ISC2 Certified in Cybersecurity retake planner

Copy the level your ISC2 exam result for candidates who don't pass gives each domain. You get a retake plan weighted by the official outline, with your weakest domains first and a schedule for every week until your retake.

Build my retake plan

Step 1 of 2

Copy each domain level from your report

If you don't pass, the result you get at the test center lists each domain as Above, Near or Below proficiency against the passing standard, with no numerical score. Don't enter your name or candidate ID: the planner doesn't need them.

The 5 official domains

Leave a domain blank if you’re not sure. Blank ones keep their official share with a little extra time; the planner never guesses.

Security Principles24% of the exam
Security Governance17.3% of the exam
Identity And Access Management (IAM) Concepts20% of the exam
Networking and Cloud Security Concepts21.3% of the exam
Security Operations and Incident Response17.3% of the exam

How the plan sets your priorities

Your ISC2 exam result for candidates who don't pass rates each domain as Above proficiency, Near proficiency, Below proficiency. The lowest level starts your plan, the highest is kept up with lighter review, and anything in between is strengthened.

Each domain starts from its share of the exam in the official outline, multiplied by its priority: 3× to start, 2× to strengthen, 1.5× if you leave it blank, and 1× to maintain. A quarter of your time is mixed practice across all domains. This is Passy’s planning method; it doesn’t estimate a score or a chance of passing.
