Yes, I agree that was the only book I studied from when I took the exam
over a year ago. The CBK practice test, $20.00 sort of well spent. The
practice test provides the person studying for the exam, a taste of how the
questions could be possibly worded. The real underlying trick to the CISSP
exam is knowing how to eliminate the wrong answers. I don't want to go
down the path of CISSP versus non CISSP type people, or people who believe
in certifications etc. I personally don't believe that they carry any real
weight in getting a job, although it can be a factor with some high end
security consulting practices, but it shouldn't .
One of these days I should post my top 10 Infosec security candidate
questions :)
