SC1 what are you talking about? CISSP is not ISACA, it is IC^2. Two different organizations with very different tests.

I do agree read the book. Unlike ISACA, IC^2 does not publish old tests so practice exams aren't as useful.

Have you taken the CISA? I would look at Isaca forums to see certain things that helped people’s that passed. From what I read in the past many topics overlap from the CISA. I would reach all the book content and not focus on memorization. focus more on reading content than doing sample test/questions online. if you nail the content and read all the pages in the study book you should do well.

Isaca has different forums for exams like
CISA CISP CISSP . You can google Isaca CISSP form

Haha yep
Pwc
1 your right Minor oversight but what I said about the topics is true about the cross over with some
Topics

I don't know how Cisa prep will help you. Here is how I passed. SYBEX study guide 2 hours or more daily. More on weekends. Do the questions you get with the sybex book. They help you understand the intent of questions. I also used cybrary for domains I was weak in. Study, test qs, study!
Good luck!
