One of the first things a potential CISSP candidate should know how to
do is proper research and how to determine trusted resources and sources
of information.

So the question is: why are you asking this question to this nmewsgroup?
  Would it not make more sense to ask the folks at ISC2 directly? After
all, they are the ones who will make the decision if you have sufficient
qualifications, not the readers of this newsgroup.

You'd think people who are interested in security would have the common
sense to know better...
