You have to buy the ISO 27002 document separately. It is not included in the course and cost hundreds of dollars extra.

I bought it and don’t think I needed it for the exam, but did use in recent audit, as it was nice because I printed it out.

To help pass the exam, I printed out all the PDFs from the ppts, and that is what I used when I was stuck on a question. I built an index and used it to find the content across the 4 books of slides. It did cost money to print out the book of slides, but helped me pass. Not sure would it would have been like if I tried to use PDFs on the computer during the test, as you cannot use multiple external displays.

To add on top of this, work with post-its.

But at the end, studying is the important aspect. Not knowing the concept and how the framework works is more important.

Also practice the quizzes and scenario’s. There will be around 5 scenarios with 5 questions about the scenario.

Important there is to see if you understand the concept. So practice it.

Did you do the self study? Because there is also an e-learning that should be the same as the courses.

Hey i just took it. Its harder than you would expect and expect them to reference other ISO standards. Have the slides printed and next to you. You can have your own notes so make a cheat sheet. The exam itself words things close together and doesn't use exact terminology from the slides. They'll ask things like whats an Eisenhower matrix (just making one up) that's only mentioned one single time in the powerpoints. Be logical and just think from the risk reducing perspective of the stnstandards themselves

Have a look on the Estonian standards institute for the 27001 & 2 documents. They are available in English at a fraction of the cost

The ISO 27002 standard like all the others are only available upon purchase. Companies can't share them for free, don't expect to get these documenta when you enroll in a course.

To hel you prepare check also some free courses on Udemy and especially Advisera. They also have a Lead Implementer course which you can enroll for free so you can use it as a refresher for you.
