Master Every (ISC)² Certification.

• 100% Free

• All 9 (ISC)² Certifications

• Over 50,600 topics across all certifications

• 152,046 questions to assess your knowledge level

• Works 100% offline - no online account, no ads, no telemetry

Every exam objective gets a full reading section — two detailed prose passages covering the material in depth, an inline diagram, an (ISC)² Relevance callout explaining why it matters for your certification role, and an Exam Tip highlighting exactly what the exam tests.

Before moving to questions, you rate your confidence on a slider from 0–100%. The app records your self-assessment and compares it against your actual performance in the final report. Where the gap is large, that's where you focus next.

• Inline diagrams illustrating key concepts

  • Extended deep-dive section — 250+ words of in-depth analysis beyond the primary prose

• Bookmark any topic for quick return visits

After each reading section, three multiple-choice questions test whether you actually understood the material — not just whether you read it. Questions are drawn from the same topic at rising difficulty:

• Easy: recall and recognition of the core concept

• Moderate: application and analysis in a scenario

• Challenging: synthesis, evaluation, or a nuanced distinction

Questions are presented in randomised order so difficulty level isn't positionally predictable. After you submit, the answer key expands immediately — every option gets a detailed explanation of why it is right or wrong.

The proficiency report gives you the full picture at every level of granularity — from an overall score down to individual topic performance, all measured against your own self-assessment.

• Overall proficiency weighted by question difficulty

• Performance breakdown by Easy / Moderate / Challenging

• Per-domain and per-subdomain comparison chart

• Red self-rating marker on every bar — see your calibration gaps instantly

• Filter by Needs attention, Overconfident, or Strong topics

• Print to PDF for offline reference
  
  

The report is available mid-session at any time — not just at the end.

Switch between light and dark themes instantly with a single click. Your preference is saved across sessions so the app always opens the way you left it.

Bookmark any topic with the ★ button — bookmarks are preserved in your session and accessible from the navigation bar so you can jump straight back to material you want to review again.

Each of the nine courses includes a dedicated glossary curated for that certification's body of knowledge — from 141 entries for CC to 288 for SSCP.

Open it from the navigation bar. The built-in glossary is searchable by term, acronym, or definition and filterable by letter, or tap any highlighted acronym in the reading content to jump directly to its definition. Definitions include source references and links to authoritative documentation where available. Click any acronym inside the reading content to look it up without leaving the page.

2,100+ Total Glossary Entries - 9 Per-Exam Glossaries

Selected topics include a security news sidebar drawn from a curated library of 51 real-world incidents — breaches, ransomware attacks, regulatory actions, and vulnerability disclosures. These sidebars now include a collapsible discussion questions panel with three to five guided questions to help you connect the incident to the exam objective.

• 51 real incidents drawn from the past several years

• Each linked to a specific exam objective for direct relevance

• 3–5 discussion questions per sidebar — expand when ready to test your analysis

• Covers news blocks across all nine certifications at roughly 10% of leaf topics

The goal is to ensure that when you sit the exam, real-world context isn't abstract — you've already analyzed a real case where it went wrong.
