How long should take to prepare and sit for CISA exam, after passing CISM?
Is 35 Days enough?

Why CISA and not CRISC or CGEIT?

If you have already passed CISM, 35 days should be more than enough to pass CISA.

H-bomb

I did CISM, CRISC and CISA in 3 months. In that order

It largely depends on your background, but having passed the CISM will definitely help.

Thanks.
I am an InfoSec Mgr currently in my company and also my audit background is most in PCI DSS and PCI PTS Assessment.

Basically! I don't think anyone can tell someone else how much time they should spend preparing for an exam. But having CISSP and CISM helped make CISA a bit easier.

Is there any percentage of knowlede before CISA?
like CISM it 60% of CISA, then you can learn 40% to gain your knowledge for take CISA Exam?
