Only concern I have is there isn't much correlation between the 1984 study and the 2015 CISSP exam. Would love to see the statistics the ISC2 keeps on changes. That would really tell us if it's worth changing answers or not.
Hope we can get some data from (ISC)2 as this will be helpful to all.
It is your personal IPS to stop the attack.
I took the advice from others on here and closed the books the day before the test.
Took a day to rest and relax before the morning of the 6 hour marathon.
I will agree with you in regards to preparing way beforehand. I never studied for anything that frequent and intently and I'm sure that's why it didn't seem too difficult.
Thanks for sharing your experience. There will never be a right or wrong way and there are things that work for us that might not for others.
I agree with you that preparing ahead helps always.
That is an interesting study.
thanks for your tips.
