16 April 2011
Wake up early, take breakfast drive safely to the exam venue.
Some advice :
Make sure your car is alright before go to sleep.
Print additional admission doc and put in car just in case.
Bring snack or small bread or drinks.
Don't bring dictionary (Only word to word translation allow) no time for that.
Don't spend more then 2 minutes per question.
Straight apply answer on the answer sheet.
Don't over analyze the question or answer.
When complete check name, isc@ no and email.
Go through question and try not to change any answer.

I finished in 4 hours and 45 minutes, 1 hour to look over some questions about 45 only.
I decided not to look over every question. As key reminder that first answer is normally correct.
Remember the rules is about management......when u see answer with technical or mgmt...

I had not see the question in the exam in any of the practise test.
The practise test is only good for concept and tune yourself in CISSP exam mode.

    I was wondering that too. I think he may have meant 6/16/11 and 6/17/11 but not sure. :)

    Congrats.

    I also concur that no practice questions will be like what you get on the actual exam. The best you can do is get the concepts down pat, and mark your answers with confidence.
