Preparation for the Certified Implementation Specialist - Security Incident Response CIS-SIR exam

[Philip Owen]

Afternoon all....

I am deep diving into the Certified Implementation Specialist - Security Incident Response CIS-SIR exam. I'd be grateful for any pointers and advise in terms of what online resources to use. I have the Mainline Exam Blueprint, I have listened to the My Failure Story which has some good tips, I have access to resources such as like Pass4Future. 

I have about 100 or so mock questions that I cross reference, I am again going to over the SIR Implementation course again and looking in the Participation guide for anything that's highlighted in BOLD and will do the labs again. 

What am I missing? this is my approach for all the exams that I will aim to do.

If you have any additional advice that would be much appreciated.

@Philip Owen I recommend enrolling for the on demand courses listed here https://learning.servicenow.com/lxp/en/pages/now-learning-get-certified?id=amap_detail&achievement_i...

Your exam will be based on the content shared in these courses, going through these courses may take some time, however, your success will be guaranteed.  Platforms like Pass4Future may help you to prepare for the final exam, but you can't rely on the answers as they may be obsolete in context of the latest release.

Thanks Sandeep, I have done the Security Operations Fundamentals and Security Response Implementation courses which should be a pre-requisite for passing the exam.

Hi @Philip Owen 

It sounds like you are well prepared, and I'm sure you'll do fine. My only advice would be: don't over-complicate things, and by that I'm really repeating what @Sandeep Rajput has posted: all the content of the exam is in the SIR course (and to a lesser extent the Fundamentals course as well).

So if you're confident you know and understand the content of the course(s), you're set up to pass. There's no need to look too far for additional resources. Again, as Sandeep has said, with any other non-official resources, there's a risk that some of the content may be wrong.

Thanks Simon,

I have crossed referenced some of the answers to the questions with some YouTube content and some contradict each other, then you refer to the courses then discover the correct path, so you are right.
