From you study experience
My fellow security professionals, we all have our different methods of studying but we all know when studying for the CISSP, it requires reading some CISSP book. I would like to get a consensus on the preferred CISSP book for a Primary source and a secondary source.

I primarily used #1, but I'd also recommend #3. When are you taking the exam? Good luck!Every day hurts, the last one kills. -

I used 1, 2, 3, & 5 Read them multiple times. Just did retake for the 3rd time Sunday. I am hoping this is the final attempt. This test is kicking my Arse. I have never been good at test taking even through school, I was one of the students that had to put in 110% while others put in 70% and did well. I would have to mention that 3 & 5 were probably the ones that I found easiest to understand and were right to the point without adding the extra fluff and bland humor that 1 had. When are you planning on testing again? -

Good thing is it should be CBT by then so you will get your results instantly. Good Luck!
Also I dont plan on touching another book until after July 14th. Gonna give myself a break while I wait for the results and after I get back from Costa Rica in July. Worst case scenerio I will hit it hard again then. -

I used 1 and 3 also. I read a chapter (domain) in Eric Congrad's book first then that domain again in AIO5. AIO goes into more details and I felt the details helped understanding certain topics. Also, manually made notes and reviewed them.
