I passed CIPP exam conducted last month, thanks for your tips it was hlepful. I used full 2 hrs time to complete the exam and as you said some questions where tricky. I started answering questions from chapter 3,4,5 as I was more comfortable with that, then went to 1,2 where I spent more time on.

Thanks once again.

Thanks

I studied from the material that was provided by the IAPP: the CD-ROM and book. The CD-ROM was a video recording of one of their training sessions and it went along with the slides from the video. I would make sure that I know the black-letter law of the various regulations(GLBA, HIPAA, COPPA, etc). Make sure you know who the law applies to and what are the requirements for compliance. As a CISSP, you will not have any difficulty on 3 out of the 5 sections since they are big on technical issues. This is where I need to educate myself some more but your background will be more advantageous than my legal education. If you have any more questions, please e-mail me at promero06@nyls.edu. Good luck!!!

I am also planning to sit for the exam next month. What are the materials you followed, I currently have Official reference guide provided by IAPP. My background is more into the technical aspects of data privcay.
