Adding to this list would be the list of relevant articles at 100Questions Exam Portal (http://www.100qns.com), which has a good set of reference articles on CISSP domains, CISSP Tips on security architecture and design, physical and environment security, cryptography and many more. The only thing is that it is not a pure CISSP site but also contains other exams, but it's neat interface makes it easy to find the CISSP resources.

The other good thing is that you can test your CISSP knowledge and prepare for the exam via the exam library, which contains free-to-try exam questions. Rather useful I must say!

Thanks bro for a well written experience. Am interested in writing the cissp and thinking if I need to try my hands first on the security+; you hit it right in the head. Thanks for the insight. I have also kept this page in my favorite and will be visiting it from time to time. Thanks. Ben

Well done, and a good recap of the experience. Waiting for my results, after writing on the 21st of May and the wait is killing me.

The biggest shock of the exam to me was the amount of over-analysis that can occur on each question, which wastes time and makes you doubt your first answer.

Another thing to remember is that this is unlike any computer based test you have ever done. The source material and final questions are probably only related by a second degree (in that the question will ask you X and you need to that X is true because of Y and Z that you learnt in your studies - at no point did you ever directly 'learn' that X was true.)

My two cents :) but congratulations again.
