Thanks all, I cleared the exam :)

1. Check CISSP notes by Prashant Mohan or Sunflower.
2. Watch why you will PASS the CISSP exam by Kelly Henderson.
3. IT dojo questions on youtube. This one helped me the most.

All the best!

Eleventh Hour CISSP. Read it cover to cover.

Couple of things to do
1. Before you answer questions check for key words
2. Read the question 2 to 3 times
3. Choose the non technical answer or a answer which a CEO will choose
4. Remember its a management exam not technical

I did a company boot camp, sybex official book cover to cover twice, official practice tests full book, boson tests, and the 11th hour book. This worked for me. Oh and very important - “why you will pass the Cissp” vdo by Kelly handerson. Good luck for your prep and exam!
