CISSP Tips & Tricks
Well, I'm almost ready to take on the CISSP test, so I thought I'd throw out a question and see if anyone bites. Outside of the usual OSI model memonic (Please Do Not Trick Sisters Pet Animal), what tips do you use to remember things in the CISSP domain that aren't intuitive?
For example, Testing is an Administrative control (T-A), where as Auditing is a Technical Control (A-T). Whichever comes first, the second must be the opposite.
What else do you use to remember things, like the differences in EAL levels, when you don't regularly interact with them on the job?

As far as the specifics on each section, that may be a little more challenging. Hopefully someone has a better mechanism than I do.
Thanks in advance....
