 CISM Prep Guide - A Complete Failure June 20, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This book was literally a cut and paste of the author's previous work. I just took the CISM exam, and if I had assumed this book could help me pass the test, I would have failed. This is NOT the CISSP, and the fact that they could not take the time to remove references to "studying for the CISSP", in this book tells me it was glued together, and that is being VERY kind.
DO NOT WASTE A DIME ON THIS BOOK!!!

I'll just echo what others have said before me: in 2008 this book is so outdated that it's no longer useful for the CISM exam. Spend your money on the ISACA guides instead.

Please do not, under any circumstances spend money on this book. There is actually no real good study material in general for the CISM exam. This book has not been revised since 2003.
This is a horrible book for this exam. DO NOT BUY IT. Plain enough?
DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK / DON'T EVEN READ IT!!!! December 8, 2007

I just finished my CISM exam and I hope that I can save someone else the same agony I went through. The material in this book is 100% USELESS!!!! (I'm screaming from a mountain top with no exaggeration). If you find this book lying on the sidewalk, DON'T even pick it up. I spent about 20 hours studying the material in this book and taking the pre-tests and not one bit of that effort prepared me for the exam, and I'm being nice!!! USE THE MATERIAL FROM ISACA, not this garbage! It's as if the authors have never even heard of CISM, maybe there is another CISM exam that I am not aware of?!?!?!

Unfortunate purchaser
Outdated: Better to spend your $$ on the ISACA prep books instead. October 22, 2006
I sat through the first of a few local ISACA CISM review sessions for the Dec 2006 exam today. I brought this book along for class (and CISM certified instructors) to see since the sample exam questions within are quite a different focus than those found in the ISACA's 3 prep books. Today's review session had notes provided directly from the CISM sponsoring organization. The ISACA's sample questions provided today didn't delve into the technical level found in this book's sample exam questions. I agree with a previous reviewer, this book seems to have more of a CISSP focus than a CISM focus at this time. I will focus my prep efforts for the Dec 2006 exam on the 3 books from ISACA (Exam guide, Q&A & Explanations, & Q&A and Explanations Supplement.) However, I will keep this book as an additional resource for my next year's prep for the CISSP exam. From what I see, while not set up by the CISSP domains, the technical detail level in this book is better suited for the CISSP exam prep. At the time/date of this posting, the Peltier/Peltier CISM prep book hasn't been released.
