EXAM IMPRESSION
The exam is tough. You need to study understand the concepts. Don't think too deep about the questions think from high level perspective. Apply common sense + security sense. There are mix bag of questions some simple and some requiring implementing the knowledge.

Could you share some thoughts on what sort of questions did you get and what CISSP candidates should focus and not focus on?
If you can PM me, that would be great. Thanks.OSCP: Loading . . . -

I cannot share specific details but I would say the test was fair. Each question require thinking and application of security principles. Each and every word is there for a reason so read the questions carefully. After reading this forum and other blogs i was mentally prepared to see questions which won't be straight forward and will require in depth understanding on concepts.
