The CISSP exam consists of 100-150 multiple-choice and advanced innovative questions. The duration of the exam is 3 hours, and it uses a Computerized Adaptive Testing (CAT) format. You need to score a minimum of 70% to pass this exam.  

   The CISSP exam has almost moved away from linear exam patterns for most locations. A computerized adaptive test works based on a backend algorithm that cumulatively evaluates your estimated proficiency level at each response from you. Which Questions you will be tested on is dynamically decided by the Realtime algorithm. Here is how the exam criteria work:

1. Confidence Interval Rule: Once you reach 100 Questions, if the estimated proficiency score is above 95%, you shall be declared a pass. If you score below 70%, the criteria will close the screen, and you will be declared as FAIL.

2. Maximum Length Exam Rule: If your score is between the passing baseline of 70% and below the Estimated Proficiency level of 95%, you have to face an additional 50 Operational questions. During this time, if at any point your score goes below the passing baseline of 70%, you shall be declared as a Fail. However, if you can complete all 50 questions and maintain a score above the passing baseline, you will be declared as PASS.

3. Run-Out-of-Time Rule: If you do not complete 150 questions within the stipulated 3 Hours, you shall automatically be declared FAIL

  Yes, you need to individually pass all the domains.
