CISSP exam

Got up at 0630 and had a quick breakfast. Arrived at City University at 0800. The exam hall seat was strange and funny. You needed to swing it back in a circular motion and seat on it then it will swing back. The seat was quite small the man sat next to me complaint about it and commented “Are all U students these days so slim?” Later he discovered he was in the wrong seat…..

The exam instruction was business causal and absolutely no electronic device but everyone were in smart causal (lucky I did ask my coworkers) and many people bought along there cell phone or even laptop..... If I knew this earlier I would have brought along my O2 mini.....

The exam last for 6 hours with no breaks in between. I brought along a can of coffee and some bread. After 2 hours I felt dizzy already so I went for a washroom break. The whiteboard shown a male washroom queue and a female washroom queue. Actually the female one is blank (cause as far as I noticed, only 6 female, including the exam supervisor, are in the hall, out of around 100 people) while the male queue was real long. This is the first time I found there is something nice about being a girl…..

After 3 hours and 45 mins I completed the exam. I spent the next 2 hours on revising the answers and then left. I went to Page One for the book 'The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time'. On my way home, I noticed that I forgot my jacket, which I had just brought it and wore 2 times.

I asked NAHEHE for CityU numbers and called the security centre but no one picked my jacket…. Originally I thought I spent $4000 for 2 (ISC)2 pencils, now I spent $4200 for 2 (ISC)2 pencil….. (the jacket cost $200 and the exam cost $4000. All I have got from the CISSP exam are two (ISC)2 pencils. I always prepared for the worst that I might failed the exam.)

I have one last hope that someone in (ISC)2 picked my jacket so that I can get it back later……
