    I think like you mentioned and even what ISC2 mentions on their website, this knowledge is also "experiential" knowledge, and at most, it is for someone who has touch each domain or probably 10 years of experience but also tapping in to other domains. I have both the Shon Harris and Mick Chappelle books and I'm about to go for the exam this year. I've only been in Cybersecurity for almost 4 years, however, my experience has touched each domain even prior to getting into Cybersecurity. I find in the books the same knowledge that I got from CompTIA and some of it so far seems just to be a refreshing of terms. I've been learning more of the risk side from a business pov versus technical pov which I've been involved with over the last year or so. I think regardless of study books it also ages sense of having the experience as for me it is second nature as I'm in the field and a part of each domain.

      Just make sure you take the exam before April 15. There is definitely a lot of overlap between Comptia and ISC2, ISACA, etc.. It's a good thing, but also seems redundant when going for additional certs. Good luck on the exam!

    Great video. Not pointing any fingers to any one author,...What you really need to know, is this is not just CISSP authors out there, this goes for other certifications as well from other certification vendors. Book authors pump out new books for their publishers on strict deadlines, many times you will also find that they do not follow in-line with the domains, their syllabus is all over the place regards to domain and objective wise.
    The main thing to remember is the IT certification training business is a money- driven business and again not pointing fingers at any one author out there, it's basically hurry up and get their book out there, and less in quality assurance in teaching you, the candidate/student regarding thier materials. That is why all candidate/students need to practice what you are showing in this video, due diligence regarding studying from multiple source against the current cbk as no training is going to 100%.
    I would also be very careful on paying out huge amounts of money for a live or remote training session. You won't find any tricks or tips on pass the course, only a lot of long winded talk from the instructors out there. My 2 cents.

    • @CISSPrep
      @CISSPrep  Год назад +2

      Thank you for the detailed comment. You make a lot of valid points. About the expensive live classes and remote training sessions - I would agree and also add a warning that some of the long windedness includes what they think "will/won't" be on the exam, none of which is true. Nobody knows.

      @@CISSPrep You are Welcome. Ready for more real info? I actually have over 37+ years working in information technology including infosec. I also have taught other certifications from other vendors who I wont say who out of privacy reasons. I also hold currently 10 certifications and some other accreditations.
      I actually failed CISSP on the first attempt as well, I came close.. Part of my failure was the "clarity" of the various training material, and also some other personal issues I had at that time that made my stress levels a bit more. I'll be taking it again at some point. Again, without pointing fingers there is a few people out there that "claim" that they passed the certification on their first try in like only a few weeks studying.. trust me.. It was more luck then anything else IF they really did pass. And you are 100% on point with the live instructors saying claiming "this or that" is going to be on the exam.. they have no idea.
      Also to note especially on RUclips, there are MANY people that claim that they are certification instructors and have secrets and tips for passing.. DO KNOW that those channels that have many subscribers are getting paid a lot of RUclips monetization for each view of their videos. What those content creators do, is there stretch out their videos so people watch longer and they get paid more for viewer retention. MANY times there is like one or two tips at the very end of the video like "study up to the last hour" and "make sure you use xyz book"... LOL... Basically they waste our time and get paid really well.

    Thank you, I never look at it like this. I have studied for multiple certification. I have found out that is true for a lot of training books. Thank you for the research.

    More and more I think CISSP (and CISM to a degree) are reading comprehension/vocabulary exams, with a sprinkle of cyber on top.

    • @CISSPrep
      @CISSPrep  Год назад

      The six hour exam, which is still alive and well today (the non-English versions of the exam), is largely what you describe - reading comprehension. The CAT, however (in English) is a bit different, and adds a layer of trickery on top that forces you to adopt a process of elimination to navigate through the gray areas and poor available choices.

    Yes! This 👆🏽!
    Very sound advice. Although, you cannot put a limit on the terminology as that would be asking to put a limit on “language” as such.
    But otherwise fully agree with your point that “learn the different ways of saying something “ or rather just make that a habit.
    Great example with “replicated” and “mirrored” BTW.

    • @CISSPrep
      @CISSPrep  Год назад +2

      Thank you! To the contrary, I believe expanding the language would help most in how these books are written. They definitely need to include and agree with each other on how to say things, and what something's "phases" are. I believe it's a failure of due diligence on both ISC2's part and the authors, but mostly ISC2 in providing outdated source material.
