I am compiling a strategy to tackle the CISSP. Part of my strategy is to study specifics of the test (tast taking strategies specific for CISSP) ie: Answer elimination, Break strategies, Domain weights, Question frequency etc...
So far what I have gathered is that the test is broken-down like this.
Actual Test Knowledge: 85%
CISSP test taking knowledge: 15%
Is this about correct?

Test taking strategy accounts for no less that 30% of the exam... That is why its almost impossible to have just technical knowledge and pass the exam.
Test taking strategy includes: understanding the question, how to tackle the question, elimination, prudent-man/manager thinking, answer reviews/passes, break strategies, timing...etc.2015 Goals: ISO27001:Lead Auditor COLOR=#FF0000]Passed[/COLOR...

Many people loose track of time as they become mentally fatigued by the duration and content of the exam. When this happens, your concentration will inevitably wander and eventually you will not not care about doing your best. Intensely practice groups of 300+ practice questions to condition your brain muscles so the actual exam won't be so mentally exhausting.

Could someone kindly explain to me what break strategies they are referring to? Taking a break every hour during the exam to refocus and perform a time check?
Where would one find details around domain weights, question frequency etc? -

it is really depends on your mental endurance. Personally i can say, i take 2 breaks and no more than 5 min. Finished all questions in 4 and a half hour and made one solid pass from all questions from rest of time. Somewhere in exam everything is getting confused it means concentration level is getting down and it is time to take break and flush
Good luck.2014 Goals CISSP COLOR=#008000]Passed[/COLOR, 2015 Goals CISM COLOR=#ff0000]June[/COLOR
