RE: [CISSP-D] Just Passed the Exam

Another important point to mention is that the exams (both CISSP and SSCP) 
ask the same questions in different ways a number of times. As I went back 
thru my answers after the first run-thru, I often knew the correct answer on 
the basis of HOW the question was posited, then went back to all the other 
places I'd sen that question and re-checked my answer(s), to assure I'd 
answered correctly each time the question had been asked. I changed a few 
answers as a result.

I did very little "formal" studying for the SSCP exam, using only this 
book....

Secured Computing: A SSCP Study Guide
by Carl F. Endorf (Paperback - August 2002)

but found it and my experience sufficient to do the trick. But, I have to 
agree with the previous writers that reading and re-reading the questions to 
understand exactly what they were asking for really made all the difference. 
In some skewed way, the exams are as much literacy tests as they are 
knowledge tests..."can you read and correctly interpret the data presented 
to you?"...but intrpreting/analyzing the facts (data) presented to you is 
also a critical part of being an information security professional, so it 
makes sense that the exams would try to capture a quantitative measure of 
your ability to logically interpret the data before you, too.

Bill
