Prep'ing for CISSP exam

tobascofred

Hey folks. I am scheduled for the exam on January 9, 2009. I have gone through Shon Harris's AIO twice, purchased Sybex CISSP book last Thursday - am going through it now. I understand and support the ICS2 ethicical code, but wanted to ask (within code) what others see as the "most emphasized" domains and "recommended knowledge retention areas" based upon their experience with the test. Thanks in advance.

In his CISSP Exam Overview, Clement Dupuis recommends studying the CISSP CBK domains in the following order of importance:

1. Risk Management
2. Access Control
3. Security Architecture
4. Telecom/NetSec
5. DRP/BCP
6. AppSec
7. Crypto
8. Legal
9. Physical
10. OpSec

The actual number of items from any domain that appears on any given CISSP exam will vary and will not necessarily follow this weighting.
