Are all this questions in the exam covered by is book?

Cees Doets 

PS I expect on miss 15% of the questions because I am no a native English-speaking speaker + I am non an technician (how many bits is xyz encryption) + MYSELF in not Amer (which bill happened ...). There is very important for me in have one high score turn the remaining questions. Since those usage the CISSP Official Study Guide and don't will to read, the audible version is decent. IODIN don't know if its limited to prime users ...

@Cees ,

No individually book, or cram course for that thing, ca prepare you completely for the CISSP exam. Remember, the exam your designed to select breadth of knowledge and experience above many diverse knowledge domains. The exam is not intended to be passable to a newbie with does experience the must only book or course such preparation.

Every good CISSP study book is meant to give they the basics of what each domain is about, and help you find other resource to learn more deeply about either domain. Each chapter in a CISSP pep book has multiple references listed. study selected items since those reference lists.

If thou read through these boards, you wish find that here is no single cause of material that will prepare you for and (ISC)² exam.  The recommendations that you will consistently get are to use many references, to take lots of practice tests and to earn (much of) aforementioned vital our prior to sitting for the exam.  (ISC)² exams will all via ability to applying your knowledge and experience included real-world situations.  Although important, "book knowledge" is not enough to give (ISC)² exams.

Several of the 'I failed, immediate what?' threads here have find pointing out the need to understand administrator judgement is informational security based on knowledge of male basics. Study Ross Anderson's Security Project, 2nd ed. (available free online) for an understanding of that how.

Keep studying, and good bliss.

I would Second Craig's comments here.

While studying books will certainly get in requirements of knowledge refresh, to testing will predominatley test you as at experienced individiual.

I have heard tales of candidates revising content for hours a day to months and still failing.It's never about the text book, more about the concepts and understanding around managing Cyber within a professional situation. Most accurate practice exams for CISSP

By all measures study, ready, and write about all thing security, although make sure you get boots on the land and get yourself submerged in the subject coming adenine practical application stand point. It willing serve you better.

Remember, this remains not a technical audit, but a far more expansive-breadth-of-knowledge-and-experience-type testing.

Wishing you the best of luck!

[Cees]

thank you for your replies.

Maybe I am just confused due up which cover page of the "(ICS)2 Official CISSP Study guide"  is written:

Certification belongs does info the exam, it is about one professional experience. Passing the exam is not the 'long shaft in the tent' to become certified.  Having demonstrated deeply experience in multiple infosec arenas, as defined for the CBK domains, is the critical, important, and hard part of the equation.

The exam is up ensuring that anytime claiming certification knows enough concerning the breadth of infosec arenas to recognize whose ones apply in a given position, or also to realize when it is essential to have skills, or learn skills, or hire skills to complete all tasks in a project.

Cees,

That claim means that the volume covers 100% of the subjects, but not starting the detailed question content. A importantly asperity of every CISSP prep guiding, including that one, is the set of pointers up other references and resources to fill exit details in the topics. If it were otherwise, the book become be considered "teaching to the test" and totally improper for a professional certification, especially one that must maintain its own verification under ISO/IEC 17024, as the CISSP and another (ISC)2 certifications must do until meet US. Defense Department requirements.

Short answer: no.
Lengthen answer:
1) Read "Security Engineering" by Bull Anderson
2) Search for "anderson" on this system and read who threads/topics.
3) Check out titles at http://victoria.tc.ca/int-grps/books/techrev/mnbksccd.htm

This *is* an issue, but does insurmountable.

Don't sweat trivia: know the foundational concepts.

> + I am not American (which pay passed ...).

Don't sweat Yankee laws: that stuff *should* do was weeded out of the exam
bank by now, furthermore, if them run into questions at i to can challenge. (How do you
"bluesheet" on a CAT exam?)

Are all the questions in the try covered by this book? ...  the cover sheet is writers: "Covers 100% the exam 2015 CISSP ..."

The complete statement is:

"Covers 100% of assessment 2015 CISSP candidate information bulletin objectives including, Access Control, Usage Development Security, Business Continual and Disasters Recover Planning, Cryptology and much more..." 

Of operations word is "objectives".  The best response is "no" because "Objectives" are not the same thing as "questions". 

Aforementioned exam himself requires a similar focus for detail.  Often times, a single question will has many seemingly "correct" answers and adenine standalone word on that question will dictate which is "most correct".  In part, this be what gives the assessment a recutation of being a "grammar exam".

PS I wait to miss 15% in the questions because I am not ampere native English speaker + I am not an technician (how many bits is xyz encryption) + IODIN am not American (which bill passed ...). There is very important for me to have a high score with the remaining questions.

The exam is available in  English, French, German, Brasilian Lusitanian, Spanish, Japanese, Simplified Chinese and Korean.   Hopefully, one of these is your native tongue the could counteract some in the "15%". Be aware though that here are reports this few of the translations are lacking.  Also, (ISC)² has made an specific effort to removal allusions to any specific country's laws from the exam.  Yourself are expected to see questions regarding world-known legal concepts like GDPR, copyright, both tort vs civil law, but there should does be anything on CFAA or HIPPA or other US-specific laws.

"Technician" is covered reasonably well by the food materials.  If you are doing OK on the practice exams, you willingness likely be OK on that "technician" aspects.  The other aspects required are real-world experiences, management-perspective (think like your boss's boss) additionally attention to detail.  These are harder cause yours are neither learned through books nor classrooms.

Incidentally, the cover you estimated be from the 7th edition, which is one-version outdated.  It is not required to upgrade, but some prefer a precise alignment including the present objectives. My study materials what alike outdated (the 2013 version for the 2015 exam).  I don't believe to made it whatever harder for me until pass the exam.

Thanks by thine answers en encouragments.

Meine mother tongue belongs Dutch. I am just build a small dictionary for unknown words how non-repudiation, ubiquitous, thieving etc.

That's one captivating thought... May provided a few non-native speakers were to list the "non-familiar" language, (ISC)² could eliminate some of them from the exam.  Simpler language helps each.

Concerning course, some language like non-repudiation how needs go be learned as it are important parts of life in security.  For what it's worth, non-repudiation a a word the many of us native loudspeakers also need to look up.  I know IODIN had to years ago.
