Re: [CISSP-D] new guide

Hi,

I agree with you there is no perfect book. However I think that reading several 
books helps you gaining what is required of CISSP : a broad understanding of 
all information security domains.

This is what I did:

1) Two months before the exam, I thoroughly read :
- Sybex CISSP guide (good book but sometimes not precise enough - especially 
for cryptography aspects)
- The CISSP Prep Guide: Gold Edition (to my mind the best book)
- Contrary to a lot of people, I didn't appreciate Shon Harris' book as it was 
too verbose for me.

2) One month before the exam, I attended the official study seminar. I really 
appreciated having read the books before. It helped me knowing where to 
concentrate and I was able to ask in-depth questions to the instructor.

3) Two weeks before the exam, I started, to :
- Turn every page of the official guide to have a look and check I wasn't 
missing anything 
- Practice on every available test (CCCure...)
  I did one CBK domain every night.

4) Two days before the exam : 

- I did the practice test that was given with the official guide, just to have 
a clear idea of what was going to happen ;) I scored 80%.

And I finally passed ;)

Good luck to all of you !
Regards,

Gérôme
