Study Guide and Practice Test Editions

[Sharpblunt]

Hi There

I recently started studying the ISC2 Official Study Guide 8th edition and Official Practice Tests 2nd edition. I've just seen now that there is a 9th edition of the Study guide and 3rd edition of the Practice Tests, does it matter if I keep studying the previous editions or should I get the new editions? How big is the difference in content?

Problem is I live in South Africa so I'd need to import the books which will take a couple weeks and will be pricey. I work in System Administration so so far the first 2 domains I am proficient in due to experience. 

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Kind Regards

Jon

Hi @Sharpblunt 

The changes to the exam are minor this time and older materials are still quite relevant.

Hello,

I am planning to start on the CISSP material, I wanted to confirm if the 8th edition will suffice for the current exam material or if i should get the 9th edition.

thanks!
