Total Tester Premium Practice Exam Software
Total Tester provides you with a simulation of the CISSP exam.

Exam Mode provides a simulation of the actual exam. The number of questions, the types of questions, and the time allowed are intended to be an accurate representation of the exam environment. Both Practice Mode and Exam Mode provide an overall grade and a grade broken down by certification objectives.
You can also use Custom Mode to create custom exams from selected certification domains or chapters. You can further customize the number of questions and time allowed.
To take a test, launch the program and select the exam suite from the Installed Question Packs list. You can then select Practice Mode, Exam Mode, or Custom Mode. After making your selection, click Start Exam to begin.

Hotspot and Drag-and-Drop Questions
In addition to the multiple-choice practice exam questions featured in the Total Tester Premium Practice Exam Software, simulated hotspot and drag-and-drop questions are available for download to allow you practice with these question types.
Hotspot questions are graphical in nature and require the test taker to understand the concepts of the question from a practical and graphical aspect. You will have to point to the correct component within the graphic to properly answer the exam question. For example, you might be required to point to a specific point in a network diagram, point to a location in a network stack graphic, or choose the right location of a component within a graphic illustrating e-commerce–based authentication. It is not as easy to memorize answers for these types of questions, and they in turn make passing the exam more difficult.
The drag-and-drop questions are not as drastically different in format as compared to the hotspot questions. These questions just require the test taker to choose the correct answer and drag it to the right location. This question type is similar to the traditional multiple-choice (A, B, C, D) questions on the exam. You will be asked to choose one right answer out of a set of provided answers.
