I have prepared myself for about 4 months (not 2 years!) and have passed from the first time. The exam experience is not pleasant for all folks who posted some info about it. It's a painful concentration on answering the questions that are designed to mess around with your knowledge and to make you doubt about what you know. I have described my experience here: http://securecyber.blogspot.com Luckily, I did not forget my earplugs, and it was very handy. I don't know what you have used for exam preparations but I used the Shon Harris' materials that I bought here: http://www.rtek2000.com/courses/CISSPresources.html You also have to remember that upon passing the exam, you are required to pay $85/year fee and get at least 20 points in CPEs to keep your certification in a good standing. I would recommend to use webinars on security issues from InfoSecurity Magazine and also anything you can get (see the ISC2.org web site for some clue). So, man, congratulations in advance!
