Negative Positive
Title: Too Limited and Basic
Review: 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.
Is the review positive or negative?
