Hi CISMIT, can you provide a bit more detail about your experience in IS Auditing and how much you studied? I am trying to figure out if those with less audit experience in the working field generally have lower scores.

Excellent question .Jaded99. That maybe a factor as do not have much IT Auditing Experience. I've mostly been a developer, IT Specialist, Project gmt and now im an app dev manager.

Call ISACA and tell them you are considering registering for the September exam if you failed the June exam. They do not want to miss out on $$, so they will probably find a way to tell you your result. Just an idea.

Just saw the results in My ISACA page. Passed with 600. Yupppieeeeeeee Congarts to all....

Congrats to all that passed. It sounds like ISACA now releases a relative ranking of your score as well - must be new. And the next common question is certification proccessing duration That is another 3 - 4 week wait after you submit your applucation.

Congratulations to everyone who passed. For those who didn't make it, please don't give up, analyze your scores and focus on weak domains and you will definitely have an advantage in your next attempt.

So close. Dust yourself off and try again in September. Concentrate on your 2 or 3 worst scoring domains and go pass!

If there are 100 people taking the test, you belong to one of the top 10. It meant exactly what it says.

Did most people choose to submit the verification application via email,fax, or snail mail?

TunYau

Email is preferred i think and is quick.... my last CGEIT application approved in 8 calendars day...

For those who have passed the CISA, Help a brother out. I'm going to take the CISA in December, what are the best materials and where should I concentrate my efforts? Thanks.

Just in case anyone is interested to find out how long it is taking to get certification confirmation, I just got mine. (CISA June 2013)

Test results: July 12
Submitted application: July 15
Submitted a requested correction: June 17
Confirmation e-mail: July 23

Not bad at all.

Again congrats to everyone on their hard work and success.

Rufio,

Stick with the CRM and Q&A database if you can swing it.

Supplement with the ISACA materials online - COBIT, ValIT, RiskIT, standards, procedures, tools.

One book I'd recommend that I didn't use:

Information Technology Auditing and Assurance 3rd Edition by J. Hall

I started reading the book while waiting for my results and it really did help fill in some gaps in my understanding...more on the business/accounting side than the IT side - but that was (is) my weakest area.

Please help !!

Your best bet is to simply get the CISA Study Guide by CYBEX and purchase the electronic exam simulator by ISACA. Good luck.
