Passed CISSP exam!
All,
I really want to thank all the people (Admins/moderators/seniors/juniors) active on this forum who helped me achieve this goal. Special thanks to authors Shon Harris, Eric Conrad, and Clement Dupuis who helped me learn concepts and eventually crack this monster.
Six years ago, I took help of this forum to crack CCSP exams. From the bottom of my heart, I really want to thank all you guys who help the community accomplish their objectives.
For CISSP, it was a five months dedicated study - about 20 hours a week. As aforementioned, my primary source of learning was Shon Harris. Prepared my notes from it and revised them as I went along about 2-3 times before exam. I occasionally referred to Eric Conrad (which is also a good book) and CISSP for dummies. Also, about a week ago, referred to some youtube videos for unclear concepts. Purchased CCCure exams and practiced AIO DVD questions thoroughly. The exam is not difficult, but tricky. Importantly, have a good sleep before exam and don't forget your common sense on the day.
Thank you all!

@ SkyBlue:
Clarify all your doubts and stress upon learning "concepts". I agree that cramming may be required a little bit, but more importantly is the understanding of the concepts. That is, how that information is applied practically in a real life problem. For example, we know different security models, but in what scenario they are implemented, what problems they resolve, etc. is more important. There will be many scenario based questions, so cramming won't help there, conceptualized learning will. Don't stress too much on the day before exam. That is it and Good Luck! -

Learn the concepts and have a good understanding about them. Think of every concept/technology you learn in a practical way. That's it. Good luck!
