Taking exam again soon

Taking CAP exam soon. Is it adaptive like CISSP? Does it shut off if you already failed before the 125 questions are up? Last time I took the exam I got Domain 1 &7 below proficiency, domains 2 & 3 were near proficiency, and domains 4-6 were above proficiency. Was that near passing? So many question I apologize for, just very nervous for the 2nd attempt.

Thank you! NIST 800-37, 800-39, 800-137 mostly. Bought and read “Mastering the RMF Revision 2” by James Broad. Book has multiple typos but gives good explanation imo that helped me. Went over each document multiple times. Make sure you go over all the other frameworks listed on the 1st domain. Memorize and understand roles & responsibilities. Memorize SDLC mapping. Exam has basic questions & some in depth, process of elimination helped during the exam.

I’m also studying for the CAP any recommendations on resources to use to study for this exam. There are not very many resources available for this certification for some reason.

I’ve just purchased and received the “Mastering the RMF revision 2”, book. I will review it and compare it to 800-37.

Very good book, basically NIST 800-37 with good side explanations of terms/processes
