Get Organized and READ

Get Organized and READ!

A wealth of security information is available for the CISSP candidate. However, studying everything is impractical. Instead, get organized, determine your strengths and weaknesses, and then READ!

Begin by requesting an official CISSP Candidate Information Bulletin from the (ISC) ² Web site ( www.isc2.org). It’s free and will be e-mailed to you as a password-protected Adobe Acrobat PDF document. This provides a good outline of the subjects on which you’ll be tested.

Next, read this book, take the practice exam and review the materials on the accompanying CD-ROM. CISSP For Dummies, 2nd Edition, is written to provide the CISSP candidate with an excellent overview of all the broad topics covered on the CISSP exam.

Next, focus on the weak areas that you identify. Read or review additional references - the (ISC) ² Web site lists over 70 publications under “Suggested Study Materials.” Also, see Bonus Chapter 3 on this book’s CD-ROM for a few more that aren’t on the (ISC) ² list (yet).

Finally, in the last week before your exam, you should have gone through all your selected study materials at least once. Review or read CISSP For Dummies, 2nd Edition, one more time, as well as your personal study notes, and complete as many practice questions as you can.
