Hello Selvaraj
Here's how I prepared for the exam. Since these are general tips, I'll
give something back to the community by opening the reply up to all the
other candidates on the forum as well.
My preparation was pretty straight forward: read through Shon Harris'
book at least four months before the exam and do the end of chapter
questions. Go over the answers I got wrong and try to understand why it
was the wrong answer, even though it may have seemed the right choice to
me at the time. A useful tip for the actual exam is to think like a
manager, since some of the strategic concepts are supposed to originate
from senior management.
I used the CD that came with the book and took the mock tests for each
domain at least twice. This helped me to get in the right pace for
answering 250 questions in six hours, since each test on the CD is
timed. Again, go over the answers you got wrong and understand the
reasoning behind why the "right" answer is, well, the right answer.
Several times it came down to a difference of opinion in what I
considered to be a more logical solution, but then I wasn't marking the
exam and after a few minute's thought I understood the author's
reasoning.
The CISSP site had some resources which proved very useful: the exam
cram guide for going over the main points of each domain and the twenty
or so exam questions. More than anything, by scoring a pass on those
questions, it gave me some confidence to face the actual exam.
Take a drink with you to the exam and something light to eat. Spare
pencils and a rubber. DON'T forget your photo ID and admission letter!
If you need to use a translation dictionary then it has to be approved
by the exam staff before it can be used.
Other than that, take your time and read each question through at least
twice.
All the best to you and our other candidates.
Regards
Clive.
