Very timely subject for me. &nbsp=3BI'll be in Baltimore next week at SANS =
taking the cissp prep course. &nbsp=3BThen I'm taking the exam later in the=
 month. &nbsp=3BEmail me after next week and I can let you know what I thou=

reading all of the Shon Harris book=2C pretty much every available moment I=

ar topics=2C but areas like Risk Mgmt and Application Security are not=2C s=
o I need to work harder to prepare in those areas. &nbsp=3BI've taken the s=
ample questions at the end of each chapter and test questions at cccure.org=
. &nbsp=3BSo far they seem to indicate I'll do well. &nbsp=3BI'll be taking=
 the ones at the end of the ISC2 book after my boot camp. &nbsp=3B</div><di=

trying to give the best answer not necessarily the correct one. &nbsp=3B Di=

ing too much into a question=2C and think about "what are they really askin=
