THE standard CISSP study guide book that should be read at least three times cover to cover before your exam.
While not as comprehensive as the other two books, what is in this book breaks down exactly what is in the exam.
Secondary Books - All three are must-haves
I actually wrote this book! I wrote it to help anyone face the CISSP exam with the correct mindset.
Pretty good book! Concise and well-written. Touches on subject broken down in easily digestible portions.
A great book to read completely 1-month before the exam. It's a refresher book of all topics.
Practice Questions - Pick the Sybex, or get both
Great set of practice questions that touches upon most topics of the CISSP. The language and terminology will help to speak the language of the CISSP.
My FAVORITE set of practice questions. I used these before my own CISSP exam and model my own CISSP course questions after it.
