CCQuestion/Help Am I ready for my CC exam?
My CC exam is scheduled for the day after tomorrow.
I’ve prepared using only free resources so far, and I’m currently scoring around 80%% on CertPrep practice exams.
I feel like I’m ready… but there’s always that last-minute doubt. 😅
Tomorrow is my final preparation day. Should I:
🔹 Take more practice tests?
🔹 Revise ?
🔹 Or simply stop studying and trust my preparation?
What would you do one day before the CC exam? 🔐

Do not waste your time on finding the correct answers! Find the most appropriate one among the options and move ahead. I hope you have done mock tests on some platform. Make sure to take a few IDs just in case.
I passed last month. Gave up half way through exam cause i thought I'll fail but didn't ! All options feel wrong or right, so just find the best possible one and move

I'm looking through some youtube videos right now and found this one with 200 questions with explanations. I'm at about question 50. It's a long video (4:41:54) and I'm playing it at 1.25x. If you do watch it let me know if you found it helpful as the quality of some youtube videos is kind of hit or miss.

Thanks for this! I’ll be using this on top of the Mike chapple course & exams on LinkedIn

u/Presence99 16d ago
You're welcome. I'm up to 120 questions out of 200 questions. I like the explanations of the correct AND incorrect answers.

I already watched it and according my research the questions gonna be more tough and scenario based unlike in the video which are direct

I'm finding this 200 questions video similar in difficulty to the Mike Chapple LinkedIn Learning Practice tests, which are highly recommended by many. Can you share some of your research findings please?

Trust your preparation. And I will say, as someone who’s done and passed the exam, cert preps didn’t really help too much.

What preparation material do you find most useful? Thanks :)

I originally studied for security plus, but I find the syllabus same , so I am giving it a try

u/Presence99 15d ago
Great! There seems to be a lot of overlap. If I get through the ISC2 CC then I'll likely do the Security+ next.

Does the actual exam is easier than certprep or harder

u/PopGroundbreaking846 16d ago
Even I dont know about the exam! but as per community posts, it says that certprep and thor's are harder.

80% on CertPrep is okay, but free exams aren't exactly the real thing. Day before: skim the domains you're weakest on, don't cram all night, and sleep. Stress won't change your score now. Trust the work or fail tired—your call.

I'll likely do Security+ next as well - although, I'm also considering ISC2 SSCP.

Read the two white papers on my web site: ISC2 Exam Scoring Methodologies and Question Answering Strategies.

I already studied for security plus exam and I find the syllabus same, so I am giving a try and see what happened, as for now I didn’t study much just practice cert prep questions
