Hello, The CISSP exam is the most abstract exam I've ever taken. The best advice I can give you is to communicate with other CISSP's, take practice exams, and any reading material you can get a hold of. Focus on any area your weak in. Many people are weak in encryption. - During the exam you should be able to identify 2 wrong answers (almost always) for each question. - Take your time. You have plenty of it to decide on the BEST answer. The way I took the exam was: - I went through each question and for those questions I immediately knew the answer to I answered it. If I have doubts, I skipped it and came back to it. - On my second time through the questions I took a harder look at those questions I skipped the first time through. Where possible, I marked off the 2 "wrong" answers. At this point I didn't answer the question; I only wanted to mark off what I knew were the "wrong" answers. - On my third time trough I selected the BEST answer from the remaining answers. This takes some time but remember you have plenty of time. - The last thing I did was go through each question and validate my answers. Even after the methodical process I went through there were still a few questions I'm sure could have gone either way but I didn't want to risk second guessing myself at this point. As a matter of fact it was at this point I realized I had forgotten to answer a question completely so I'm glad I took this extra time to read each question one last time. Good luck, Mark D.
