First of all let me thank this community for providing valuable information on this forum.

Yesterday I took my SSCP cbt exam (London Pearsonvue) after studying for the last 2 months. I used Darril Gibson's AIO book, CBT nuggets, freepracticetests.org. Basically I took this exam because I work in health domain and control access/IT security. And I thought this certification will give me excellent knowledge and help me in understanding the organisational security issues at technical level.

Overall I found SSCP exam's difficulty level average, 3 hours is more than enough to complete the test. :)

I took CBT exam thinking that I will get results same day, but all I got is a printout saying "(ISC)2 apologizes for not providing you with an on-site score report for this examination. Candidates scores are being withheld temporarily while we conduct a psychometric analysis of the results. Your pass/fail results will be reported to you by (ISC)2 within six weeks. .............."
:?:

I am pretty confident that I passed but this 6 weeks wait is a spoilsport !!


Thanks

Also, any other IT/InfoSec orgs around Phoenix that are worth being a part of? I just moved from a place where the dog population usually was double the people population and it was 30 minutes each way to the nearest small grocery, so it would be cool to see what opportunities are out there in the Phoenix metro.

Which one helps best in preparing for the CISSP exam? Shon Harris seems the most famous. After that Clement Dupuis seems to be a recognized expert. CBT nuggets is a cheaper option, but I don't know if it's any good.

Who has used one and can recommend it? Please let me hear your experience.

When ISC2 mentions 4 years (with degree) of experience in at least two domains, does it mean 4 years in each domain or is it a cumulation of 4 years from both?

I suspect 4 years in each domain so something like 3 years of crypto and 1 year of access control would not be acceptable but would like your clarification. ]]> (ISC)² SSCP and CISSP zeta33 http://www.techexams.net/forums/isc-sscp-cissp/89063-cissp-experience-clarification.html http://www.techexams.net/forums/isc-sscp-cissp/89024-cissp-exam-prep-questions-answers-explanations.html Mon, 06 May 2013 21:22:57 GMT
Hi – could anyone please comment on the “CISSP ExamPrep: Questions, Answers & Explanations” book by SSI Logic , 2012version?

For my study guides I've been using with the AOI 5^thedition and the Eric Conrad CISSP Study Guide version 2 – doing the questionsat the end of each chapter. I have also been using the “Total Tester” SW (2012version) averaging 90% on the exams and the McGraw-Hill CISSP testing web site averaging 83%.

I recently started the tests in SSI’s “CISSP ExamPrep: Questions, Answers & Explanations “ bookand am wondering if the questions in thetests are a fair representation of those on the actual CISSP test? They don’tseem very technical..

Thanks..

Study Guides:
Transcender Online CISSP prep - Rating A+
CCCure.org - Rating C
Shon Harris AIO - 5th Edition - B-

Preptime 3 months of review 2-3 hours a day M-Thursday (screw study on weekends or Friday happy hour, I run better on Guinness)

Purchased Transcender via website, and ran through those one domain one at a time. $99-129?

2nd month, purchased CCCure test questions for ~30$ I think?. If you want user submitted questions so down in the weeds it makes Bill Gates look like a moron, go for it. This is a MANAGEMENT level exam people...REMEMBER THAT! I also didn't like the constant repeats of the same question asked 10 different ways. Either you know it or you don't, and if you don't the explanations they give are from those 10 different people that submitted those questions and you get 10 different "versions" of their theory of what is what (some with no reference!) F that! That site has potential but lacks standard consistent explanations.

Last month / weeks prior I was able to pass each of the transcender preset 250 question exam simulations with 90-95% scores last week of study before my exam.

Also, in the last week of study I answered all questions from each chapter of CISSP AIO guide - never read the entire book, no need. Use the test prep to find your weak points and review those ONLY. Don't waste your time with things you already know.

Final thoughts on the exam, easy to moderate difficulty. All of that prep time for that? I am just a genius? I KNOW that isn't the case at all! I took some of those CCCure questions in the 2nd month and thought that would be the level of detail needed and almost quit.

Anyway, use the transcenders to learn the concepts, get the AIO book, score 90% + on each of the presents, take the exam. Read the question 2-3 times, apply common sense, add tech details, and you will be fine. The transcenders are the best resource I used to LEARN the concepts I needed to fill the gaps in my knowledge bank.
