Just finished CISA exam

I have just finished writing CISA exam, I have mixed feelings about it though until the results are released.

Hopefully, I will have bragging rights after passing the exam and give a detailed review.

Who else wrote the exam today and how was it?

ISACA is in Chicago, right? That's central standard time. I bet if they send them out today, it will be 5 pm, which would be 2300 GMT.

I don't know how sending mass emails out with differing messages (elements: 1. pass/fail 2. score) works, but it might take awhile to prepare. So it's very possible they have results but are just arranging/configuring them to send to exam takers.

Regarding the various earlier messages about us being impatient about the results:

1. Two exams with the most overlap with CISA: CISSP and CIA. I haven't take the CISSP. The CIA is similarly given all over the world, yet has been converted to a computer test and is available year-round with immediate results in all sorts of locales like Uzbekistan and the Palestinian territories. Given through Pearson testing centers and its worldwide affiliates. There's 4 parts @ $200/each, so your aggregate expenditure is greater, but each computerized testing instance costs less than half the CISA.

2. Yes, obsessing about results is a waste of time. But caring about results is what has kept me motivated to acquire certifications at a much faster rate than other people at my stage of career, which has also helped me advance more quickly. Also, the early exam deadline for the next CISA (June 2012) is early next week, so we need to know to register early and save some cash.

@mjefferson I agree wholeheartedly with your 2 points. I have a number of other certs and have experienced testing at Pearson testing and it is my absolute favorite way to test. Effective, relies on my ability to follow direction and immediate results. The CISSP testing experience is very similar to the CISA.

I'm guessing they'll be closing the office early today because a lot of the ISACA people will be driving next door to Indiana for the Superbowl LXVI weekend. It's a good thing sending "email blasts" is an automated, database-driven process.

I am baffled. What are they doing? It is almost 2.00pm EST. So frustrating. I want to get over with this to pursue other things.

I think, if the results are to be announced today, now a maximum of 5-5.5 hours left .
If not, we'll wait till monday..
Perhaps the better option for a peaceful weekend

How can they happily watch Superbowl, putting thousands of students into agony? So cruel and inefficient!

Guys,

Just got the email for CISM (passed, not a surprise given like 80+ pass percentage).
All the best to everyone else!

sarge3

More details:

I took exam in the US
Results came from "exam@isaca.org", so add this as trusted to your SPAM filters
Email subject - CISM Exam Result Notification
Results came in at about 8:03pm GMT (12:03 noon California time), Friday Feb 3rd.
My scores between 610 and 700 in all sub-categories, and total of mid-600 (minimum required is 450)

All the best!

Still nothing for CISA...

Do CISM and CISA results usually get released the same day?

congrats to all who passed!

presty

I dont know of the historical dates, but the ISACA website says for both CISA and CISM that "The exam results will be released approximately eight (

weeks from the date of the exam". So my guess is YES.

mowbr4

Yup. I just had the certification department of ISACA just email me and say results for ALL exams will go out today. GL everyone!

ak1153

^ +1. Just called the local Chicago office and they said CISA results going out as we speak..........

Hail mary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

cncncn

Oh..come on CISA. I do not want 600 points. 450 is enough

I don't wanna wait 6 more months and spend 400$ more.
What an excitement..
