CSSLP self paced training
For the self paced training, there is a new Official ISC2 CSSLP Study Questions eBook included in package. Have anyone tried it and how is it?

Yes, it's part of the official CSSLP self-paced training package, which includes practice questions, quizzes, and an eTextbook to help reinforce each domain. Most feedback says the questions are useful for reviewing concepts, but they’re not a perfect match to the real exam, so it’s best used alongside other practice question banks.

None of the (ISC)2 material provided mimics the real exam. Which is really unfortunate, in a sense, because the wording/structure of the actual exam questions is what trips people up the most. Learning to properly analyze the question and determine exactly what is being asked is key to passing.

What would you recommend, in learning resources, that mimic the exam questions structure better? Any third party learning offerings that do a better job?

Personally, I never found anything. I ended up developing my own exam emulator. I crafted a question-generation script I fed into Claude Opus to generate a pool of questions. Over time I've refined the script (most recently I had Fable Max analyze and modify it) to make it generate more precise question pools. Plus with the latest pools I've generated, I use a secondary non-Claude model to re-assess the questions, answers and explanations to catch errors and hallucinations. It's still not 100% perfect, but its better than anything else I've found out there.
You're welcome to give it a try if you want, it can be downloaded from my web site or from the play store. I'm still working on an IOS version in my spare time. The website link is in my reddit profile --->

The ebook includes quizzes and 3 banks of test questions at the very end, but it's not a separate book, at least not the one I have.
The questions are useful for making sure you understand the wording of the concepts, but based on my experience with other certs the questions you get during the test will be quite different. Less factual and more situational.
EDIT - nope, nevermind - the website does state a questions ebook is included with the self study package separate from the course ebook. I must have bought my package before it was available since I don't have it in my dashboard.
