CISSP passed, first attempt

Passed the CISSP today, first attempt.

I'm not the best at summarizing but I'll try.

Resources: Exam Cram, Conrad's 11th hour, cccure quiz engine and Shon Harris Practice Exams.

Time spent studying/doing questions: 5-6 hours a day for about a month.

Average score on practice exams a month before the exam: Low 60s.

Average score on practice exams the day before the exam: Low 80s.

Actual exam observations:

A lot more emphasis on Physical than I had anticipated or prepared for. A lot less emphasis on Architecture and Networking than I had anticipated or prepared for.

My expectations on other domains were more or less met. I had focused about 80% of my study time on Access Control, Arch, Networking, BCP/DR and Risk. Of the remaining 5 domains, the only one I can say I neglected to study was Physical.

Totally!

And I just got the email from ISC2 congratulating me too, so I'm hopefully well on my way to putting this behind me.
