How To Think Like A Manager for the CISSP Exam

This book is outstanding! It is short, straight to the point, and most importantly, it contains the most realistic questions to the actual exam. I have taken many exams and compared many study tools to the actual exam (I am a CPA, CIA, CISA, and CFE). For the CISSP, the 25 questions contained in this book are identical, in terms of difficulty and style to the actual exam. Luke Ahmed does an excellent job explaining why certain answer choices are better than others, covering every single answer choice, and highlighting the mindset needed to correctly answer each question. I definitely recommend everyone read this book and slowly work through the 25 questions Luke covers. Don’t wait until the day before the exam to read this book, read this book before you start your final review phase or earlier.

Read through the book three times. Luke breaks down how to not rush to conclusions and instead focus more on "keeping the money flowing" so to speak. I also used his paid online CISSP course for three months, the official Sybex study guide and practice questions, and Pete Zerger's latest CISSP exam cram Youtube video. No overpriced bootcamps. Passed on first attempt on December 22. Thank you Luke! Thank you for reading and good luck with your studies.

This book is such a blessing for those of us working towards taking the CISSP. The breakdowns, explanations, and thoughtfulness of each question's scenario is top notch. Do yourself a favor and get this for your CISSP (or cyber-related) studies! Future you will thank you later!

This book is written with heart and soul from a standpoint of a CISSP! Thank you Luke Ahmed for sharing your wisdom!

Easy read. Helps with the mindset you're going to need to pass the CISSP.

Buy the book. Seriously. It will change your way of thinking and I firmly believe this is the reason I gained enough confidence and determination to pass the CISSP exam. I read it 3 times. Short and sweet, no nonsense and right to the point. Questions were spot on comparable to the test. The breakdown of how to answer truly saved me during my studying. If you could only buy one piece of study material, this is the the one to get.

This book is well worth the read! This is an outstanding tool for adopting the "CISSP Mindset." For those preparing for the exam, technical know-how will only help so much. Beyond that is understanding how IT Security fits in with the business goals of the organization (Revenue/Expenses/Risk). More important than getting the answer correct on these test questions, it to be able to explain why the correct answer is correct, and why the incorrect answers are incorrect. The reader might not agree with all of the authors conclusions, but if they can explain why they disagree, they will be well on their way to passing the CISSP exam. This book, and the authors web site, were critical for my successful completion of the CISSP exam.

A very down to earth walkthrough of the mindset needed in order to understand the core CISSP exam! Highly recommended!

この本は練習問題とその解説を通じていかに高い視点でセキュリティを捉えるかが学べます。それは実務においても必要なことですが、あまりの例題の難しさに愕然としました。試験直前に読みましたが、半分ぐらいしか合ってなかったと思います。ですが、試験には受かりました。ちょっと哲学的で深読みを求めすぎる感じです。実際の試験はこれよりもシンプルですし、引っ掛け問題なんじゃないかと深読みしている時間もありません。この本を読んで自信を失わないでほしい。
