Preliminary pass... how long does it really take to get results?

Hello all,

So like most people in this industry my patience is not my strong suit.

I was wondering how long it has taken most of you to get the results? Has it really been the ten business days?

It took ten business day for actual results from Isaca
It took five days for them to confirm that they have received my application (I think you can submit it online now instead of by mail)
It took seven days after receiving the application to award me the certification

it takes exactly ten days not business days for my cisa and cism exams.

i took the cisa exam result on sunday.

Hi Everyone,
Do the results come from ISACA or the testing organization and did everyone get their results in exactly 10 days or was it less than 10 days?
Looks like Ashenwelt got their results within 7 days....

Appreciate any guidance

I’d imagine from ISACA waiting on my official confirmation as well
