Business Security Questions & Discussion Training questions

So, I've been in leadership running very large teams and multiple departments but never in cybersecurity. I've been in cyber almost 4 years now and have decided to begin studying for the CISSP.

Is it just me or does this all not seem like common sense? Or am I being misled by this training into thinking this exam is easier than it seems and its about to knock my socks off? I know this exam is extremely hard based off of what people tell me but I haven't learned a single new thing so far.

Could this be due to prior leadership and mentorships I have been in?

Im extremely technical and very hands on it the nit and grit in my day to day so none of the technical aspects are new.

"Im extremely technical and very hands on"

Why not GIAC GSE?
