Passed CGEIT lol... 450 exactly.

good enough as I didnt receive my review manual until after the exam. read few pages from cobit and ValIT.
what pulled me up was government and risk management, both in which are part of my job function.

GL to the rest, time to fill up that application and read more on my final ISACA's cert (for me) : CISA

[FONT=&amp]I also received the email from ISACA last week regarding the CRISC exam:

We are pleased to inform you that you successfully PASSED the exam with a total scaled score of 625. Your score was in the top 5 percent of those testing. [FONT=&amp]We'd also like to add that you're one good looking fellow.[/FONT]

Well, they didn't actually say that I was good looking, but I could imply it from the email.

I'm hoping to complete my application and send it in tomorrow!

I was just notified today that I am now a CISA (8/31). Nice to have behind me.

CRISC Application...

Anybody hear back from ISACA yet?

I submitted my application on the 24th and received confirmation on the 26th. It should be this week if the two week turnaround standard holds up. I think there is a 75% chance by Friday. I can only hope!

I'm just now ending week 3 on my CISM application and heading into week 4. I saw a couple of people have already received their designation who applied the day after me. Not sure how they do these internally, I thought that historically attaching a CISSP cert would help speed up the process. That apparently does not hold true.

So, I guess they'll get to it when they get to it.

I did just pass my SANS GLEG today though.

Congrats on the GLEG pass. I took that last year I think... Weird test... What did you think of it?

Did you do the On-Demand or take the course with Ben?

I thought it was a little strange as well. The practice tests did not prepare you for the esoteric nature of the real certification exam. I did fine, was out in an hour, but was a little unhappy with the exam itself.

I took it at SANS Fire in DC in June with Ben. I liked him, the course and discussion was good, but that's a lot of time to have someone talking to you without hands on labs!

How did you take it?

I did SANS in Vegas last year and the test in OCT. Sorry had a senior moment and could not remember when I took it. The old 386 takes time to spin up sometimes.

CRISC Application update as of today...

Complete - Under Review

I mean how long can they review the thing? Hopefully by the end of day I will get a result.

I'm a few days behind you as I only submitted my application August 1. My status did change to Unreviewed. I assume that everyone moved one step forward today.

Do you have any other ISACA certifications? I wonder if that can help expedite the process.

No, this is the first one I have earned from ISACA. I think it all a timing and batch processing thing.

My process so far has looked something like this

Exam Pass Notification: July 12
Application Sent: July 16
Application Acknowledged: July 17
Application Status change (Unreviewed to Complete - Under Review): August 1

And still waiting for the final notice.

Just got the final notice I am CRISC certified. Anyone else?

Congrats! I'm still waiting on mine...

Should be in next week then. I feel bad for the CISA/CISM guys. It is taking forever for them. But then again they had a higher volume of test takers.

Same still waiting for email....for cism

Received approval for CISM designation today.

Yay!

Congrats! Glad it finally came through

Any updates in the last week? I'm still waiting for mine to get past "Complete - Under Review".

A couple of days ago, my CISA application finally went from "Application Submitted" to "Complete - Under Review". I submitted on 7/22.

*Edit: Cool. Now certified! Go ISACA.
