As a frame of reference, I was one of the Beta folk for the SSCP. It hasn't caught on nearly as much as the CISSP, but the test itself was a complete joke. We were told that it would be a challenging, hands-on, low-level knowledge, three-hour exam. I finished in twenty minutes, and passed. The last person walked out of there two hours into the exam. I signed an NDA that I don't remember the details of, so I'm loathe to disclose any specific details, but let's just say that I'd be surprised if my technophobic mother failed the exam. It's true. If you have any semblance of common sense, you can easily pass a large number of exams out there. Being able to read, and having a passable memory, just greatly increase your chances. _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
