If you take the two four day official CISSP review sessions, the
material you are given shows the ratio of the number of questions from
each domain. However, there are still unequal weights given to each
question depending on how hard that question has been rated. There is
also an unequal volume of material for each domain. For example there is
almost twice as much material for the Telecommunications domain compared
to any other domain (which just reflects the breadth of knowledge
necessary to master the domain), but there are not nearly twice as many
questions in the TCOM domain compared to the average.

I highly recommend everyone take the review courses. It is the only way
to get the official material and I think othose materials are the most
helpful of all the other study aids.

I believe that one of the most important things you can do to during
your preparation is to get a feel for the proper depth of the material
you need to learn in each domain. The material is 50 miles wide but not
very deep in most places. I have never seen anything else, other than
the official review course and the official material (yes I do think you
need both of them to gain this insight), which even start to provide
insight into this essential parameter for your studies. Without knowing
how deep you need to go in each domain, you can literally spend years
attempting to master all the domains & never get there because they are
growing too fast to keep up with.
