In the same boat . Book is 12 years old .
I’m relying on additional books ( which is expensive to buy so bought used books from Amazon )
BCP/DR - Susan Snedaker
Federated Identity Primer - Derrick Rountree ( small book not very expensive hence bought new )
Cryptography- Bruce Schneier
Application security - Laura bell

I’m planning for December and not sure if I can read all these . I will rely on NIST as well plus Sherwood’s architecture book and some cloud materials from CSA

For me it is also very useful to have some practice exam questions? Are there any books that can help me with this? For CISSP I used the Sybex exam questions book which was very useful.

Yea sybex was the best for me too preparing CISSP however I could not find anything for ISSAP

The official ISSAP CBK book has practice questions at the end of each chapter.  My advice would be to just learn the material rather than do a lot of practice tests.  A paper based practice test might not help you as much now as the test are adaptive.

Are all the tests CAT now? I think some of them might just have removed the ability to review questions.

But yeah 100% understanding and learning rather than training tests.

@tldutton (an authoritative source on this topic) earlier stated: "On all of our exams, the CISSP computerized adaptive testing (CAT) exam AND all of the linear exams, you can't go back to a previous question.  You can also see the same answer in our FAQ section, https://www.isc2.org/Frequently-Asked-Questions.  Many of our current linear exams will move to CAT over the next few years."

Only CISSP is in CAT at this time - and only in English. But it is correct that questions cannot be skipped to return to. Whether a linear or CAT exam, you have to answer each question as it comes.

Do you mean "Enterprise Security Architecture: A Business-Driven Approach" 1st Edition (first released in 2005) by John Sherwood et al?
