in SSCP
Took the CISSP in Houston on May 8th. Just got the email that I passed.

I'm kind of shocked actually given how little studying I did. 3 days I think? Cracked open the Shon Harris v5 book for the first time on May 3rd. Read the chapters on InfoSec and Risk Management, Access Control, Security Architectures, and BCP/DRP once. Skimmed the other chapters.

I was convinced that I failed--I even bought the Official Study Guide cause I was pretty sure I was going to be taking it again--and I found the Shon Harris book awful at times.

I guess this means real-world experience goes a long way.

    Wow, I would guess that you must have had someone else pay for your test......I did it out of my own pocket and got the passed email today as well.....and you're right, experience does go along ways, congrats.

    Did you sit in on a boot camp before the exam? If so, which company provided the training?
