TotalTester Online

TotalTester Online provides you with a simulation of the CISSP exam. Exams can be taken in Practice Mode or Exam Mode. Practice Mode provides an assistance window with hints, references to the book, explanations of the correct and incorrect answers, and the option to check your answer as you take the test. Exam Mode provides a simulation of the actual exam. The number of questions, the types of questions, and the time allowed are intended to be an accurate representation of the exam environment. The option to customize your quiz allows you to create custom exams from selected domains or chapters, and you can further customize the number of questions and time allowed.

To take a test, follow the instructions provided in the previous section to register and activate your Total Seminars Training Hub account. When you register you will be taken to the Total Seminars Training Hub. From the Training Hub Home page, select your certification from the Study drop-down menu at the top of the page to drill down to the TotalTester for your book. You can also scroll to it from the list of Your Topics on the Home page and then click the TotalTester link to launch the TotalTester. Once you’ve launched your TotalTester, you can select the option to customize your quiz and begin testing yourself in Practice Mode or Exam Mode. All exams provide an overall grade and a grade broken down by domain.

Graphical Questions

In addition to multiple-choice questions, the CISSP exam includes graphical questions. You can access the practice questions included with this book by navigating to the Resources tab and selecting Graphical Questions Quizzes. After you have selected the quizzes, they will appear in your browser, organized by domain.

Hotspot questions are graphical in nature and require the test taker to understand the concepts of the question from a practical and graphical aspect. You will have to point to the correct component within the graphic to properly answer the exam question. For example, you might be required to point to a specific area in a network diagram, point to a location in a network stack graphic, or choose the right location of a component within a graphic illustrating e-commerce–based authentication. It is not as easy to memorize answers for these types of questions, and they in turn make passing the exam more difficult.

The drag-and-drop questions are not as drastically different in format as compared to the hotspot questions. These questions just require the test taker to choose the correct answer or answers and drag them to the right location.

Online Flash Cards

Access to Shon Harris’ Online CISSP Flash Cards from CISSP learning products company Human Element, LLC is also provided. These flash cards are another great way to study for the CISSP exam.
