The CC, CCSP, and SSCP will be CAT format.

Starting October 1, 2025, the CC, CCSP, and SSCP exams will be administered as a variable-length Computer Adaptive Test (CAT) exam only. (Just like the CISSP is now).

This means:

CC: 2 hours and 100-125 questions.

CCSP: 3 hours and 100-150 

SSCP: 2 hours and 100-125 questions.

 

Once the CAT format is live, you can no longer take the tests in the current linear format.

There will be 25 beta questions on each test (they are for research and future tests, they do NOT count towards your score. 

They are always in the first 100 questions, you will not know which they are.

 

My YouTube video on the CAT exam format for the CISSP, the CC, CCSP, and SSCP will be the same, except the CC and SSCP will only have 100-125 questions:
