Anybody in this forum is preparing for cism Dec 14 exam? I'm reading review manual however it's very dry. Section 1 has task and knowledge items mapping. Section 2 has content. Is there any study tricks need to used to digest this material. .?

I see these threads regarding testing dates... is the test only offered in a group setting once every quarter or something?

ISACA's certification exams are offered twice a year (at June and December). Due to popular demands, CISA and CISM exams are offered three times a year (June, September, and December).

I'm in the beginning stages of prep for the CISM as I'm about to finish studying for the CEH. I plan on relying on the ISACA question database a lot, after a couple of reads of the review manual. I've read quite a few posts here where people say the question DB is more helpful than the review manual.

i am preparing for CISM Dec 2014 exam. i use 3 books. CISM Review Manual 2014, CISM QAE 2014 and QAE Supplement 2014. I like books more than CISM DB 2014 (i know they are the same.)

I finally decided to pursue the CISM too... I just spent a small fortune on the official ISACA material; CISM Review Manual 2014, CISM QAE 2014, CISM DB 2014 and the bleeding membership.

Can the CISM RM only be purchased through ISACA?

I plan to take CISA again in this december. I failed by 25 point last year, and did not want to go back; but, now my job might require CISA. In fact, it requires more into CRISC, but I do not see lot of materials for CRISC. So, I'll take CRISC in June 2015. You can purchase ISACA materials through Amazon.com.
