in CISM
Took the CISM on 12/16, provisionally passed. Received the official pass and score report today (12/26). The test took about 1.5 hrs to complete.
Scaled score 613
Information Security Governance
574
Information Risk Management and Compliance
644
Information Security Program Development and Management
598
Information Security Incident Management
637
Preparation
I bought the manual but after reading a few pages I feel like the book would be better as a reference than a review source, it's pretty dry. Instead, based on trying to read the manual and advice often given here, I used the Q&A database as my only preparation. From my experience, I'd say maybe 20% of the actual exam questions were similar to the Q&A database questions.
Thoughts
Overall, I thought the Q&A database practice questions and the actual exam were pretty straight forward. Now to submit the paperwork.

@averageguy72.. A Very big Congratulations to you. Just for the sake of others who lurk around for information on how to passed the CISM. You're saying you only used the Official ISACA Q&A as your only source to study for the Exam? -

Correct, I only used the Q&A database to prepare. Edited the post to clarify, just realized I had "Q&E" rather than "Q&A".CISSP / CCSP / CCSK / CRISC / CISM / CISA / CASP / Security+ / Network+ / A+ / CEH / eNDP / AWS Certified Advanced Networking - Specialty / AWS Certified Security - Specialty / AWS Certified DevOps Engineer - Professional / AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional / AWS Certified SysOps Administrator - Associate / AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate / AWS Certified Developer - Associate / AWS Cloud Practitioner
