Hi everyone, while I am not yet a CISSP, I might have some info regarding
study material... Or maybe the real CISSP out there, that have passed the
exam,could tell me if the material I use is good. I bought two books :
"CISSP Examinations Textbooks" Volume 1 (Theory) and 2 (Practice) from SRV
Professional Publications (author : S. Rao Vallabhaneni). I found a link to
buy these books on the ISC2 web page. And the theory is broken down by CBK,
it gives a lot of "practice questions"...

Has anyone used this material before? Does it prepare you well for the
exam?

Thanks.

Hi Chris,

There is no one book that will completely prepare you for the exam. The
recommended reading (and FYI the only book I used in preparation for the
exam) is _The Information Security Management Handbook, 4th Ed._ by Tipton
&
Krause (CRC Press, ISBN 1-8493-9829-0). I also have a rather lengthy set
of study questions I made up while reviewing, based on content in this
book. They're available to anyone who wants them.

Good luck,

RGF
