CISSP Exam: Nov 2008 Attempt

I am curious to see if anyone else is attempting to take the CISSP exam in November or around the end of the year? If you are scheduling your exam in this time frame please list the exam date, materials you are using to study, and/or whether or not you plan to take a review course before the exam. Feel free to post any other information such as words of advice/encouragement and I'll try to update the post as my exam date comes near. Good luck to all!

Exam Date: Tenatively Nov 15, 2008

Materials Used: Shon Harris All in One 4th Edition
Sybex CISSP 3rd Edition
Career Academy CISSP 2007 Platinum Edition

Review Course: None scheduled at this time. Unfortuantely work refused and the $3k out of pocket expense is a little steep at this time.

Additional Materials: CCCure.org and the suggestions from this forum!

OK, Part 2 is up: The CISSP Certification Experience: My Study Plan

Hi JD,

I will take the exam in March and I am using the questions in the cccure.org as a revision tools. But I found that their question is asking in details, e.g. how many time of swapping is requird in RC4.

May I know the exam, in term of the difficulty, will be similar to these question, or easier/more difficult. Or is there any question/material will be similar to the question in term of difficulty. I am dispirited with their question.

Thanks a lot.

The practice questions at freepracticetests.org are created by community contributors and do vary a lot in quality. There is no requirement that they be very similar to the style and format of the actual CISSP exam questions. Some of the questions there are more technical that what you will see on the CISSP exam.

I would suggest learning about the basic technical parameters of security technologies and not to worry about very technical details.
