Hello,

I have no idea how to start CISA and what material to read. Can someone tell me how long doe it take to prep and give an exam? Here is my background if that helps you to tell me how long it would take my if I get serious about it -

I am Network security design engineer and I have always been working in networking area. I talk with so many different team and finally I decided to get myself in information system space. I was planning for CISSP exam and read the book but then decided to go for CISA.
I have following certificates -
CCNA, CCNP, CCIE Security, F5 , Watchguard.

Pls let me as I really want to get this cert and move onto CISM.

+1. Just search for "Passed CISA" so you can see how others approached their studies.

I exclusively used the CISA Review Questions, Answers & Explanations Database. I didn't purchase or use the review manual or attend any exam prep courses. I just hammered the questions, with particular focus on understanding why my answers were incorrect and with increased emphasis on my weakest domains.

I can't say that this strategy would work well for everyone but it got me into the top 5% with only 4 months of audit experience.
