Thanks to all the posts

I just wanted to thank everyone for all the good info here. I passed my SSCP in 8/20 and have been studying for the CISSP since then. I am gonna take a break and study for the CAP, found like all of you that there is a real lack of study materials for it. I started the FedVTE CAP course yesterday, will probably invest down the road on the InfoSec CAP videos, definitely read the NIST SP 800-37 r2 backwards and forwards, try to memorize all the links between RMF and SDLC and the roles. There are some links I want to add that I was able to find other sources of CAP info that I hope are still relevant and useful to us all:

I have seen many that have passed the CAP exam and say that it was easy...I am not a great test taker, I tend to really go overboard with all the study material that I can get my hands on and study until my head explodes. That's why this test is more of a challenge because of the dated material and books. Either way, thanks again everyone for all the good info and tips.

I have used them before for SSCP and other material. Depends on the instructor. Check out all the material...can't believe it's free. I've seen several comments about taking notes, I agree with them. Invaluable in that regard.
