractor was brought in to develop a banking application. They are aware that some clients may attempt to withdraw money in excess of that which exists in their accounts. As a security measure, they enforce a code to secure the application. Which type of software testing can they apply to be sure that the application is secure?
Who this course is for:
- Anyone preparing for the CISSP exam
- Cybersecurity enthusiasts and professionals looking to test their IT security knowledge
- CISSP-certified professionals looking to renew their certification following the latest April 2024 exam update
- Cybersecurity professionals looking to update their IT security knowledge

Hi! I am Gwen Bettwy
CISSP-ISSAP, ISSMP, CCSP, CISM, SSCP,
I have been traveling and teaching around the world since 1994. I began teaching Information Security in 2003 for (ISC)2. I have averaged about 2 courses a month since 1994. I began my career at Sprint which has helped me prepare for CCSPs cloud provider view.
Most of the courses I have taught since 2003 has been CISSP, although CISM, CISA, SSCP, and CGEIT have been sprinkled through there. I began teaching CCSP in 2017, since the exam was not launched until 2015.
I have a proven track record in the classroom of guiding students through information security concepts through to certification!
