Ten Ways to Prepare for the Exam
IN THIS CHAPTER
Taking steps to prepare for the test
Studying efficiently and effectively
So much information, so little time! In this chapter, we recommend ten (mostly) long-term planning tips for helping you prepare for that special day. (No, not that special day; read Wedding Planning For Dummies, by Marcy Blum and Laura F. Kaiser, for that one.) We’re talking about the CISSP exam here.
Know Your Learning Style
As you anticipate your study and preparation for the CISSP exam, it’s important for you to understand your personal learning style. You might prefer a long-term study plan as opposed to a one-week boot-camp training course, for example, or you may learn better by participating in a study group or by studying and reading alone in a quiet room. Your studying might be more fruitful if you do it in short, frequent sessions (say, 30 minutes a couple of times a day), or in less frequent and longer marathons (such as four hours a few nights a week).
To make the most of the tips in this chapter, you need to know in advance what works best for you so you can customize your study plan and pass the CISSP exam with flying colors!
