Passed CISSP

ohm

Hello Everyone,

I'm a long time lurker, first time poster.
I passed my CISSP exam recently.
It took me just under 5 hours with two breaks.
I used process of elimination and tried answering questions as a manager.
I flagged a lot of questions but only reviewed three questions before submitting my answers.
I did this because I started to change my answers during the review.
Instead I decided to trust my initial judgement that I chose the right answers.

Study Material:

CISSP Study Guide - Eric Conrad - read twice, practice tests.
Eleventh Hour CISSP: Study Guide - Eric Conrad - read once
CISSP Exam Cram - Michael Gregg - good book for figuring out your weak domains.

Before Exam:
Skimmed over CISSP Study Guide and did practice tests.
For some reason it felt like Eleventh Hour was missing some topics.
Study Guide Website 250 + 250 question exam tests.
Michael Overly study notes.

Food:
Coconut Water
Dark Chocolate
Banana

Other Study Material:
I tried Shon Harris AIO but found myself loosing concentration and interest in studying.
I think there's too much fluff, side tracking from main topics and too many corny jokes.
If you have problems concentrating I would suggest staying away from this book.

Cheers and good luck
