ISSAP practice exams
No complete practice exam yet. A form is 125 questions apportioned to the official weightings, and a partial one would report a score that means nothing, so none is assembled until the questions are there.

Opens next. The first practice exam opens at 125 verified questions, spread across all 4 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: Infrastructure and System Security alone is 32 percent of the ISSAP, so roughly one question in three comes from that single domain. ISC2 scores on a 1000 point scale with a 700 cut, which means weak coverage of that domain is very hard to offset elsewhere.
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
Do I need a CISSP before I can sit the ISSAP exam?
Not necessarily. ISC2's ISSAP exam outline gives two paths: be a CISSP in good standing with two years cumulative full-time experience in one or more of the four ISSAP domains, or hold a minimum of seven years cumulative full-time experience in two or more of the domains. The ISC2 certifications page summarises this as 'CISSP + 2 Years or 7 years cumulative'.
How long is the ISSAP exam and how many questions does it have?
ISC2 publishes a length of 3 hours and 125 items. The item format is listed as multiple choice and advanced item types, and the passing grade is 700 out of 1000 points. It is delivered at Pearson VUE testing centers in English.
What does the ISSAP exam cost?
ISC2's exam pricing page lists U.S. $599 standard registration for the ISSAP exam in the Americas, Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Africa. EMEA is listed at EUR 575.04 and the United Kingdom at GBP 485.19.
How is the ISSAP maintained after I pass?
ISC2 runs a three-year certification cycle. Per the ISC2 Certification Maintenance Handbook, a member who holds a CISSP alongside the ISSAP must earn 20 Group A CPE credits per year, 60 across the cycle, directly related to the ISSAP. A single annual maintenance fee of U.S. $135 covers all ISC2 certifications you hold.
