i have learnt lots of things from this knowledgeable forum regarding preparing and appearing for this very tough IT certs in Information security Domain.

I decided for this exam almost two years back & bought the Shon harris 5th edition ,but due to some personal issues i couldnt go on .

My Background: i am having a almost 8+ years of experience in core networking & security domain with a degree in Information technology engineering.with a bundle of others network certificates i.e CCNA, CCNP, ITILV3, CEH, JNCIA,JNCIS, MCP.

My reading materials:-

Short notes:-

1.) Prepared by myself.

3.) Combined notes ( found from this fourum).
4.) CBK domain notes from Syed Asad Ali ( found from this fourum).

Practice Test:

2.) Macgraw hills website .
3.) skillset .

Exam experience:-I managed to finish my exam in 5 hours 50 minutes .. took two unscheduled break in between 100 & 200 question .Spent last 100 minutes for reviewing my flag question . i have flag almost 30 question & changed my answer for 8-9 question.Got variety of questions from almost all domains .. without intense reading & knowing the material no one can give the perfect answer.

Now moving on a endorsement second part for achieving the certs.wishing best of luk for all the CISSP aspirents.&

thanks a lot to all the guys who keep updating their experience in this forum.

    Congrats.

    I really appreciate it when people who have taken the test recently reveal how they did it, as I get people asking me how to get it done, and one of the first place I go for information is techexams.net, and look for the more recent passed posts, to see what resources are utilized. :)

    How much experience do you have in information security? Second, what would you recommend for those who has very little or no experience with information security.
