CISSP Study Strategy?

I do fine on tests as long as I adequately prepare. I have the required experience but a few of the domains I don't have that much experience with. I already have the Harris book and have been moving through it. How long did you all study for prior to taking the exam? I realize this is probably a wide range of time but I am just curious.

For whatever reason, I simply cannot cram. It gets way too garbled and confused when I try... So I take a slow & steady approach... it's the only thing I've found that works. My local ISSA chapter has a once a week meeting where we go over each domain for about two hours. It's a slow burn... not a boot camp at all. It's *exactly* the approach I need. And they claim the pass rate for those who take the test is well over 90%!! One thing that I found most helpful -- and that I've carried over to other cert studies -- is to set aside only a half hour each day to do nothing else but study for the task at hand. The catch is (for me at least) it HAS to be the same time slot. After about a week or two, it's habit. HTH, Good luck on the CISSP! You can do it. - Mick On Thu, Jun 3, 2010 at 11:17 AM, Craig Freyman <craigfreyman at gmail.com> wrote:What are some of the strategies people have used to pass the exam? Anyone use one of the "boot camps?"
