CISSP Exam preparation

[sireesha]

Hi All,

I am new to this group. Is anyone getting ready for the CISSP certification?

[JoshuaL]

Hello! I'm open to connect. Let me know what are your thoughts on how you'd like to structure it.

Hello Sireesha,

I am preparing for CC and CISSP.

Level 1 of Chapters and Domains completed

Signed up with Flashcards and adding knowledge.

How is it going with you?

Same here. Done with domain 1 today, which for me is the hardest. Still a lot to go until exam in beginning of November though! (I study after work and in weekends.) How is it going?

Right now, I am looking at sunflower cissp layout version 2.0 Maarten de Frankrijker, revised by Christian Reina, second revision by Steve Warnock. Which I retrieved from my archive documents and mostly referring to youtube videos for additional tutorial. 

Checking if you/we have any enhanced/latest versions of sunflower cissp layout? Meanwhile, I am thinking to read the entire official study guide again, domain wise to prepare further.

@ArunRamesh I would recommend against YouTube videos as they often do not align with the actual exam objectives. The exception to that would be Prabh Nair’s Coffee Shots. I would also recommend Luke Ahmed’s How to Think Like a Manager. It better helps frame the mindset needed to answer exam questions correctly. If you have not done the CC, it is a good starting point to better prepare for the CISSP.

[ArunRamesh]

Yes, Thank you for suggestion.

I started referring to Prabh Nair’s Coffee Shots and looks good. I hope under drop down menu CISSP> Importance resource 2022 stands good for reference to take the exams in revised content in 2025?

@nkeaton Luke Ahmed is good learning. I finished kindle version of 169 pages.

@ArunRamesh. I know Luke and think the World of him and his training. I did find his How to Think Like a Manager really helped frame the mindset needed to answer the questions correctly for the CISSP. I did not use anything else of his but know that his practice questions are one of four would suggest. I used Wentz Wu’s. The other two are Thor’s and Boson.
