Course Description
* Updated for the 2024 CISSP curriculum and 2023 exam registration process *
Welcome, I am Thor Pedersen, and I am here to help you pass your CISSP certification.
With over 790,000 enrollments from 209 countries, my CISSP, CISM, and Certified in Cybersecurity (CC) courses are both the “Best Selling” and “Highest Rated” here on Udemy.
In this course I will cover how to approach practice tests, how to deconstruct practice questions, time management, how to make your own CISSP study plan, and finally you get 125 HARD CISSP questions in a full CISSP practice test.
The questions on these tests have the same domain weight as the real CISSP exam questions does.
Getting your CISSP certification now is a very smart career move.
1. The CISSP certification is the gold standard for IT Security certifications.
2. There are more than 82,000 job openings for CISSPs in the US.
3. The average CISSP salary in the US is over USD150,000 a year.
What our other students are saying about my CISSP courses:
I passed the CISSP with the ISC Book and Thor's lectures and practice questions. Enough said! (Warren, 5-stars)
Hi Thor, I used your test and videos and passed the exam at first attempt. I scored your tests above 75% and real test was bit challenging than them. Thank you Shan (Shan, 5-stars)
I just passed my CISSP and used your question banks for study. All domains were covered and explanations on the questions were through. (John, 5-stars)
Of all the practice tests have paid for this one is the most helpful because it gave precise results so I am able to focus on the week points. I also appreciate how quickly Thor updated the test to reflect the new CAT style exam. (Kim, 5-stars)
This is my third course experience and Thor is my third instructor. I gave Thor a 5-star because of his knowledge, his grasp of English language, and his attitude. I love how Thor can explain complicated concepts clearly and make them easy to understand. I love how humble and polite his attitude is. I also like the fact that he is attentive and responsive to my questions. (Jin, 5-stars)
At the end of the test you will get an explanation for each question and explaining to why the right answer is the right answer.
You can see the total percentage score for the entire test as well as a weighted percent score for each of the 8 CISSP domains.
You can review each question and sort them by CISSP knowledge area, correct answers, wrong answers, skipped questions and questions marked for review.
The questions on these tests have the same domain weight as the real CISSP exam does.
Security and Risk Management – 20 questions
Asset Security – 13 questions
Security Engineering – 15 questions
Communications and Network Security – 15 questions
Identity and Access Management (IAM) – 16 questions
Security Assessment and Testing – 14 questions
Security Operations – 20 questions
Software Development Security – 12 questions
I recommend students to do 1,500-3,000 easy/mid CISSP practice questions and 1,000-1,500 HARD CISSP practice questions before the exam.
I only know of 3 hard CISSP practice sets: my own hard questions, Boson questions, and SNT. Wentz Wu also has hard questions on his CISSP blog, but not as full practice tests.
Do multiple CISSP certification practice tests like this one, do the full 3 hours and 100-150 questions to see how you handle it. This is as much mental stamina and reading the questions right and answering from an IT Security manager's point of view, as it is the actual knowledge.
You can take this CISSP certification practice test as many times as you want, the questions and the answer order is randomized.
On hard questions, you will score lower. It is normal to score 80%+ on easy/mid questions and 50-60% on hard questions.
The point of all questions is to find the gaps in your knowledge, learn how to deconstruct questions, argue WHY the answer you chose is the RIGHT answer in this scenario, making you ready for exam day.
Prepare for the 2026 version of the Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) Certification Exam.
You'll Also Get:
Lifetime Access to the course and all course updates.
30-days no questions asked, money back guarantee.

Question 53 : I cannot agree with answer "Access Cantrol" . If LEAST likely then answer should be "Routing Control" as network routing control has not much in common with confidentiality. Could you elaborate ?
By Asha Pathak on 6/8/2024
Although I scored only 49% on the 125-question set, I am thrilled to announce that I earned my CISSP provisional certificate today. Thank you, Thor, for your challenging question set. It really helped me develop the mindset required for CISSP.
By Mila Popova on 3/5/2024
In my humble opinion, the practice test could be improved, at times felt overengineered. After running a 2+ hour test, to me at least, it overwhelming reading all the lengthy explanations, which are quite ambiguous and not always coherent. It made me a bit disappointed that those are generated by Thor bot, not Thor or a human expert. I typically avoid ChatGPT or any AI explanations, because context is important. I have provisionally passed my CISSP exam - aced my exam at q125 and perhaps these hard questions prepared me to deconstruct questions better. Sometimes I was conflicted with some of the suggested explanations. Maybe that's a good sign for exam readiness :) May I suggest to reference to CISSP OSG page in the explanations? I think this will add value and will greatly improve the accuracy of the explanations.

This practice exam will make you doubt yourself and your knowledge. In addition to this it makes you nervous. Thor, if you want to see what the difficult practice exam is like, I suggest you check out Gwen Bettwy's CISSP mock exam questions!
By Kevin Troell on 2/22/2024
It is hard find good quality and deep questions that are similar to the CISSP. This exam is very challenging and will help you develop a critical mindset for the exam. It will also help you know whether you know the concepts well enough to pass.
By Anonymized User on 12/2/2023
many questions are not formulated in undertandable english, taking me more time to understand the question than on other tests, feel this test if about me figuring out english than testing my actual knowledge of CISSP.
By Herbert Marco on 11/5/2023
Passed cissp, finally got the "you have provision passed.. " clause on paper. Leap for joy and Thanks to Thor's course/ bootcamp and Practice Exams.. I did the Learnzapp tests too. Hope to see corrections and improvements to some of the questions.

Hi Thor, I must thank you 2^128 times via IPV6 :). yesterday i just passed CISSP exam, I have gone through all your boot camps and practised many of the questions. this gave me a way to analyse questions and answer it in the presurred environment. your practise test gave lot of clarity on many concepts and subtle difference between identical concepts. this helped me in solving many exam questions. Thanks to Udemy who made your course avaiable at affordable prices. you are my Guru
By Robert Żegleń on 6/1/2022
Thor's videos, his pdf printouts and his question bundles were my primary source of knowledge/study for the exam which I have just passed. Contact through discord was great. Of course I supplemented hist materials with one other complete video and ISC2 questions bank
By Milton Fowler on 3/30/2022
Quite good! Understanding the need to deconstruct the questions is very helpful. Many of the questions will not be definition type questions.
