Great Study Addition, May 22 2011
By David Ferguson - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Eleventh Hour CISSP: Study Guide (Paperback)
I used the 11th Hour CISSP Guide as a companion to Eric Conrad's "CISSP Study Guide". I used it in the days leading up to the exam. It's value to me was the distallation of the salient points of the CBK. As you reaed the short and concise text, it helped me as I read topics within each domail to say "I know this topic or I don't know it well enough". So it was a good yardstick against which to measure your knowledge on the days prior to the exam.
I can't say I would use this as my only study guide as you do need a more in depth grounding in the domains, but this book certainly served its purpose on focussing my energies on the areas which I needed to hone in on prior to the exam.
By the way, I used Conrad's CISSP Study Guide (the bigger book) as ny priciple study guide for the CISSP exam and the GIAC exam and I can honestly say that text as well as the 11th hour guide were instrumental in passing both exams the first time. Compared to three other major texts (Krutz/Vines, Harris, and the official ISC2 texts), Conrad's book distills the CBK into real world, stuff-you-can-read prose. Definitely recommended as they helped me pass the first time.

Concise, May 9 2011
By Bill G. - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Eleventh Hour CISSP: Study Guide (Paperback)
I bought this book in order to prepare for 3 days prior to the exam. This book is extremely concise and to the point. It covers all domains in a very efficient manner. CISSP books are never this clear. In my opinion, you need a grasp of all CBK's in order for this book to be of any use. This is a great companion to the other book from the author. CISSP Study Guide
In short: if you have already read another book or have a good grasp of all the CBK's already, this is an excellent book for studying right down to the last moments you are in your car minutes before you take the exam.
