Episode 136: How to Deconstruct CISSP Questions

CISSP exam questions are known for being complex, layered, and sometimes intentionally confusing. In this episode, we teach you how to break questions apart to find the real point being tested. You'll learn how to identify the scenario, isolate the question stem, and evaluate answer choices using elimination strategies. We also discuss common distractors, keywords like “best,” “first,” and “most likely,” and how to avoid overthinking. CISSPs must be able to think critically, quickly, and clearly—this episode helps you build the habits to do just that.
