    I really liked the Syngress book. The practice tests from cccure.org are also very helpful.

    Vigi, for me, the following resources did the trick:

    *Official CISSP CBK
    *Shon Harris' AIO
    *CISSP Study Guide by Stewart, Tittel and Chapple
    *Shon Harris audio summaries (available as part of a box set with the AIO guide and practice tests)
    *11th Hour CISSP
    *CCCure.org online questions
    *StudISCope online questions

    I'll admit that I didn't read the Harris and Stewart books from cover to cover. I was getting overwhelmed with the amount of material, especially having come directly from preparing for and taking the SSCP. Near the end, I started jumping around quite a bit and relied more on the concise 11th Hour book than the more comprehensive guides.

    CISSP Study Guide -Eric Conrad & Youtube tutorials

    Only book I read cover to cover. Bought Shon Harris AIO however it just collected dust. I opened it maybe 4 times to find answers.

    Vigi,

    Do the following:

    1> Read Shon first: understand the concepts, prepare extensive notes while reading this. This will help you in last 5 days.
    2> go for CCCure.
    3> Now that you understand the concepts and the type of questions expected, try now CBK
    (after reading shon and the cccure, it will actually make sense)
    4> do all the test from the studyscope(passing them will boost your confidence)

    it worked for me. Check my blog at
