I just passed my CISSP exams....
I just passed my CISSP exams.... to say that I am happy is an understatement. I am absolutely elated...!!!
I have worked in the IT industry a better part of 17 years… the last 15yrs in Network security. It might well be the reason that I believe I over-studied for the exams. It wasn't as tough as I expected.
The exam:
I was expecting to start the exam and be confronted with a peudo-greek-latin questions… instead they were relatively simple and straight forward. The very tough questions never came… I faced tougher questions in study than I did on the exams. I went through the whole exam twice, I checked and rechecked ever answer.
Study materials:
CBT Nuggets – revision aid, very good tho.
11th hour CISSP – Read this book twice, was my main book
Shon Harris CISSP AIO – Summary and questions only
CCCure (Paid) – Great for revision/cementing your knowledge.
Total Tester & McGraw Hill – Very good, better than CCCure in my opinion.
Now I need a new challenge...

I kind-of enjoy word usage and learned something new from your post. In the US we don't use the word "revision" in the context you used it above. Apparently, it is a British way of using the word -- interesting. Here are some good links: Thanks for the feedback and congrats!!...
