There were a lot of definitions to know and for some of the questions you had to know the exact "textbook" definition, there was also a lot of items that I focused my study on were not included in the test. Some questions dealt with what type of encryption algorithm was created when. There were a few questions on business continuity. I'd say there were a good 25% of the questions that I wasn't 100% sure on. The problem I had with software was the calculator didn't work for the only math question. The employee at the testing facility, said I should contact CompTia regarding that. Study materials used: Sybex Book, All-in-one book, Cram Book and questions. Shon Harris CISSP videos, yes, CISSP The main thing is the questions that came with the books were for the most part not similar with what was on the exam, the best advice I can give is to spend as much time, or more, on definitions (IE flashcards) as you do on the practice questions. I'm done for the year, and plan to start next year with either the CISSP or CCNA (probably the CCNA)
