Thanks Salama 
A couple of people asked me about the CISSP exam and how to best study for it. I personally used a combination of books, the Internet, and practical knowledge to prepare for the 6 hour exam. For a month before the exam, I used the “CISSP, CISA, and SSCP Open Study GROUP Online Quizzer” everyday to test my knowledge. I also used a combination of books to strengthen my knowledge in the areas I was not familiar with among the 10 domains of CISSP. The books are available in my bookstore: http://www.marwan.com/store/ under the Category of “CISSP”. Good luck to all on the exam :)
