HTH
Self-study using the Official Guide and Shon Harris's All in One. Agree with MsMittens that cccure is a great tool, as I would do practice runs on CBKs I was weak on.

If you are a DoD Contractor, DOD 8570.1 pretty much made the CISSP the cert of the day. I got mine before 8570 was finalized, but it was funny to see agencies send folks to the boot camps, then sit back and laugh at the 80% fail rates. Definitly not a cert you can boot camp your way through. Mile wide, inch deep and all.
