I took a 4-day Tasting Camp with zero preparation. That got me the study materials (digital book, QAE) and a live trainer in an online course.

I don’t feel I got much out of the course aside from general test taking tips, and by mid week I was just hoping we’d be done sooner so I could work more on the QAE. By the end of the course, I didn’t feel prepared enough at all. I just felt more aware of all the things I didn’t know which was helpful, and I had to re-organize my notes from the training because the trainer was all over the place and wasn’t teaching very linearly, but I suppose that also helped.

The next week and a half, I solely worked on the QAE and watched the Pete Zerner videos. I got the most value out of this and passed my test on Thursday.

Having worked in cyber security for over 10 years, I found the information on the CISM eye-opening. To see the bigger picture of what I’ve been doing all this time, I immediately saw areas to improve our program and began putting them into practice, a very weak after the training camp.

Next year when I take the CISSP, I intend to watch all the Pete Zerner videos in advance. I would probably still take a Boot Camp afterwards, since the company would pay for it and I would be able to ask any residual questions, but I think the prep work of the videos would be the best use of my time.

Seems like perscription would mean “by order of this writing” which is more accurate to its usage, vs prescription meaning “before writing”, at least from a Latin root word perspective.

Update: thanks all for sharing the knowledge. As I’m understanding it from everyone’s input, a prescription is the script written by the doctor before the pharmacist would complete the order to fill it (per that scription).

I’ve been a Rush fan since the 80’s, and over the decades I’ve amassed every album from 2112 to Counterparts. I liked songs after the Presto album, but generally felt like they simplified their songs and approach and went more adult contemporary on later albums, and my enthusiasm waned.

I’ve been revisiting my Rush collection again in the past year, and love appreciating them now from an older perspective anew as well as from my youthful nostalgia.

Aside from just buying them all, what essential albums are missing from my collection? Is there one or two must-haves from the early or later years that I overlooked that you would consider absolutely essential? I hear Clockwork Angels is a nice return to form. Are the anniversary and remastered rereleases any good?
