Most of the questions on the CISSP exam are four-option, multiple-choice questions with a single correct answer. Some are straightforward, such as asking you to select a definition. Some are a bit more involved, asking you to select the appropriate concept or best practice. And some questions present you with a scenario or situation and ask you to select the best response.

You must select the one correct or best answer and mark it. In some cases, the correct answer will be obvious to you. In other cases, several answers may seem correct. In these instances, you must choose the best answer for the question asked. Watch for general, specific, universal, superset, and subset answer selections. In other cases, none of the answers will seem correct. In these instances, you'll need to select the least incorrect answer.

Some multiple-choice questions may require that you select more than one answer; if so, these will state what is necessary to provide a complete answer.

In addition to the standard multiple-choice question format, the exam may include a few advanced question formats, which (ISC)² calls advanced innovative questions. These include drag-and-drop questions and hotspot questions. These types of questions require you to place topics or concepts in order of operations, in priority preference, or in relation to proper positioning for the needed solution. Specifically, the drag-and-drop questions require the test taker to move labels or icons to mark items on an image. The hotspot questions require the test taker to pinpoint a location on an image with a crosshair marker. These question concepts are easy to work with and understand, but be careful about your accuracy when dropping or marking.
