Re: Best Preparation Materials for the CISSP Exam?

["Bradley, Stephen W. Mr." <bradlesw () MUOHIO EDU>]

I actually took a slightly different path.

I studied the CISSP books and the Security+ book and took the TruSecure TICSA test just for practice, passed it and got 
the cert (no longer available).  I then went to a week long training class for the cert and it really didn't help 
(although it did help me answer one question on PKI).  I spent the Friday night at the end of the class studying the 
CISSP books and the Security+ book and passed the CISSP exam on Saturday.

I found the Shon Harris CISSP Exam guide, the blue and gold fourth edition and the Official (ISC) guide from ISC Press 
to be of great value. Good luck

I used the Krutz and Vines book. There are lots of practice questions after each chapter and in the back. It takes a 
ton of dedication. I drove my family nuts for weeks on end. Good luck to you!

Hi All,

Does anybody have suggested materials (Books, CDs, etc.) for preparing for the CISSP exam?

Thanks,
