Feeling discouraged with statistics

Sep 7 (edited) in 📣 General

Hello, fellow CISSP study group members! I hope you’re all having a great weekend. Lately, I’ve been feeling a bit discouraged about preparing for the CISSP exam. I’m determined to succeed, but my research shows that the passing rate is alarmingly low. Although ISC2 doesn’t publicly share these statistics, I’ve found that the estimated passing rate is only around 20%.

That figure is so discouraging that I sometimes question whether I should even take the exam. Additionally, I can’t afford the exam fees, so I’ve applied for a scholarship from ISC2 to cover the costs with a voucher.

I don’t want to discourage anyone from pursuing the exam, but those numbers are concerning! I usually enjoy uplifting and motivating others, so any advice you all have would be greatly appreciated.😊
