Think like a manager
Everyone,
One of the suggestions I see often to help with understanding the exam is to "think like a manager". What that means to me, is to consider cost/benefit, mostly non-technical/specific, and to weigh decision impacts on the rest of the business. Can you give me any more pointers? I'm taking the CISSP exam this saturday.........

i.e. if you suspect you're under attack or there's a virus outbreak, don't act on impulse, but follow IH/IR procedures.
There are many questions that have multiple correct answers, and you're instructed to choose the best. Make sure that the one you pick best satisfies all aspects of the question.
The running theme throughout this exam is IT Governance in a Business environment held accountable to laws and regulation.
When in doubt...
#1 safety
#2 following laws and regulations
#3 best interest of the company

Also, do the CISSP gods require a live chicken sacrifice??

"Say you have a hypothetical question in which the building is literally burning to the ground. Pick the correct answer:
1.) Pull the fire alarm
2.) Evacuate personnel
3.) Shut off utilities
4.) Get management's approval before calling 911"
If you picked 4 you're thinking like a CISSP

I think this is a bad example. As per readings, safety and humanitarian aid/assistance should always come first as its part of emergency response.

No kidding, it's a joke. Your sarcasm detector is broken.

The joke would have been more relevant if that was the correct answer. Picking answer #4 is in no way thinking like a CISSP, as that would be a wrong answer, hence why I stated this was a bad example to use. My "sarcasm detector" is not "broken". This site is used by a lot of people who come on here looking for guidance and to elaborate on certain concepts. Things like this can end up causing some confusion.

A guy next to me finished in less than 3 hours. It took me 4.5 hours, with 3 exam passes and quadruple-checking the bubbles. Afterward I was gasping for air like being underwater a little longer than humanly possible. I don't know if I could sit any longer with a brain freeze like that.
