First of all I'd like to thank all members in this forum.This site has been informative and encouraging.

To prepare for the exam I used the following resources.
CBT nuggets by Keith Barker
Eric Conrad, CISSP Study Guide 2nd Ed. (primary source)
Sybex CISSP Certified Information Systems Security ProfessionalStudy by Guide Daryl Gibson (secondary source)
Shon Harris AIO 6th (Mostly for reference)
Shon Harris Audio (driving to and from work)
Eric Conrad Eleventh Hour CISSP (read the bookback to back the day before the exam)
McGraw hill exam and all the question inthe above mentioned books.
Sybex CISSP tests (3sets of 250 question, good to buildstamina)

As has been mentioned before it is a management and cognitiveexam. I spend a lot of time memorizing technology related facts (i.e. Encryptionkey size, OSI layer protocols, COSO, ITIl,…), which was not needed. Learningthe whys and the steps is more relevant than the hows.

It would have been very hard to get readyfor this test without this forum, and I greatly appreciate all the forum participants.
