in SSCP
Finally, I've put this beast to rest; I'll keep this short and concise:
Books:
Practice Exams:
Supplemental:
Tips:
With all that being said, that's a wrap. I'm so looking forward to getting my nights and weekends back (at least for now)...
Books:
- Eric Conrad CISSP Study Guide
- Eric Conrad 11th Hour
- Shon Harris CISSP All-in-One
- Darril Gibson CISSP Rapid Review
Practice Exams:
- cccure.org
- studIScope
- cisspexampractice.com
- Total Tester
- Practice exams in books above
Supplemental:
- Keith Barker - CBT Nuggets
Tips:
- As many have said before, this is a management-centric exam. Factor in budget, communication, and organizational goals into your answer selection process.
- Know your concepts: Why was this created? What did it supersede and why?
- Re-read the questions. Re-read the questions. Re-read the questions.
- Simulations will probably be more challenging then you think. Focus on the question and tune out the noise.
- Schedule your exam in advance. Your testing centers may be more booked than you anticipate.
With all that being said, that's a wrap. I'm so looking forward to getting my nights and weekends back (at least for now)...

I like how you said you'll get your weekends and nights back, but then you realize wait I'm going to start up another cert soon. Cheers to that mate!!

Thanks fellas! Up next is the start of my Masters, CASP or SSCP, some Qualys/Splunk training/exploration, a forensics (FTK/EnCase) and or an incident response certification (GCIH), and the build out of my own security lab in between. As far as this upcoming weekend, my plan is to do nothing more than feast like a king (Brazilian steakhouses, watch out) and catch up on some much needed sleep!
One day my man! That's the goal that keeps me driven.
Did you feel like the CBT Nuggets were helpful?
What'd you think of the books and practice exams?
Thanks
In Progress: Not sure...
It is your personal IPS to stop the attack.
Thank you for the review.
I also want to begin with CISSP.
I just finished SSCP.
They're useful to help supplement the reading and visualize moving parts and concepts that may be otherwise challenging to understand. However, there are major (major) knowledge gaps in the videos and I would only recommend they're used to support other studying materials.
