CISSP Study Strategy?

[craigfreyman at gmail.com (Craig Freyman)]

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.
