• ISSMP Questions

  by Sarfboy

  Still waiting for ISSMP questions.

• Good but not perfect

  by Buggycrash

  These questions are written in the style most similar to the actual tests. That's good and gets you into the right mindset. However, answers are not referenced so you have to take their word that a particular answer is the correct one. In a few cases I disagreed with the answer the app chose. Also, in a small number of questions, the wording is missing some keywords that are later used to justify the chosen answer. Bottom line, use this to know what the questions will look like, but make sure you study other resources as we'll

• Decent but confusing questions

  by Eddyisgreat

  Cool interface and question content. I did get a question that asked about a scenario that wasn't articulated in the original question, in the SSCP sample set.

• Poorly edited

  by TheWayOfTheGun

  The additional practice questions are $4.99 for each batch of 25. At that price I expected higher quality. Typos are common, many questions don't include the rationale for the correct answer, and at least one references a scenario which isn't stated. Also, there is no way to review previous questions other than running through an entire batch again. For learning purposes it's nice to re-examine the question and choices once the correct answer is known. That's pretty basic studying which isn't possible with this app. I am pleased to have passed the exam today but found other study materials more valuable than this.
