Passed CISM - did not prepare.
I just passed the CISM exam, and I didn't prepare at all. First I don't really have time to do it, but I was motivated by some forum posts recently and I thought I'd give it a go!
Went with the mindset of: Think like a manager, risk assessment is good, don't overthink questions
I don't know what my score is yet but I passed. The questions weren't really strange, just real world scenarios, play on words, and just basic high level stuff that I've seen over and over in my day to day jobs

Goal: MBA, Jan 2021

you will pass & find it easy for sure. if you want to be sure you can buy the Q&As they're about 200$ish
I've seen this happen to other people that claimed to have passed without preparation then they find out later that they failed. Yep, pretty normal
I kid, I kid. This happened to me as well if my memory serves me correctly.

HAHA my eyes poked holes in the screen to make sure I says I passed. Now I have no evidence of it
Because it didn't happen. It is not what you know, but what you can prove.

It took eight days to receive any notification from ISACA that I passed. The duration may be different for other people but you will just have to wait until they send you an email.
Also, congratulations!

Heh, not surprising. Did you find it challenging at all?
No I didn't find it challenging, but it was a long exam. 150 questions, and I had to reach each question, read all the answers, think of a real world situation applicable to it...try to reason and see what the best answer might be. Mind you some questions were straightforward, but I did have to think thoroughly for the majority of the question. I think part of it is because I didn't know what to expect so I was a bit cautious. I took 3 bathroom breaks and eat some biscuits that were in the table just to distract myself
Guess it's time for me to get off my ass.
UnixGuy: Congrat.. I'm taking CISM on 22nd December.
I'm reading the AIO CISM guide and it seems fairly straightforward.
I read that they changed the exam timeframes throughout the year. Is that right?
Does PearsonVue offer it? (I haven't gone through the steps on the ISACA website to sign up yet).
I'm not a fan of hearing about the post-exam fees just to claim the certificate.
I hope that your newest credential will give you immediate mileage.
I was seriously concerned I would screw it up since I didn't get any sleep last night, but it worked out. I just got real hopped up on sugar and caffeine before I went in.
I think we need to book the exam for Cyberguypr and schedule it for him as a Christmas present
i did the same thing for CISM, CISA and CRISC.
Wouldnt dare do it for Cisco lol.
It's possible to pass the exam without the requisite experience and then wait up to five years to get the experience to qualify for certification. Then submit your application fee with your application. That way you don't waste $50.
Overall it was still cheaper than my CEH/CHFI exams.
Oh yeah, got my score back. Made a 621, which is way better than I was expecting. I think my next cert will be CISA since I have invested all this time getting brainwashed by ISACA.
