And I have always used and had success with Exam Cram/Prep products. Ever since I went to the methodology of Exam Cram + whatever the best on line testing software, I've never failed a test. That includes Novell, Microsoft (MCSE+I), CCNA (several times), A+, Network+ and Security+. The books have the required information in a readable format. Leading a CISSP group for my company and this is what I have them buy.

The standard for CISSP is the humongous Shon Harris book. To bad it is impossible to get folks to read that one. The DO read the Exam Cram.

There is no comparison between this book and the SSI logic book (which I gave 5 stars to)...the author of this book does not even know the correct definition of Failsafe and Fail secure.....I found many other mistakes as well, too many to enumerate, and this is supposed to be the second edition. Who is the editor? BTW, I passed, so this is not some grudge review. However, I credit my success to the SSI Logic book!

Overall, I found the CISSP Practice questions very helpful in prepping for the CISSP exam. The level of difficulty is higher than either the sample questions in the ISC2 guide or Shon Harris's excellent Exam Guide and therefore useful to my study. However, I did find a 1/2 dozen or answers that were not properly vetted and had incorrect answers. I checked with experts to make sure. Ironically, even the incorrect answers forced me to a greater level of understanding of the concepts. I recommend this as a valuable supplement to the above study guides.
