Hi All,
yesterday, I got the mail about my exam clearence. Thanks to
God and this forum specially to cccure.org. It is really a challenging
exam... no question about it.I was not expecting it that much
difficult.Also before appearing the exam my perception was that 6
hours is too much time but infact it is just sufficient.
As well as the debate about cccure.org quiz is concern i would highly
recommend it for those who are appearing in the exam. The questions in
the exam are very tough as compared to the cccure.org quiz and are
entirely different but at the same time you can't think of passing the
exam without taking this quiz. I mean cccure.org quiz boost your
knowledge upto the level which is expected in the exam. I hope i have
made my point clear..
I started my preperation, three months before appearing in the exam.
Shon Harris is best for warm up session, Krutz should be the second
step and then google. I think these two books provided me the
foundation layer by layer and google provided me the actual
staructure.During these three months my home page was www.cccure.org
I have five years of Telecom and Network design/troubleshooting
expereince but even then some of the questions in the exam from this
domain took plenty of my time.
Once again thanks to all of you and best of luck to those who are
going for CISSP. Also any body can guide me how much time in actaul
they take to send you the certificate.

Good day to all,
I think that most people are putting too much emphasis on having the exact
same questions on the practice quizzes as the real exam. The only way to
achieve such a goal would be by stealing real questions and posting them
publicly which I will never do.
For the important point to look at when you take practice quizzes is whether
the quiz is validating your knowledge of the material or not, where the quiz
is challenging or not, whether the quiz cover the key concepts of not.
I have taken my CISSP exam over six years ago and the questions format did
change a bit over time. Lately they have done trial with scenario based
questions; you can expect this type of questions in the near future on the
exam. However, if you do know your concepts, it does not matter what the
question looks like you will be able to answer it if you have mastered the
concepts.
An of course, we always accept contributed questions from all. I am not
telling you to break you NDA but simply telling you that I am fully open to
suggestions on how to make them better.
Best regards and congratulation on your CISSP achievement.
Clement
Finally, if you think the cccure materials are off-base, remember that
all materials are created by volunteers. I'm not saying this to defend
them, rather to say that YOU can submit updated questions. Clement
Dupois, the creator of that site, is a co-moderator on this list, so
look for one of his postings and write him offline, or I believe there
is a contact link at the cccure.org website.
Your local ISSA chapter probably needs volunteers as well. So go out
there and Do Some Good. :-) KW
