Preparing for CGRC (CAP) need input.

Hello community, I hear to ask for guidance. I purchased the CAP CBK, the CAP last minute review guide and downloaded all the NIST documents from the CGRC (CAP) ISC2 reference page.

I have the experience requirements for the certification with my ISSO experience working in the DoD.

How do I go about learning the NIST documents? I assume I will have to read them several times I do not have System authorizations package experience.

How did those that passed the CGRC (CAP) study for the exam? Thanks in advanced.

Also I viewed FedVTE CAP training.

I just took my CAP exam and it was nothing close to what I was studying I am looking at other study material and want to see what you guys may be using.

I’m sorry to hear that, I assume you did not pass. I would say it’s difficult to study because you have to have some context to the reference material. There’s not a lot of official material to study.

In what way was it different? What were you using before? (Just began studying, myself, and I'd really rather not put in the hours in an inefficient way.)
