*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.
Masters of Information Systems Management with Enterprise Information Security - Walden University
Masters of Science in Information Assurance - Western Governors University
Masters of Science Cyber Security/Digital Forensics - University of South Florida
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.
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
