CISSP Study Advice

Greetings All,

I am preparing for the CISSP, I am planning on taking the actual test in June. I will have lots of time off to study and I will be able to attending a bootcamp the week prior to the test. I plan to devote at least 3-4 hours a day to study the material. Any extra material suggested will be much appreciated.

Books I have been given
CISSP: Shon Harris
CISSP: Practice: Vallabhaneni S. Rao
CISSP: Gibson, Darril
CISSP for Dummies

Thanks in advance

Eric Conrad's CISSP Study a Guide is another good resource. It was the only one I used.

How long did you study?

CISSP: Shon Harris

This is a great material - only one I used. DVD included with questions helped me a lot.

Study 2/3 hours a day and you'll get it - spent at least one one month before the exam on questions.

A 3 months prep should be good.

+1 on the Conrad Book. I would also recommend the Conrad 11th Hour Study Guide, its good to read in the days leading up to the test.

For practice tests the cccure.org questions helped me out a lot. Many others have posted of their success with that practice engine.

More than one quizzer. There's a few options, but get a different one to supplement the one with Shon's book.
