The book is packaged with a CD-ROM, which includes sample exams that simulate the actual exam, providing the same number and types of questions with the same allotment of time. It even grades the exam, provides correct answers, and identifies areas where more study is needed.

3.0 out of 5 stars Decent Guide to the CISSP, March 26, 2007
I have read 4 books in my preparation for the CISSP. The All-in-One, Official CISSP CBK, CISSP Prep Guide, and the CISSP Exam Cram. This along with numerous study guides and several online courses. My overall comment is that I expected more from this book. It is extremely verbose and does not seem to "flow" like some of the other books. (Probably because it is written by numerous authors). The test questions at the end of each chapter are poorly written. It also seemed to lack some of the critical details I found in other books. The best overall guide I have found so far is the All-in-One (no big surprise). The official CISSP CBK did not provide any significant details you cannot find the All-in-one and it lacked details in several key areas.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not the book to buy, March 5, 2007
By Keith Palmgren (San Antonio, TX USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I cannot recommend this book. Each chapter is written by a different author or authors. Some of those chapters are extremely good. Others are very poor. In fact, portions of the book are the most difficult to read technical text I have ever seen. In those areas, gleaning the information needed for the CISSP exam (or any other purpose) is difficult at best. Also, there are some significant accuracy errors in some places. I really believe your money is better spent on the Shon Harris CISSP All-in-One Exam Guide, Third Edition.

3.0 out of 5 stars Painful... get Shon Harris, March 18, 2008
I attended a 6 day boot camp that provided this book as pre-study prep tool. NO ONE in the class even cracked it open, and all (including the instructor) far preferred the Shon Harris book(s).
The material doesn't have to be this dry. But boot camps feel obliged to provide this one because its by ISC2, and perceived as 'more official'.
BTW, always keep in mind... the purpose of the books and classes you may take is to get you through the exam. You HAVE to squash the frequent "but that's not the way it is in real life" thoughts.
When in doubt, put on your 'management' cap and answer from that POV, not as a techie.
One last thing... stay away from on-line test quizes... they'll destroy your self-confidence, which you can't afford. They're more often than not exercise in "hey, dig how smart I am and how obscure a question I can write." Stick to questions in this or Harris' books.
BTW, I passed. :)
