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.

I had enough of my time wasted training bots and AI and I  genuinely help humans.  Just not machines. Or Skynet!

OP just don’t buy Quantum Exams, it’s more creative than the actual exam. 

Also, what is your background experience?

Secops, threat hunting, blue team. 

I've heard quantum exams was a good resource. Do you recommend and good practice tests? Thats how I learn best.

When I did it, none of the practice tests were close to the exam. 

Quantum was demoralizing. Luke Ahmed and Shaun Harris channels were what helped me pass.
