Just read the book Digital Fortress and then an article on the NSA. Thought it would make me an instant cryptologist! Guess i need to do some actual studying. I think 6 of 13 wasn't too bad for only reading a fictional book and a wikipedia description! Cool test. Just read the book Digital Fortress and then an article on the NSA.

One question asks about the SE processes but the answer relates to ISSE processes. You can tell because the word "Security" is not in the question but appears in the answer. Be careful on the the exam as I have heard that this is a "gotcha" type of question. I have noticed a few incorrect answers in this practice exam.

]]> Comment on CISSP Salary Survey and a Grain of Salt by Karen http://www.cisspzone.com/2011/04/cissp-salary-survey-and-a-grain-of-salt/#comment-689 Karen Wed, 30 Nov 2011 15:46:11 +0000 http://www.cisspzone.com/?p=241#comment-689 Another reason I don't think salary surveys are too reliable is that often, people have multiple certifications. A person with CISSP, CISM, and CEH certs probably makes a more than somebody with just a CISSP, but the statistics don't break that out. And also, a lot of very high-ranking folks have some of these certs - if you have 100 respondents to a salary survey and 15 of them are CIOs, then the total average base pay isn't going to be too realistic.

Leave time to transfer answers from the answer book to the score sheet This is the method I chose when I took the exam. I found it less distracting. It was easier to continue moving through the booklet. Though one thing I would like recommend is, when you go through the exam, is to stop and mark every twentith bubble on the scantron, (20, 40, 60, etc.) so when you start to fill in the scantron you can check your progress to make sure you are on the right number. That way if you make a mistake, the worst case scenario is you only have to go back 19 questions to find which question you skipped. My friend told me about his horror story when he got to the end of the scantron and he had six questions left but seven bubbles to be filled in. I did not want that to be me. 9.
