CISSP - Cybrary Practice Tests?

I've got 18 days until my 1st attempt at CISSP, passed Security+ a month ago; I've worked 12 years as a Systems Engineer, MS in Physics, limited experience with IT security however.

I've read through the Sybex 7th Ed./Practice Tests, scoring in the 80's for the most part.

I'm going to go through the Cybrary Videos as well, is it worth it to purchase the associated practice tests?

Ok, sounds good. I should also mention I've studied for roughly 3 weeks so far.

Anyone who has taken the CAT - would you advise using the Cybrary Practice Tests?

Just for clarification, are you using this book as well as the Sybex 7th edition?

If so, the 1st edition book with the practice tests is probably the most accurate in terms of the kinds of questions you are going to encounter on the exam. I used this and it was a HUGE help. If you are using these, then getting the Cybrary practice tests may not be needed. Course, I have not used them before so it may be worth it. Either way, let us know if they provided value to you.

Correct - I've been through all of the tests in the practice test book and they seem to be more detailed and thought-out as compared to the Cybrary Tests which I just purchased and do not seem to be very well done. I may ask for a refund.
