Worked for me, but use it as a starting point
I passed the CISSP back in October after making this book a part of my daily routine for a good five months. It won’t fully prepare you for the test–nothing will–but it’s a great book to build your foundation. The practice questions in the main book and the companion book of test questions will help you lock in what you’ve learned, but they are not representative of the real questions on the test. While researching the test before I took it, I encountered someone who said that the practice questions in this book are like a cuddly kitten compared to the real test, which is a ferocious lion, and I would say that’s accurate.Here’s what I did to prepare for the test. Hopefully it will help you pass it too!1) Study this book. Do it daily. I devoted 1 hour every day during the week and ~4 hours on the weekend. I started in May 2022 and passed the test in October 2022, first try. You can definitely do it in less time than that, but I think aiming for 3 – 6 months is the sweet spot. If you can’t commit to doing it in under 6 months, now is probably not the right time for you to pursue the CISSP.2) After reading each chapter in the book, I would go back and re-read it looking for the highlighted key concepts, which I turned into flashcards. I made the flashcards myself on index cards. The process of reformulating a statement into a question and answer, and then writing that down on paper, helps you learn the material. It also pays off later when you’re ready to review everything.3) Do the practice questions at the end of each chapter!4) When you finish the book, go through all the practice tests in the companion book. That will help cement what you’ve learned and reveal where you need to review the most.5) Drill your flash cards! You should be doing that while you’re still going through the book, but step it up after you’re done with the book. Go through them all at least once. I recommend keeping them grouped by subject/domain, but also come up with a system for weeding out the easy ones so you spend more time on the hard ones. The flash cards took over my coffee table for five months, but it was worth it.6) I highly recommend watching CISSP videos while studying for the exam, and especially towards the end when you’re within a few weeks of taking the test. You can find good content on YouTube, and definitely take a look at everything Mike Chapple puts out. Mike Chapple is one of the coauthors of this book and he puts out some high-quality video content on YouTube. His LinkedIn Learning CISSP video series is pure gold and explains some of the concepts in this book better than the book explains it. He also runs a website you should check out. I didn’t use his practice exam or his last-minute review sheet, but they’re affordable and I’m willing to bet they’re helpful.7) >>> THE MOST IMPORTANT ADVICE <<< You need to get your hands on a practice test suite that actually mimics the style of the questions on the real test. I highly recommend the Boson test suite. They deserve the reputation they have. Their questions are easier than the real test, but they closely mimic the real thing, and that's invaluable.8) Find and watch YouTube videos that delve into the "think like a manager" aspect of the CISSP. People say that for a reason. There is plenty of technical subject matter that's fair game for the exam, so you need to know it, but it's not a technical exam. The CISSP is aimed at future CISOs. You will be setting policy, making decisions that balance business needs with security, and constantly dealing with constraints and considerations that make always doing the most secure thing in all circumstances an untenable rule of thumb. The test will hammer you with questions that try to trick you into doing the most secure thing when it's not warranted or that try to trick you into tackling a problem with a technical solution when a policy/procedure solution is the better option.9) Read up on the adaptive nature of the CISSP test. Make sure you know what to expect. Basically, the test starts out easy and ramps up in difficulty based on how you're doing. By the end of the test, they intend for you to get about half the questions wrong, so don't freak out. The end of the test will be brutal, and that's by design. Also, the adaptive nature of the test makes it so you can't go back to previous questions.10) I recommend scheduling the test in the morning. I took it in the afternoon and made that work, but do it in the morning if you can. Don't put off scheduling the exam! I would schedule it as soon as you're done with the book, 2-4 weeks out depending on how much time you can devote to review. You can easily reschedule if something comes up, but give yourself that deadline.11) On the night before the test and the day of the test, clear you mind, find your happy place, and just try to relax. Feed and water yourself. You know your stuff. You've got this.12) Expect to freak out at least once during the test. It deserves its reputation. Stay calm and remember your fundamentals. Think like a manager. Choose the answer that is even just slightly better than the others. Eliminate the bad answers first.Pace yourself and budget your time. Since you can't skip questions or go back, you can't just leave the difficult questions for the end. You need to answer the question before you can move on, but you can't afford to burn too much time on it. Keep in mind that many of the questions are experimental and won't be graded and also remember that the test designers want you to get about half the questions wrong towards the end of the test.No other test has shaken my confidence in the moment as much as the CISSP did. I passed at the minimum number of questions, but when the test ends, it doesn't tell you on the screen whether you passed or failed. In that moment, I really thought I had bombed it, even though I had actually done quite well. So yeah, it's that kind of test. It will beat you up, but you can do it!If you don't pass the CISSP your first time, don't worry about it. I think the first-time pass rate is something like 50-60%. It's a really hard test, but you'll feel great when you pass it!Good luck.
Strong reference base.
This set helped me a lot for my CISSP. It’s good and clear content. I don’t have much to complain about it.

What i needed!
Great book, studying for these certifications!
Muy completo y excelente precio, y viene bien empaquetado para evitar daño
I bought this bundle in July 2021 to start my preparation to get my CISSP in 2022. Both books arrived in perfect condition, and I took the time to check all its pages. I trust in three of the authors, Mike, Darril, and David because they did help me to pass the Security+ and CySA+ exams with their study guides, practice tests, videos, and websites. Surely you will read comments that these books are not the best for CISSP for ‘x’ or ‘y’ reasons, however I did read the same comments for their other materials. What I know now, after pass two security certifications, is that only a book, or two books are never enough to get all the knowledge you need to pass an exam. A combination of books plus hands-on experience using technologies will provide the knowledge to understand how to put the theory in action, and gain the confidence you need to pass any exam, no matter its level. Now I am waiting the release of The Official (ISC2) Guide to the CISSP CBK Reference to have the complete series of the CISSP study guide. For sure I will add material, videos, and practice tests from other authors because I want to pass this exam in my first try. Good luck in your journey to become a CISSP.
Great book! Tiny text
I successfully pass my CISSP exam on my first try using these books and the CBK from the same authors.The books are easy to read, detailed and insightful. The approach of having initial testing questions at the beginning, understanding check questions after each chapter and practices questions available really help to have a full understanding of cybersecurity and the exam.I advise you to take the time to read them carefully and work out each step.
Got the content book and the tests book, anything else missing? Nothing.The main book is quite heavy, but it got all you need to study and perform quick searches on it (index, term glossary, etc â¦)The test book gives you an idea on how the exam will be, and provides you with the answers explanations. Also, you are given the access to the mobile app for the test and the flash cards, all you need to have the CISSP preparation material on the go.
