As far as the materials, the Shon Harris book, and the Krutz and Vines book are good. It is as much "CISSP mindset" as specific knowledge for some questions, too.
We've done study groups with the local (Boston) NAISG chapter, covering 1 or 2 topics per night, 1 night a week. It takes a lot longer than a boot camp, but you can actually learn stuff instead of just cramming for a test. Test taking skills are a huge help. If you get flustered easily, it will not be pleasant. Since it is a paper test, you can go over it repeatedly- a good way to tackle the test is: Go through it once quickly, answer the easy questions only. Don't bother with the long ones, and skip any you do not instantly know. Then, go through a second time, read all the questions, but only answer the ones you know. By this point, you should have made real progress, and will have read the whole test- probably finding answers to some questions in other questions. Now you can start grinding away on the remaining questions, hopefully fairly relaxed.
