Timed practice tests
1 taster test (15 questions) · all tests with Premium
Sit the free 15-question taster against the clock. Premium unlocks all 6 timed 25-question practice tests, each reviewed answer by answer.
Free tasterExam Papers
A timed 100-question practice paper with exclusive questions and a pass / fail verdict. The real CISSP exam is adaptive — 100–150 items over up to 3 hours — and ISC2 scores it on a 0–1000 scale, not a percentage, so treat the pass mark here as PassNova's own practice benchmark rather than an ISC2 figure.
The pass mark is PassNova’s indicative estimate, not an official figure.

Is the CISSP practice up to date for 2026?
CISSP is examined across ISC2's eight domains, and ISC2 has been interweaving AI-related tasks through all eight. PassNova's 230 questions cover all eight, grouped into six revision areas — security and risk management, asset security and security architecture, communication and network security, identity and access management, security assessment/testing/operations, and software development security. Check ISC2's current exam outline for the domain weightings before planning revision time.
Are these real CISSP exam questions?
No — deliberately. Every PassNova question is written from the published exam objectives, not copied from a live exam. Sites that republish real questions ("exam dumps") breach the candidate agreement you accept when you book, and using them can void your result or cost you a credential you already hold. PassNova matches the real exam's style, difficulty and domain weighting without reproducing its content.
