ISSAP Practice Exams - Recommendations?

in SSCP
I'm studying for the ISSAP exam*, hope to take it sometime Q1 of this year.
Can anyone who's passed the exam recommend practice exams - which ones you found helpful, which ones were not?
I did a cursory forum search for ISSAP Practice Exam, but couldn't find another thread for this.
*study guides on my desk at the moment:
1. Official ISC2 Guide to the ISSAP CBK
2. Security Engineering - Ross Anderson
3. Enterprise Security Architecture: A Business Drive Approach

I just passed my ISSAP, I would highly recommend using the official Study guide. I was lucky enough for my company to pay for a boot camp training, which was mediocre at best. If you are a CISSP working in the Security engineering field then you should have no problems passing the course.
Settle on one of the tougher quiz books for review material and look up anything that doesn't immediately come to mind.
Its definitely tougher than the CISSP and took me almost as long to complete as the CISSP.

Also which quiz books did you use?
Nice list of downloadable .PDFs there as well. Read those first. Everything else is pretty secondary if its not in your library already. Though I suspect many of those tomes are now available digitally thus cheaper.
Speaking of which. Looks like a nice weekend to hit the book recycle bins again. Maybe recycle some hardware at Best Buy as well. Good point, thanks for the reminder folks!

By possible task questions, you mean you've been sent the possible future test questions?. And the downloadable PDF files, by this I'm presuming you mean that are listed in the official book bibliography?.
Pardon the idiot level questions, I'm new around here.
That would be the point of sending an update to current concentration holders, yeah. First they ask if there is anything we missed in the battery of tasks, next step is to ask the same group to write new and ingenious possible exam questions for review and CPEs to boot. Clarifying above, listed two solid tasks that should be included in the exam, three that were covered elsewhere in the potential tasks.
Truth is there aren't that many active, in good standing, concentration holders from the past 15 years of the program in the first place to get a really large sample to work with. And face it, there is really no need to go further than the CISSP in the first place. These concentrations never really took off as far as market acceptance or demand are concerned. Perhaps that will change in the future - who knows.
We do this every couple of years, if your counting - odd years with an update on in the third year (2016).
Now, if you'll excuse me I am off to finish the last two crypto questions I half wrote for submission the other day for submission of course.
