CSSLP Exam FAQ: Answers to Read Before You Book
The ISC Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional Practice Test is the official ISC exam that leads to the Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional certification at the Advanced / Professional level. Passing it validates your skills against ISC standards and proves your qualification to current and future employers. The credential is also connected with related certifications such as CISSP, CCSP, SSCP, so it can serve as a solid step in a broader certification path.
The CSSLP exam has 125 questions in total and must be completed within 180 minutes. That leaves only a narrow time budget per item, so train yourself to flag a difficult question, move on, and circle back later instead of getting stuck. A week or two before your test date, run at least one full timed mock exam in the ExamTorrent desktop or online test engine under the same 180 minutes limit, and repeat until you can finish with a few minutes left for review.
The passing score for the CSSLP exam is 700 out of 1000, and the official registration fee is $599 USD. Keep in mind that a failed attempt is not discounted — retaking the exam means paying the full fee again — so it is wise not to book your seat until your practice scores sit comfortably above the passing mark. Working through the 349 questions at ExamTorrent in timed mode is a reliable way to judge when you are truly ready.
ISC sets the following requirement for the CSSLP exam: 4 years of cumulative paid work experience in 1 or more CSSLP domains; 3 years with a bachelor's degree; CISSP holders are exempt from work experience requirement.
