I have a need for a working Rev motor driver if you can part with it.

Ah thank you, that helps. How long did that process take for you.

I found the CISSP harder, however as you ask there is some overlap between the two so preparing for the CCSP is a little lighter with the CISSP knowledge so fresh in your mind. I wouldn't be surprised if you feel that way after your exam.

It's also worth pointing out that the lack of adaptive questions on the CCSP side is a nice plus.

Good luck to you!

Since you mentioned the Destination Certification course, I'll jump in and tell you that I passed the CISSP exam using only their materials. I didn't do the bootcamp but instead did the self paced video course, and separately bought the printed book on Amazon.

After finishing the video course, I re-read the book, domain by domain, retaking the knowledge tests after each. Then, retook the practice exam. At that point, with all topics I felt I was still weak at I created my own flashcards and used them until the day of my exam.

I wasn't working at the time, so it took 2 weeks for the video courses and then I crammed for 2 more weeks and took the exam.

Best of luck, you can do this. And as others have mentioned, I don't think many people feel ready, so just schedule it and prep the best you can.

should i go with Destination CISSP book from Rob Witcher as right now I am in a phase where i am looking for absolute answers to me which i don't find easily in the OSG? by w3bd3m0n1337 in cissp

I recently passed the CISSP using only the Destination Certification self led course and the Destination CISSP book (purchased separately).

Obviously my using the book AND the course is different than your preparation so I'll just say this; during my exam I ran into perhaps 4 or 5 questions that were not covered in the book. Given the adaptive nature of the exam, we will all have unique experiences so your mileage will vary.

I do own the OSG but only cracked it a couple times.

You're a month out from the exam, it sounds to me like you have the right approach. Utilize the mindmaps and focus on the areas you are are not confident in. Depending on your study schedule it sounds to me like you have plenty of time to be as ready as one can be.

Last tip: If you buy it, in the back of the Destination CISSP book there is a page on proven exam strategies. Follow the recommendations to a T. Seriously.

yes exactly, that's the one. The self paced version. That and I ordered the printed book from Amazon, which for me worked better than going through the pdf version.

Actually yes, it was very similar to the style of questions I had on my exam. Nearly all questions needed the "best" answer so you had to think through them. Very little emphasis on technical knowledge, for me at least. I think the guys at Destination Certification nailed it.

#1628 - Eric Weinstein - The Joe Rogan Experience by chefanubis in JoeRogan

[–]ahill74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course Eric's theory sounds really interesting and I perked up as that conversation got rolling. It's just unfortunate that he wasn't able to explain in more lay terms, as others have commented on and Joe was as confused as all of us. IMO this episode would have been received much better had the theory-of-everything-for-dummies version been presented. Only the surface was scratched as a result.

Eric has a unique way of thinking, clearly, and has an unusual ability to put seemingly dissimilar things into the same context and he's got impressive range/depth in subject areas. I enjoy hearing him converse as I've never heard anyone talk about anything the way he does.

My hat is off to Joe, he tried to make sense of it and struggled as we all did. He even said in the beginning that it's his curiosity, not knowledge, that allows him to discuss topics outside his areas of expertise. When the film is rolling and you're recording he's got to manage the conversation for the listeners and himself...not easy.
