Now moving on a endorsement second part for achieving the certs.wishing best of luk for all the CISSP aspirents.&

Congrats.

I really appreciate it when people who have taken the test recently reveal how they did it, as I get people asking me how to get it done, and one of the first place I go for information is techexams.net, and look for the more recent passed posts, to see what resources are utilized.

How much experience do you have in information security? Second, what would you recommend for those who has very little or no experience with information security.

Sunflower pdf are dated. Would not be too much relevant to new CBK and restructuring of CISSP exam post 15 april.
