I am looking for a few question writers to help me write CISSP practice questions (maybe CISM/CISA too) for new question banks.
You need to be a subject matter expert meaning you have taken one or more of the exams or you are close to taking them.
- I want you to write questions that are similar to the exam.
- This means; do not break your NDA, do not use items you remember from your exam, and do not use real exam questions.
- I want you to make something that can help students get used to the format of the exam and how they ask the questions.
- Any use of copyrighted content or real exam questions will result in you being blacklisted from working with us. This includes changing keywords on someone else’s questions; your questions must be unique and original.
- All submitted content will be checked for plagiarism as to avoid any legal complications.
- You will write original multiple-choice scenario-based questions with 4 answer options.
- 2 right answers where one is MORE right, and 2 answer options that are distractors, and an explanation on why the right answer is the MOST right and wrong answer options wrong.
- I would like a sample of 5 questions to begin with to gauge the quality of your work.
- If I like your questions and we move forward, you will be paid per approved question and I will own the exclusive copyright to the questions, this is work for hire.
- I pay for questions I can use, each question will be evaluated and approved, rejected, or I will ask for changes.
- I pay $10 per accepted quality question; I do not pay for questions I can’t use.
Steps for writing each question:
- Write each question with a specific domain from the exam in mind.
- The questions should be written to test knowledge from the domain, and they should focus on a single topic rather than trying to test multiple concepts at once.
- Write the question and the right answer. Write 3 plausible distractors, 1 of them should be a possible answer, but a less right answer. Distractors should not be made-up words or phrases, and they should appear to be possible alternatives to an inexperienced professional.
- Try to make answer options about the same length, of similar construction and look.
- Write a thorough explanation of why the correct answer is right, as well as why each distractor is not the right answer.
- Please avoid:
- Vague words like frequently, rarely and other ambiguous words.
- Absolutes (always, never).
- Vendor specific questions.
- Answers with “None of these”, “A and B” or similar.
- True/False statements.
- Include any reference sources that support the right answer (at least 1 reference per question). Any reputable reference is acceptable, if it teaches best practice and supports your answer.
