4.0 out of 5 stars Read this book cover to cover and you will pass the exam

I purchased the book along with the CBK in order to prep for the exam, It took about a month and half to read the book cover to cover and retain as much information as needed for each domain followed by a month of review and periodic practice test and successfully passed the exam. It provides very insightful and easy to follow narrative covering all areas and helped me better grasp concepts that I struggled with or was unfamiliar with prior to starting my exam prep. The knowledge checks at the end of each chapter helped me accurately gauge my proficiency topics and domains and where to focus my study efforts.

The two major reasons that I gave this book a 4/5 rather than a 5/5 were because of the amount of misprint/typo's in the knowledge checks, not sure if this is the fault of the publisher or the QA process but a fair number of questions had the wrong answer marked as correct or the right answer was not an option at all.
The other reason is that this book does not cover all terminology introduced with the latest iteration of the CISSP exam, the first example that comes to mind is the book lacks any reference to the term "Data Steward", this term pops up in other practice exams and specifically for me I saw it during the actual exam but there is no mention of it in this edition of the book.

I would recommend this book as an essential tool to anyone who is looking to pass the CISSP exam!

Still perfect for 2024 CISSP updated exam to learn all the necessary material. I paired it with Mike Chapple's LinkedIn Learning course along with some other study materials and passed on my 1st attempt. Experience, proper studying and test prepping is all that's required to pass and the exam.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential for Base Knowledge

I just passed the CISSP and found that this book did the most in preparing me. Everyone is different with various backgrounds so I cannot speak to what others say, but in terms of speaking from my experience I would say this book moderately prepared me for the test. I read every chapter and did all of the exercises at the end of each chapter. I also used the official practice tests book and activated the online Wiley questions from that book. In addition, I read the Syngress book "11th Hour CISSP 3rd edition", though it is getting out of date, hopefully they update it because it is a really solid reference book. I took notes, writing stuff down helps. Studied for 5 months and did no cramming. If I can pass it, then I know you guys/gals can pass it. Just do the work and do the time. The reason I typed all of this was because the most open reviews really helped me in purchasing the write materials to help me pass along with coworkers who also passed.

This is a complete guide. Some 1040 pages of content and another 75 in appendix answering the chapter questions and written labs. Very helpful to me and I haven't read a tech book in 10 years.
