# CCSP Guide to pass I was one of the first 500 to become a CCSP. There were not materials for studying at the time. These steps worked for me but consider looking for audio/video and practice questions. Overall I learned some things mostly architecture and data lifecycle studying for the CCSP. I don't suggest going for the CCSP over the CISSP. Cloud architecture changes so quick that by the time I was studying some of the architecture was obsolete. 1. Buy the official CBK published by SYBEX (same publisher as CISSP) There is the *official study guide CCSP* by Sybex. I don't suggest this book in some areas it contradicted the CBK. 2. At the end of the CBK there is a website for practice tests. I thought this was OK, not as good as the CSSP. 3. I wrote my own quizlet flashcards. I used the quizlet app on my phone and studied these when I had downtime. 4. CCSP uses a few domains of CISSP so a refresher on CISSP domains is a good idea. 5. Take the test! --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
