Regarding Shon’s book, I agree. I tended to focus on the quick tips sections, the practice tests, and then getting into detail throughout specific topics that were more unfamiliar to me. A coworker of mine read that thing cover to cover and failed the exam. You need to hit hard the important points and leave out all the fluff. The All-in-One CISSP exam guide does a great job structuring the book for easy pinpointing of the significant information and allowing for an enjoyable read through if just beginning a security career.

Now that I have passed the CISSP exam, I’ll continue to upload study sheets to help my readers and a few coworkers of mine. If you read my post yesterday titled “Passing the CISSP” it details some of the time constraints I’ve been under and thus my inability to spend the time formatting the rest of the study sheets for the blog. I’ll begin working on them again after the holidays. When is your test scheduled? Is there any domain in particular you’d like first? Thanks for the Kudos UmZ.

They are just superb. I will try to include few of mines as well so we can help others with quality materials. Can you please update more study sheets for rest of the domains. They are just superb.

You WILL NOT pass on this book alone, but it will lighten up the learning process. Shon's book is great, but unless you have massive amounts of study-time, it's almost impossible to read cover to cover and retain anything. I found myself reading the Dummies book, figuring out which parts I knew and which parts I needed to brush-up on, then reading Shon to fill in the gaps. As far as CCCure goes, there were a few questions that were incorrect in their testbank. Just remember that in the end, the ISC2 answer will win out on the exam 100% of the time verses your opinion and experience. Be humble, or be humbled.

They killed no one. A group of them in the early 80s attempted a bank robbery, two officers were killed. He didn't launch is campaign from his living room. He had many 'coffees' with various people in his Hyde Park neighborhood. If he launched his political career anywhere, it would be the Ramada with his political mentor alice palmer. Raila Odinga is prime minister of Kenya and an Anglican! Rashid Khalidi is an american and a well respected scholar, not a terrorist, never has been. He holds different view points than obama, they discuss them as any good intellect does. You discuss, debate, as you d want a president to be able to do. Guilt by association is highly discredited and you know it. He barely knew his father or his indonesian step-father. They were both insignificant politically and he has lived almost 40 yrs. since being in either's lives. Your claims are distortions and essentially lies. "Obama fails this test with his weakness to deny temptation." Ridiculous. He was open and upfront about his past use, a story not too uncommon. He never even pursued treatment, just as George Bush didn't for his cocaine use and alcohol abuse. He visited US troops in the USA before his CAMPAIGN trip to Germany. He declined the visit there as he was there on campaign business. That spin was put out by the RNC and you pick up as part of your ridiculous distortions and demonization of Obama. You all should be ashamed of your lack of critical thinking and belief in everything you read by so called 'experts'. NO ONE, no where can you find a site that says the Weatherman killed 100s. This is such a ridiculous lie, it makes the the ridiculous claims of this article completely incredulous. Quit hiding behind your alleged background in doing security checks and just admit your agenda. The weatherman didnt kill hundreds, not even close. They killed no one.

Question 20 in particular has dealt with any detrimental associations, a question Obama never answered and to my knowledge was not required to answer. Now there is a possibility he may withdraw the application and requirement from his staff. Should this happen, we risk having a administration made up of Chicago thugs. Please, our standards should not be relaxed but if anything made tougher for those seeking office. Don't allow this issue to escape the public attention and scrutiny as many hope to escape the responsibility which is how we got in this mess in the 1st place.

This is insanity. Obama should not be trusted because of reasons presented in this article and many others. Will he tell Oprah, rap singer Ludicrous, Stevie Wonder, Pea-brained P-Diddy when they stay in the Lincoln bedroom? Will he tell Bill Ayers, racist Jeremiah Wright, Father Flagher, when he sees them in Chicago? Will he tell Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, thug leader Hugo Chavez, Castro when he visits them without pre-conditions? US voting for Obama shows the US is turning into an Idiocracy. Young people are brainwashed. Women are hypnotised. Satan is alive and well on planet earth. But Jesus is the true and only hope...the truth of dispensationalism should see a revival before Obama outlaws it.
