Back at it! CISSP

TechGuy215

Hello to all my TE brethren!

Its been several months since I've been on these forums as well as since I've prepped for an exam. There has been a lot of acquisitions in my company recently which resulted in domain migrations, re-allocation of IP address schemes, and physical/virtual migration of Data Centers.

Things have FINALLY calmed back down and once again I'm going after my CISSP.

Study Plans:

Hitting Erik Conrad and Shon Harris hard again, perusing my own notes from a few months ago, and using the sunflower .pdf as my last minute summarization. I plan to really hit it hard, dedicating at least 20 hours a week to studying and then sitting the exam in mid to late September.

Also, any input from those who took the new Exam format that started in 2014 would be great!!! Of course, without violating the NDA!

First, welcome back to the grind that is the CISSP.

The advice that many people on this forum give is to start off reading any of the "Passed the CISSP" and "Failed the CISSP" threads that you might have missed during your break. I agree with this advice - some of those threads are very educational.

In addition, I highly recommend this thread from EasyPeezy:

http://www.techexams.net/forums/isc-sscp-cissp/101664-so-you-want-cissp.html

I recommend you read it, think about it and go back and read it again. Excellent advice and a great starting point for anyone studying for the CISSP (like me!)

And if you don't know the website is, I highly recommend it cccure.org as well.

Hope this helps! Good luck with your studies.

Good luck with your studying.

I will be attending the exam September 8th, less than a month away. I will be happy to give my thought on the exam afterwards
