Transcender Cissp effectiveness

slinuxuzer

I have finally finished the all-in-one from shon harris, it was a difficult read which was not helped by my job being up in the air and other things in my personal life. I would rate my knowledge retention a 7 out of 10 plus or minus.

I have bought transcender for this exam (as I did for almost all Ms exams) I started taking some practice tests an after about the first six 50 question test's that I am taking I am averaging about 66% wich being that I haven't gone back and done any re-study yet (and I took some significant breaks from reading this book) I feel that is great.

Can anyone give me an idea how usefull / how close the transcender is for the cissp? In my past experience it has been crucial to help me pinpoint my weak spots for MS, but this is the first non-ms exam other than security+ I have taken in almost five years.

Thanks for all your help

I used practice questions from a few different vendors including Transcenders. I would rate their CISSP material as above average. I bought the one month of online access.

I don't think any practice questions will accurately emulate the test, but the official practice tests were actually very good in my opinion if you can afford the hefty price tag.

Thanks larry, thats good to hear especially after I read some random crack pot post about how it wasn't that good for cissp, (post was two years old) but I bought it anyway since I have had such a good experience with their products in the past.

All CISSP practice exams should only be used to test your knowledge of individual exam topics and not your actual readiness to take the CISSP exam. No practice exam is a good simulation of the actual CISSP exam; practice exam items are usually fact-based and lack the complexity. Don't think that you are ready to take the CISSP exam because you are consistently scoring above a certain percentage on practice exams. If you are comfortable using the exam objectives in technical conversations with other people, and without referring to your notes, then you are ready.
