More Material

Hello All,

I am currently studying for the CISSP exam, I already read AIO v5 and now I am looking for another source of material. Can someone refer me to another source?

I plan on taking the exam Dec 17, 2011 (hopefully) in the Philadelphia, PA area. I was thinking of purchasing either the Official ISC2 guide to the CISSP CBK by Harold F. Tipton or the CISSP AND CAP prep guide: platinum edition. Not sure though

Thanks in advance!!

I have the CISSP for Dummies and it's a good read to round out the edges and reinforce the main concepts and materials.

I highly recommend the (ISC)2 CISSP Official Study Guide 2nd ed. I also recommend that you read my blog articles for more ideas:

Just received my ISC2 book in the mail. I have four months to study, not too worry yet!!! I think I will start losing my mind around Nov.

I am going to start studying one domain at a time, take a ton of practice questions, then go back and study some more the domains that I am having trouble with.

Be sure to search for supplemental study information on the Web for topics in the book that you don't completely understand. The CISSP is one of those certs where there is no single source of information that covers all possible topics that you may encounter on the exam.

I read Shon Harris AIO, now reading the ISC2, I am going to look through some NIST docs. I was thinking about buying the CISSP for dummies for my final review.

Thanks for your blog, it has really been helpful. I will keep you posted on my progress.

Your final review should be using your own notes. I recommend reading through the study material, high-lighting the factual information, and copying the high-lights to your study notes. The last two weeks before the exam, you should be studying only from your notes, as they will represent the boiled-down information you will need in your brain for the exam.
