CISSP Study Guide

I will be taking the CISSP Exam for the second time. Failed last year with poor mark.
My study Plan is below:

Shon Harris AIO 5th Edition book, Plus free exam questions from the cd.
800 Practise Exam exam from CISSP Questions to practice for your CISSP CBK Certification Exam. Courtesy of CISSPExamPractice.com
750 Practise Exam exam from CompTIA A+ Certification, CCNA Training, MCITP and MCSE Training & More
will be purchasing more paid practise exam from https://www.freepracticetests.org/quiz/index.php#

I have been studying very Intensively for the last 8 Months. I'm self funding the whole exams and will be really dissapointed if i don;t pass this time.
Can anyone please recommend me if the is the correct study plan and also some good practise exams?
I need to see some real exam type practise exam questions.

I will appreciate all your feedback on this.

Good luck to you. I just took the test today and probably failed. I here the CCCcure: cissp CISSP training Certified Information Systems Security Professional Harris' website: Shon Harris, CISSP | CISSP Training Courses, Boot Camps, Resources | CISSP, CISA, CBT Certification Training also have practice exams. I think the best thing to do is go over the areas you're having difficulty with and test in that.

The single best set of practice exams is the studISCope material from (ISC)2. The exam items are written specifically for teaching the concepts of the (ISC)2 exams.

I would also suggest that you use more study resources than just AIO5. It's a good book, but it hardly provides a complete coverage and details of all topics in all CISSP CBK domains (no single book does). The CISSP CBK Official Guide is a good one, as is the more general articles in the Information Security Security Handbook series.

Finally, study the CISSP CBK material to actually learn and understand the information and not just to pass the exam. Think of how the information is applied in the real world. You should be taking detailed notes and spend the final two weeks before the exam only studying the boiled-down information you've written in your notes.

After eight month you are probably pretty sick of the CISSP CBK, but a shift in how, where, and when you have been studying may help keep your focus and momentum up.
