A big thank you to the community here for helping me select the right resources, inspire and pass the CCSP exam. Personally, I didn't find the exam to be very difficult than CISSP, and it has a good mix of technical and managerial-broader mindset questions.

Resources I have used

• The OSG - cover to cover - 2 times
• The CBK - cover to cover - mainly to fill knowledge gaps and concepts not available in the OSG

And honestly these two were enough to cover all the topics for the exam. Additionally, I relied on

• The ccsp exam cram for few domains https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7XJSuT7Dq_X0AupQwU8YOGV3TsoPAcD0
• The Gemini 3.1 Pro, in instructor mode - Found it to be the best(than GPT, Claude) to deep dive into certain topics and find exam traps.

Practice questions

• The ones I found very close and relevant to exam
  • OSG practice tests ~ 850 questions
  • Boson ~ 375 questions
• To memorize terms 
  • Pocket prep ~ did around 800 questions
• To develop a broad and managerial mindset
  • Dest cert ~ did around 500 questions

Please note that from 1^(st) August the exam outline is being changed. Take a look at the ISC2 notice.

Good luck 🙂
