You will need to use a special browser that uses camera proctoring while you take the exam. The exam consists of forty (40) multiple choice questions. Each question has three (3) answer options, exactly one (1) of which is correct. You should answer all questions, since there is no penalty for questions answered incorrectly, but you will not get any points for questions left unanswered.  To pass, you must answer at least 27 questions correctly. You will have 60 minutes to take the exam.

Ordering the exam entitles you to sit for one (1) exam attempt.

This is one of the eight exams you need to pass to earn the CCISO® diploma.
