in CISM
Anybody in this forum is preparing for cism Dec 14 exam? I'm reading review manual however it's very dry. Section 1 has task and knowledge items mapping. Section 2 has content. Is there any study tricks need to used to digest this material. .?

    I see these threads regarding testing dates... is the test only offered in a group setting once every quarter or something?

    ISACA's certification exams are offered twice a year (at June and December). Due to popular demands, CISA and CISM exams are offered three times a year (June, September, and December).
    Knowledge has no value if it is not shared.

    I'm in the beginning stages of prep for the CISM as I'm about to finish studying for the CEH. I plan on relying on the ISACA question database a lot, after a couple of reads of the review manual. I've read quite a few posts here where people say the question DB is more helpful than the review manual.

    i am preparing for CISM Dec 2014 exam. i use 3 books. CISM Review Manual 2014, CISM QAE 2014 and QAE Supplement 2014. I like books more than CISM DB 2014 (i know they are the same.)

    I finally decided to pursue the CISM too... I just spent a small fortune on the official ISACA material; CISM Review Manual 2014, CISM QAE 2014, CISM DB 2014 and the bleeding membership.

    Can the CISM RM only be purchased through ISACA?

    I plan to take CISA again in this december. I failed by 25 point last year, and did not want to go back; but, now my job might require CISA. In fact, it requires more into CRISC, but I do not see lot of materials for CRISC. So, I'll take CRISC in June 2015. You can purchase ISACA materials through Amazon.com.
