Thor’s CISSP Flashcards – Study Smarter, Not Harder!

If you’re working on your CISSP exam, you may already have seen your fair share of Flashcards.

My Flashcards are not just another deck with vague definitions and random order.

I built them from the ground up to do one thing: help you actually remember what you’re studying — faster and more effectively.

✅ 2,800+ Flashcards
✅ Covering all 8 CISSP domains
✅ You get two levels of explanation: short when you need quick recall, long when you want to dig deeper
✅ Links to my lectures on ThorTeaches.com and relevant Wikipedia articles, so you can dive deeper when it matters
✅ Built optimized for spaced repetition on the Brainscape platform
✅ Available on web and mobile apps (Android/iOS), with synchronization
✅ Confidence-based learning — you review what you don’t know more often
✅ Quick 10-card study rounds
✅ Progress tracking, reminders, and motivation tools included

You can study anywhere, anytime, even offline — in five-minute bursts or full sessions — and always stay on track.

CISSP Flashcard FAQ:

Yes, my CISSP Flashcards were made for the current (2024) CISSP exam. The next expected CISSP exam update is in 2027, at that time I will update the Flashcards.

Just over 2,800 Flashcards in total, covering all 8 CISSP domains.

With both short and detailed explanations for each card, and direct links to my lectures and Wikipedia where appropriate for a deeper look at the topic.

They are different in many ways:

  • Every card includes two levels of explanation, short and detailed explanations for each card.
  • Direct links to my lectures and Wikipedia where appropriate for a deeper look at the topic.
  • Using the Brainscape platform you get:
    • Spaced repetition and confidence scoring to help you retain more and study less. This isn’t a “shuffle and hope” deck — it adapts as you go.

    • Study from anywhere on any device at any time with the Brainscape Apps (web, Android, iOS).

    • Focus on your weak areas first with the confidence based algorithm.

    • Do short 10-term sessions or longer ones as they match your schedule.

    • Strengthen your long‑term memory using active recall with immediate answer reveal and self‑rating.

    • Track your progress instantly – Mastery %, Confidence Gained, and Cards Studied update after each round.

    • Keep motivation high – Instant feedback, progress meters, variable rewards, and social leaderboards.

    • Stay on schedule with automated study reminders.

Yes, you should be able to! 

Brainscape works on both your computer, tablets, and mobile devices.

There are separate (but synced) web, iOS, and Android apps – so you can study no matter where you are, waiting in line, between meetings, wherever you’ve got a spare five minutes.

Short answer; No. 

Longer answer:

Flashcards are for review — they’re a great tool to reinforce what you’ve learned, but they’re not a full course. Think of this as your high-efficiency memory booster, not a complete curriculum.
