CISSP study material for 2012

JPCISSP2012

Hi there!

I have been planning to take CISSP next year. I have bought the following books :

- CBK
- Shon Harris 5th edition.

However, as the exam will be updated on January 1st 2012, I am confused whether I will be able to use the study material I have. I have seen that a new Shon Harris book will be released on FEB 10 2012. Will a new CBK be released too ? Should I buy the new Shon harris book ?

Please help me out!!

Check the ISC2 site. They have a new candidate information bulletin that addresses the changes.

Welcome aboard. You can also search here as your question has come up a couple of times in the last months.

they basically only changed the domain names for 2 of the domain names. 99% stayed the same.

I have read the shon harris book and the isc2 book and both were horrid, then I read the eric conrad book and it is way better.

THIS.

I used Conrad's book for my primary and went to the AIO for clarifications. Honestly, I could have used the Conrad book alone.

Yeah, both Conrad books (big book and the 11th hour) are pretty good. The Shon Harris book is an easy read with los o' fluff, where the official guide is a much drier read what tends to have more technical detail. For practice exams I felt the SSI book http://www.amazon.com/CISSP-Exam-Questions-Answers-Explanations/dp/0982576846/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1321316406&sr=8-6 was better than the Shon Harris practice exam book.
