Hello,

Well I have my exam scheduled for next week the 26th, getting nervous already. I have been through Shon Harris, CISSP for dummies and have had access to global knowledge course. Any study tips for the last week?

    GET NERVOUS!!

    Kidding. I say you make flash cards. they seem to help me alot. At the very least, you will reinforce the concepts in your mind (since writing helps retain memory).

    Tie all the concepts and domains together as much as possible. Acronyms, Anagrams also help with all the steps within the domains. Pray to one god, or do like I did and pray to all of them so as to cover your bases properly. :)

    I thought Eric Conrad's "Eleventh Hour Cissp: Study Guide" did a fairly good job of pulling all the ten domains together. If you're like me and didn't take notes then I'd recommend this as a good review alternative.

    Eleventh Hour CISSP: Study Guide (Syngress Eleventh Hour): Eric Conrad,Seth Misenar,Joshua Feldman: 9781597495660: Amazon.com: Books

    Otherwise, I'd concentrate on your known weak areas that you divined by taking a myriad of practive tests. Good luck to you!

    I used Eric Conrad's Eleventh Hour book for the last week of studying. The format helped me get a fair amount of the information needed in a compact read. Also did two 250 question cccure tests just to give me a rough idea of the domains I really needed to focus on.

    Cultivate confidence (even if you have to fake it.) It helps you relax and perform better.
    Feel the fear, and do it anyway!

    10 days to my test! I already gone through AIO couple of times and different study guide quiz along with Cccure.org paid quiz. Now, I am going through CISSP for dummies and Exam cram questions.

    Any suggestions that may help me?

    Thanks
