CISSP Flashcards Pro 4+

I used the free practice questions and then decided to unlock the full version. There are many good resources out there and not all are easy to use on the go like this app.

The way the questions are worded and the given scenarios prepared me for the exam. These are not the typical questions where you can spot the correct answer, these questions made me think from a broader perspective.

The only advice I offer the creator would be to include explanations for all correct and incorrect choices, as this would immediately set this app apart from all the rest out there. I used this many times, at the parks, while the kids were playing, during lunch breaks, as a passenger, as I would ask my wife to drive so I can study, etc..

The new revised app is great and even though I completed all the questions twice, I still never had 100%. Hence the value of the questions.

Thanks for the review - great to hear that you found it helpful. I agree that having explanations would be a good addition - it's just a question of when I have time!

When you flip the cards you get incomplete responses for some. Like “ give the 6 steps of the risk management framework.” You flip the card and it has 5.
Also some of us like to learn by using flashcards and the. Reading the material.
Complex abbreviated formulas should be preceded by questions explaining what the abbreviations work.
See quizlet for example

Thank you for your feedback. I have checked the answer that you mentioned, all the 6 options were present but two appeared on one line for some reason. That's now been rectified in version 3.1!

The flashcards have been helpful in my studies so far, but there are a lot of incomplete answers. For example, Chapter 2 questions. What are the differences between "awareness", "training", and "education"? Flip the card and it doesn't finish explaining training nor answer what education is. Another example, the answer for the formula for risk uses the abbreviation "AV", and I believe it should actually list asset value (or include it in parenthesis). There are several other examples I've found. For $20 the answers should be more complete.

Thank you for your feedback! The purpose of the flashcards is to reinforce learning - they should never be used to supplant initial learning from the guidebook (or course). I found in my experience that keeping the answers very short made it easier to remember but everyone has their own way of learning.
