Hello all.

Not sure if this has been asked or not. I've been in IT for 15 ish years doing mostly sysadmin for my day job and infosec for a hobby. I have low key been reading for the CISSP material for 7 years but really bored down with the big crayon this last year. My question is how do you know you are ready to take the test? I have always had test anxiety and the last IT cert I passed I felt I needed to study more but my ex-wife forced me to take it and I passed.

I am scoring about 80 percent on the Boson tests and about 75-80 on the official test questions prep book. I am currently doing another chapter-by-chapter review of all the questions I missed on the official test but I don't feel ready. Partly because of all the people here saying they felt like they were failing the entire test and partly because of my mediocre scores on the practice exams... I want to do this at a C-suite level and feel it is important to understand these concepts but alot of it appears referential and more important to know about than to memorize but I digress,,,

When did you decide you were ready?
