CISA - December 2010
Not a very popular topic on here, but figured I'd start a thread. Anyone else takings this? What are you using? Testing location: Richmond, VA Online: Certifiedinfosec.com CISA Super Review - $500, but I really enjoy the course and this has been my primary study tool. Books: CISA All-In-One - Peter Gregory (hard cover and… -
Re: CISA - December 2010
I agree, the CISSP is a good compliment to the studying of the certification. I believe it provides a good foundation coming into preparing for this exam, in terms of terminologies and technologies. Obviously there are different scopes, as the CISSP generally seeks best security practices, whereas the CISA material, as you… -
Re: CISA - December 2010
I am also preparing for the Dec exam. I do like the course content for the most part. It is a good complement to the CISSP. Just using the ISACA study guide manual, practice questions and supplement. I was thinking of getting the question database but that is $185 more out of my pocket for a suite of possibly the same… -
Re: CISA - December 2010
I found this CISA Test thread to be interesting: CISA Test Done - The Daily Nugget There is a lot of folks stating that the test is harder and more subjective than the CISSP. I had also realized that one needs to complete each answer within 1 min to leave a little space for those "difficult" questions. 240min/200=1.2min… -
Re: CISA - December 2010
Correction, The $120 was the CISM db. Called ISACA and they will refund. The correct cost for CISA is still $185. Thought I had a deal there ha ha. Agreed, it is all about learning the CISA culture. I just picked up the CISSP at the Sept test. 42+ years here with Infosec and procrastinated here for the longest time. Could… -
Re: CISA - December 2010
I'm averaging about 90-96% now that I've spent a week on the study questions. I'm understanding why the right answers are the right answers. Understanding how CISA asks their questions, and keying in on modifiers in their questions has really allowed me to pick up on the BEST answer on these questions, that has helped out… -

Re: CISA - December 2010
Well today is the day, and it is what it is. Pencils sharpened and coffee and exam ticket in hand. Hitting mid 90's on the db practice exams (200 hundred a sitting in about 2 hours) I decided to put the laptop away and just do a complete review of both question review manuals. As with the CISSP there is a mile wide and a… -
Re: CISA - December 2010
Just picked up the question database for $120. They dropped it down from $185 which is a good deal. I did some testing with one and liked the interface better than the books (same questions). Doing on a average 80%, mostly due to not taking the time to read the questions or answers fully. That is my main weakness. I have… -
Re: CISA - December 2010
Remember, this was in 2003 when the certification didn't have as much as renown as its starting to becoming now. There are more mature training materials and online resources in a much more organized fashioned. Not trying to say this examination will be a cakewalk by any means, but that we are potentially much better…
