Book Description
Until now, those preparing to take the Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) examination were not afforded the luxury of studying a single, easy-to-use manual. Written by ten subject matter experts (SMEs) - all CISSPs - this test prep book allows CISSP candidates to test their current knowledge in each of the ten security domains that make up the Common Body of Knowledge (CBK) from which the CISSP examination is based on. The Total CISSP Exam Prep Book: Practice Questions, Answers, and Test Taking Tips and Techniques provides an outline of the subjects, topics, and sub-topics contained within each domain in the CBK, and with it you can readily identify terms and concepts that you will need to know for the exam. The book starts with a review of each of the ten domains and provides 25 sample questions with answers and references for each. It discusses successful approaches for preparing for the exam based on experiences of those who have recently passed the exam. It then provides a complete 250-question practice exam with answers. Explanations are provided to clarify why the correct answers are correct, and why the incorrect answers are incorrect. With a total of 500 sample questions, The Total CISSP Exam Prep Book gives you a full flavor of what it will take to pass the exam.

Reader Reviews
This review is more of a reply to the previous review which stated `Buy a Different Prep Book'. Full disclosure: I was a technical editor for this book and work with some of the authors. First off, at 300 pages, this book comes close to its title of `The Total CISSP Exam Prep Book'. The main function of a prep guide is to prepare the test taker for the nature of the questions and answer. If someone is looking for tips such as bring extra pencils and eat a lot of carbohydrates before the test, this book expects a mature reader and does not give such simple advice. Each section gives a good overview of what the test taker needs to know about that part of the CBK. The question and answer section gives the reader a very good overview of the nature of what to expect on the CISSP exam. The Total CISSP Exam Prep Book is obviously not going to be as comprehensive as Shon Harris's book, since Harris's book is nearly three times the size and 5 times the weight. If you are looking for a CISSP Test Taking for Dummies book, look elsewhere. But if you are looking for a first-rate guide to preparing for the CISSP exam, this is a fine choice.
