In doing the CCCure/Sybex tests I pretty much only miss the granular questions or some vague model question. I'm tempted to just walk in and take the test but don't want to risk a possible fail and the money associated with it. Any recommendations on a measurement that indicates a high pass probability? If I can do 200 CCCure questions at 90% or the same on the Sybex test questions? Do I really have to know Bell-LaPadula's birthdays or is knowing what they created good enough? Thanks for any insight ... really trying to figure out if I already have the CISSP knowledge based on my other certs. Thanks ... btw SCCP, CISA, CISM is not getting me past HR because the job I want has a specific CISSP requirement.

Anything under requirements is really something you need to have or your resume will be tossed to the side.... it is like applying for a CCNA job but you only have Net+..... its not gonna work. Having CISSP knowledge but you dont have the cert? That does not matter. I can have CCNA, and RHCSA knowledge but it doesn't matter to employers if I do not have the certs.
