Yeah so I got lucky again and passed this one too. Didn't study at all, a little bit, maybe 150 questions from a 2014 manual. I did like the manual, contrary to everyone here, but I was too lazy to go through with it.
Didn't have the money to get the QA db that they have online. Didn't want to spend it more like it. Test was difficult for me, way less technical questions than CISSP. 90% of the questions have the word risk in them or they treat/question risk. I was sure of about 10-20 of them. No tcp, vpn, or any technical at all, had about 2-3 with PKI, who's key you use to blah, blah.
Tips for the exam takers: my nature is to look for flaws and as such if you go to the survey page during the exam the timer stops and you can do whatever, restroom and so on. Questions are difficult, they give you a scrap paper and pencil. You can open multiple tabs in the browser while taking the exam. Don't bother searching for the questions online because you won't find any. My pc was unlocked, interface wise, could launch anything and do everthying I wanted.
I liked my testing center, quiet, peaceful. I was done in about 2 hours and took another hour to go through some flagged but I got soooo bored had to get out of there.
Overall experience I liked it, they do have to put some work into securing the interface but it was pretty straight forward with me. I'll probably take another Isaca exam when they drop the price back to 6xx
.
Good luck to you all!!!
