5.0 out of 5 stars Best for experienced Administrators & Engineers, May 28 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: CISSP Exam Cram (Paperback)
If you are already a skilled systems engineer that is familiar with the concepts of TCP/IP and account logon policy, then this book will cover the additional areas that ISC(2) require. The ~100 practice questions in this book were very VERY helpful, similar to the Transcender format where it explains why the correct choice, and the reasons the incorrect answers are false.

I reviewed just the practice questions and passed my test on the first try. Just because the test is $500, don't try to "out think" the questions, pick the logical answer and the practice questions in this book will verify you are picking the answers that ISC(2) agree are logical.

For many skilled SE's and SA's, the CISSP study materials are a cure for insomnia and tedious to read, almost like reading your local state DMV drivers license instruction book, almost as bad as a life insurance policy terms and conditions.

For those who are already technically skilled, this book is a great choice.

2.0 out of 5 stars Too Limited and Basic, April 1 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: CISSP Exam Cram (Paperback)
I found the "Exam Cram" books work great for one hour tests (such as the CompTIA ones), but the CISSP exam covers so much material in so much detail, something this limited is not of much help in studying. I used this as my first study guide for the exam, and was able to breeze through it in a couple hours and score a 49/50 on the practice test at the end of the book (well technically 48/50, but there's an obvious error in the answer key!). The sample questions from other books and websites were much more detailed and tricky, and you'll need plenty of time reviewing those in order to have a shot at passing the exam. While I did find this well organized, nicely written, and technically correct, it ultimately is not worth the time spent reading. I found Mike Meyer's CISSP Passport offered a much better level of detail, and proved much more helpful in my studying.

1.0 out of 5 stars Waste of time and money, Oct 8 2002
By 
Jeff Gercken (Louisville, KY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: CISSP Exam Cram (Paperback)
The content and especially the questions are very low level. I refuse to believe this is representative of the actual exam. After reading it I can say I've learned a couple new acronyms but that's about it. This is my 1st book on the subject, hope the others are better.
