Congrats! What did you differently this last time around as opposed to the first tries? Did you change your study method or was it just that you needed to invest more time in the material? I am curious about your experience. Congrats again!

My first attempt was in April used Conrad Study Guide 2nd E as it was the only resource available to me at that time and more over i attempted the exam with a technical mindset

The second attempt was in August i referred Shon Harris sixth edition (2013) and Conrad Study Guide 2nd E and got 696 ...it was a very terrible feeling coming so close and losing it out.. i was totally dishearten...managing a 24/7 Job and studying was getting quite hectic and wait period of 3 months was a torture

This time around i used the same resources only thing i changed was my approach towards attempting the questions....Where it needs to be technical i was technical and questions which needed managerial skills i approached those with the same attitude ..... Refer all the materials that would be available as it helps you to understand the concepts better and clear .... and don't forget about practice tests they help you to understand your weak areas. Wish You a Best of Luck Bro hope my experience would be helpful to you and all those who are planing for CISSP. There are lots of success stories on the forum which shows determination and hard work that people put in to be a CISSP

Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!:D

Many Congrats to you on your success... I have a paid membership of cccure. I noticed someone mentioning doing 4000+ questions from the cccure paid test engine. I only see 1500+ questions in my membership, with many of them seem to be outdated and many do not covering the topics covered in shon harris and Eric Conard.. What do you think is the best source for practicing tests ?I have a possession of the following - Show Harris questions - mhprofessional.com/sites/CISSPExamsShon Harris Question Book. Exercises at the end of each chapter in Shon Harris 6th edition.cccure Paid Membership. I am working and have 20 days remaining for my exam. Can someone guide me in making the best of the remaining time. Many thanks! Do you think doing the above questions will help revising the complete topics? I have read Shon Harris (5th and 6th - once each)twice but over a long time and Eric Conard 1st edition.
