Know the CAT format before you start the three-hour clock
ISC2 uses Computerized Adaptive Testing for CISSP. The live exam runs for up to three hours and ends after 100 to 150 items. These practice tests use a fixed 100-question form so your results stay comparable from one paper to the next.
| Delivery | Computerized Adaptive Testing (CAT) |
| Exam length | 3 hours |
| Number of items | 100–150 |
| Item format | Multiple choice and advanced item types |
| Passing grade | 700 out of 1000 points |
| Domains | 8 |
| Languages | Chinese, English, German, Japanese, Spanish |
| U.S. exam fee | $749 |
Written to the current CISSP outline
The question bank follows the CISSP Exam Outline effective April 15, 2024. Domain 1 carries the most weight at 16%. Asset Security and Software Development Security sit at 10% each. The other five domains fall between 12% and 13%.
CISSP questions reward judgment. A technically possible answer can still be wrong because it ignores governance, business impact, authorization, lifecycle stage or the actual risk in front of you. The practice bank is built around that choice between several plausible actions.
The live exam adapts question by question. These practice tests keep the form at 100 questions, with the clock and domain distribution held steady from one paper to the next. That gives you a cleaner benchmark for tracking progress.
Three hours changes the way you answer
A short quiz tells you whether you know a topic. A 100-question paper shows whether your judgment still holds when the obvious answer has looked tempting for two hours straight.
How each paper is built
- 100 questions in the same fixed form length every time
- All eight domains at 16 / 10 / 13 / 13 / 13 / 12 / 13 / 10
- Scenario-led questions built around BEST, MOST, FIRST and GREATEST decisions
- Clearly marked two-answer questions are included
Under the clock
- 180-minute countdown
- Automatic submission when the timer reaches zero
- Flag questions and return to them before submitting
- Leaving the test tab is recorded; three focus losses submit the attempt
What the result tells you
- Estimated score on a 0–1000 practice scale
- 700 used as the passing benchmark
- Breakdown across all eight CISSP domains
- Use the weakest domain to choose the next revision block
Two answers can both be right. The job is choosing the two that fit the requirement.
This is the kind of distinction CISSP leans on: internal assurance from source review, and external assurance from the running application. Neither replaces the other.
A development team wants complementary assurance for a high-value application with complex business-logic authorization. Source code is available, and management also wants to know whether a realistic user can chain logic flaws through the running application. Which TWO assessment activities BEST meet these goals?
- AReview only operating-system patch age because host currency demonstrates application authorization correctness
- BCount completed developer training modules without examining the application or its behavior
- CPerform a threat-informed manual secure code review focused on authorization and trust decisions
- DConduct an authorized application penetration test that exercises business workflows and attempts to chain logic flaws
Why C and D
Manual code review can inspect security-sensitive authorization logic in the implementation. An application penetration test looks at how weaknesses combine through real workflows. Together they give internal and behavioral evidence against the two goals in the stem.
Why A is tempting but wrong
Host patch status is useful infrastructure evidence. It does not establish that the application's business-logic authorization is correct, which is the deciding requirement here.
Both selected answers must be correct for a two-answer item to score.
Every 100-question paper uses the current CISSP weighting
The fixed form makes the official percentages concrete. Sixteen questions go to Security and Risk Management. Ten each go to Asset Security and Software Development Security. The other domains sit between twelve and thirteen questions.
| Domain | ISC2 weight | Questions per test |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Security and Risk Management | 16% | 16 |
| 2. Asset Security | 10% | 10 |
| 3. Security Architecture and Engineering | 13% | 13 |
| 4. Communication and Network Security | 13% | 13 |
| 5. Identity and Access Management (IAM) | 13% | 13 |
| 6. Security Assessment and Testing | 12% | 12 |
| 7. Security Operations | 13% | 13 |
| 8. Software Development Security | 10% | 10 |

About the CISSP exam and these practice tests
The CISSP exam
How many questions are on the CISSP exam?
The CISSP exam uses Computerized Adaptive Testing and contains between 100 and 150 items. The maximum testing time is three hours.
What score do you need to pass CISSP?
ISC2 sets the passing grade at 700 out of 1000 points. That is a scaled standard, not a statement that 70% of questions must be correct.
How much does the CISSP exam cost?
The standard CISSP registration fee is $749 in the United States and Asia Pacific. ISC2 lists region-specific GBP and EUR pricing for the United Kingdom and EMEA.
What experience is required for CISSP?
You need five years of cumulative full-time experience in at least two of the eight CISSP domains. One year can be waived with an eligible post-secondary degree or an approved credential. If you pass before meeting the experience requirement, you can become an Associate of ISC2 and have up to six years to complete the required experience.
If I fail CISSP, when can I retake it?
After the first attempt, the wait is 30 test-free days. After the second, it is 60 days from the most recent attempt. After the third and later attempts, the wait is 90 days. ISC2 allows up to four attempts for the certification within a 12-month period.
How do I maintain CISSP after certification?
CISSP requires 120 CPE credits over each three-year certification cycle. ISC2 members holding CISSP pay a $135 annual maintenance fee.
These practice tests
Why does each practice test use 100 questions?
One hundred is the minimum item count on the current CISSP CAT exam. Keeping every practice paper at 100 questions also gives you a consistent three-hour benchmark for comparing one attempt with the next.
How many questions are in each full-length practice test?
100 questions with a 180-minute limit. The pack of five contains 500 questions in total, and the pack of ten contains 1,000.
Do the practice tests include questions with two correct answers?
Yes. Two-answer questions are clearly marked. Both required answers must be selected for the item to score.
How is the practice result shown?
Each attempt gives you an estimated score on a 0–1000 practice scale, using 700 as the benchmark, plus a breakdown across the eight CISSP domains.
What happens when the timer reaches zero?
The practice test submits automatically and scores the answers already recorded. You can flag questions and return to them before you submit.
What happens if I switch away from the test tab?
Focus losses are recorded during an attempt. After three, the test submits automatically.
Are all ten tests built to the same domain distribution?
Yes. Every 100-question paper uses 16 questions for Security and Risk Management, 10 for Asset Security, 13 each for Security Architecture and Engineering, Communication and Network Security, Identity and Access Management, and Security Operations, 12 for Security Assessment and Testing, and 10 for Software Development Security.
