   CISSP exam in two weeks, and I've no iudea how the exam compares to the practices

   I feel like I know all the stuff, but feel like a 4 hour multiple choice exam I have to wake up at 6:30 am for is the least ideal way to test that

   Any advice/assurances for someone who really just needs letters that tell well-meaning HR people that I am hirable?

     and then I have an eclipse chasing vacation and my brother's wedding, which I hope will make me less stressed

     @silverwizard I'm going to be further East in Magog, I'd like that for sure but I'm not sure how to organize this yet.

     @rivetgeek That makes sense. I did a video course, then did a practice exam, read some of a book, and then did another practice exam, and then gonna read more from the book. Hoping this'll work. I'm hoping the CISSP Official Practice Tests book relates to the exam. But seriously.

     @silverwizard I don't know that exam specifically but my tactic with any certification exam has been question dumps and practice tests. Lots and lots of them. It worked well enough that even though a bunch of questions on my AWS Solutions Architect exam were unlike any of the practice questions I spent weeks working on, I still passed.

     @silverwizard I used a combination if Udemy and CloudAcademy (which we have through my work). It took a couple months total but the last two weeks or so was totally Udemy doing practice test after practice test. I had the blessing of my boss to prioritize that during work hours though.
