Bring Prescription and Over-the-Counter Medications

Again, check with your testing center and notify the test administrator if you’re taking any prescription medication that must be taken during the exam (for example, one dose every four hours — remember, this is a six-hour exam!). Nothing can ruin your chances of succeeding on the CISSP exam like a medical emergency! Also, consider bringing some basic over-the-counter meds, such as acetaminophen or antacids, to eliminate any annoying inconveniences such as headaches, heartburn, or a gastrointestinal malady. A box of tissues might also be appropriate — if you have a cold or you feel like crying when you see the exam!
