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?

We are sorry to inform you that you were not successful in passing the CISA exam. Wow...I am totally down. I feel I need to ask for hand remark. I do not see myself failing that exam. Does anybody know how long it take for a hand remark?

Congrats to all who have got through and those who could not clear this time and planning to give it another shot - don't lose heart...as you have seen in my case your preparation for this CISA should help you in the next exam.All the Best!!

Congratulations to everyone who passed the CISA or CISM exam!

For those of yoiu that didn't pass, the email you received from ISACA should contain information on how to contact ISACA with any questions you may have, including asking for your exam to be re-graded if you barely failed. And keep your spirits up. You have a much better chance of passing the exam on the 2nd try.

Has anyone submitted the app to become a CISM yet? I got mine signed off by the HR Director and submitted yesterday, and am waiting yet again for a response from ISACA (another "up to" 8 weeks).

Fun fun.

CISA Score: 693

Study tips that worked for CISA:
I ordered the CISA book published by ISACA and their CD Database.
I went through all the material once in the book and answered the questions by domain. I made sure to answer the questions once I finished that particular domain / section.

That definitely helped me understand the format of the questions better.
However, you must read the book and learn all the concepts. I skimmed through some of the material, however most of the subject matter was tested thoroughly on the exam.

I know there are a lot of options for CISA books, but I concentrated on the ISACA book. Even the CD questions got old once you know the answer, but as long as you understand the book and memorize some basic concepts, you should be good.

Good luck to all!

Dear All,

The actual CISA exam questions are not available. If they were, that would allow people to **** by memorizing the questions instead of actually studying for the exam. That would be in violation of the ISACA Code of Ethics.

You weren't thinking of cheating on the CISA my memorizing the actual exam questions, were you?

mazan

i see, so i should review well the question explanation for more understanding,

I've read that the CISA practice question database available for sale at www.isaca.org is quite good.

Also try the CISA Self-Assessment Exam and CISA Frequently Asked Questions.

Read the manual before you do questions. Its not an easy exam and you need to understand concepts.
