Cheat Sheet: CISSP For Dummies, 2nd Edition

Months before the test

Develop your preparation strategy. Get started by getting all your study aids lined up. CISSP For Dummies belongs on top of the pile.
Budget your preparation time. The breadth of the CISSP exam requires that you make time to review every aspect of the exam domains. Chances are you don’t apply every aspect of the CISSP arsenal every day at work, so you can’t count on it being fresh in your mind without reviewing every domain completely from the ground up. You’ll be unpleasantly surprised by what you’ve forgotten if you don’t plan to review.
Schedule your exam time and make travel arrangements. The CISSP exam is scheduled frequently at many locations around the world. If necessary, you need to make travel arrangements, hotel arrangements, arrange child care, and actually find an available seat in a scheduled exam. It’s no more expensive to schedule the exam in advance and then reschedule than to pay the full last-minute entry fee, so don’t put off signing up for the exam because your schedule is subject to last-minute work or family needs.
