After studying for 42 hours in 12 days (from 2018/09/14 to 2018/09/25), I cleared the ISC2 CISSP-ISSEP exam this afternoon and it’s really lucky for me, probably, to be the first exam taker who passed this exam in Taiwan.

My exam preparation is completely directed by the ISC2 CISSP-ISSEP exam outline. The most common references used for the ISSEP by domain from ToniHardy and the ISC2 official references are quite helpful. Having passed CSSLP exam helps as well.
The milestones are updated as follows:
- Milestone #1: PMI + CISSP
- 2018/04/09 ACP
- 2018/04/27 PBA
- 2018/06/19 CISSP
- 2018/07/10 RMP
- Milestone #2: ISACA

- 2018/09/25 CISSP-ISSEP (bonus)
- Milestone #4: EC-Council

Moving forward is the best strategy of retreat! I’ll keep moving.
