Hello all,
I wanted to post to mainly say thank you to all that have shared their experience and what avenues worked best for them. I live out of my home state during the week, so I do a 18 hours of driving each week back and forth to my work state and home state. During that time, I took advantage of the Shon Harris .mp3 downloads on the McGraw site, and just listen to them on the drive back and forth, this was a great way to reinforce reading the AIO.
Total Study time: 4 hours a day, 7 days a week for a month + 1 week.
Study Material:
AIO (read once, listen to .mp3 downloads on phone from McGraw site) (if you spend time in a car at all, use it)
McGraw questions (useful)
Total Tester (most useful)
Sunflower pdf (good overview, studied it night before test)
CISSP notes mentioned in previous posts (60+ pages) (used this as a review tool week leading up to test)
https://www.skillset.com/ (CISSP) - I found this to be in the weeds at times, but was a different question base (helpful)
This is from my view, but I found Shon Harris is all I needed for this exam, listening to the .mp3 to reinforce what I read, and taking test, after test, after test. I simulated exams, printed results, studied up on weak areas, repeat, until I got to the point where I had every question on the total tester down. I finished with all the questions in 80 minutes, went back on about 15 flagged questions, and clicked submit test right at the two hour mark.
Like I said, I dedicated a ton of time the last month to this, mainly because I drive so much, and I found the test to be simple, it isn't, but I was beyond prepared.
I would not have been ready for this test without this forum, and greatly appreciate all on here.
Package is all done now, sending off in the morning!
