What the exam tests
Exam domains and official weightings
The percentage is the exam weighting; the bar is how many verified questions we hold there, so a short bar is where our bank is thin.

Opens next. The first practice exam opens at 125 verified questions, spread across all 8 domains.
Every question here is checked against the official page it cites before it serves, which is why the count grows slowly.
Where to focus: The eight weights are unusually flat, from 10 to 15 percent, so a single neglected domain costs about as much as any other and broad coverage beats depth in one favorite area. The outline follows the software lifecycle in order and carries an effective date of September 15, 2023, so check that date against anything you study from; Secure Software Supply Chain is the smallest domain at 10 percent and the one older material is most likely to be thin on.
What the exam actually asks you to do
Multiple choice and ISC2's advanced item types. There is no lab and no simulation, so the practice that matters is reading a scenario and choosing well.

Frequently asked questions
How much experience does the CSSLP require?
ISC2 requires a minimum of four years cumulative, full-time experience in one or more of the eight domains of the current CSSLP Exam Outline. ISC2 states that a post-secondary degree (bachelors or masters) in computer science, information technology or a related field may satisfy up to one year, and that part-time work and internships may also count.
Can I take the exam before I have four years of experience?
Yes. ISC2 states that if you do not have the required experience you may become an Associate of ISC2 by passing the CSSLP examination, and you then have five years to earn the four years of required experience.
How much does the CSSLP exam cost?
ISC2 lists standard registration for the CSSLP exam at U.S. $599 in the Americas, Asia Pacific, the Middle East and Africa, EUR 575.04 in EMEA, and GBP 485.19 in the United Kingdom. Pricing and taxes are based on the location of exam administration.
What does renewal involve?
ISC2 members are on a three-year certification cycle. For CSSLP the required three-year total is 90 CPE credits, of which 60 must be Group A, and ISC2 suggests 30 per year. Members holding CSSLP also pay an annual maintenance fee of U.S. $135.
