If you’re looking for FREE practice questions for the CISA exam, I found a good resource. The site provides over 900 questions for you to test yourself. However, you can only access 20 questions at a time from the 5 chapters of the ISACA CISA Review Manual, which are:. The Process of Auditing Information Systems. Governance and Management of IT. Information Systems Acquisition, Development and Implementation. Information Systems Operations, Maintenance and Support.

Protection of Information Assets The good news: after you finish the first 20 questions, you can request another set of 20 questions. Each set of questions are selected at random and provided to you in an interactive fashion. Since each chapter is covered by a test bank of 100+ questions, you tend to get different questions each time (until you do the chapter 4 or 5 times). Other good news: You can also choose to take a 20-question quiz that picks questions from a full exam test bank (all 900 questions).

CISA has five knowledge domains. Four of them overlapped with CISSP’s.

I was very confident of my knowledge on information security domain, which carried most weight (30%) among the five domains. After scan-reading the information security domain from the CISA Manual to make sure that it was not deeper than CISSP one I decided to put in most my time on studying other four domains.

The exam result proved that this decision was correct. Although the infosec domain costed me much less time to prepare comparing other domains, it got highest marks. I divided this project into six tasks. The first five tasks were planned to read five domains. They were prioritized according to how well I knew the domains. The sixth was to do practice questions from CISA databases. The books I used were CISA ALL In One and CISA Exam Manual.

I tried to read the Manual from cover to cover but failed after two chapters. Its content was solid and valuable but very very very.dry.

I seriously believe that It was written with a purpose to discourage people to take the exam. Not only did it torture me mentally, but also physically. The font size of prints was so small that I had to use magnifier to read the book. It was titled as CISA Manual for a reason. Do you read every system Man Page if you are a system admin/engineer? I did read ALL in One from cover to cover and finished all the questions from CISA questions database. I checked with the Manual when I needed official clarification for any concept or procedure.

My CISA testing experience was painful, for the exam was stressful and I started having a serious sore throat in that morning. It took me four hours finishing the exam. An interesting thing I observed was that some people did not bring any pencil as required. They got the pencils from the proctors.

I wondered why they risked failing the exam by not simply following the basic requirements. TT, Wow, thanks for your comments and experience. I like the way you tackled this. A few comments of my own: Saying the official manual was dry is an understatement. It’s horrible. I often skip reading a lot of material on a regular basis.

Some people don’t bring pencils and do such things, I think, because they are careless and expect others to pick up the slack. During my CISA exam, a Deloitte auditor opened his exam right after the proctor told us to leave them closed.

He wasn’t caught, but he’ll get his due eventually. When I drive the speed limit (so to speak), I don’t have to worry about getting a speeding ticket. I don’t let those who cut corners get me down.

I just keep being me, sleep well at night, and am ready to meet my maker. Hi TT, So I was actually doing on the track of becoming a CPA and later decided to not pursue it as a career. I halted my progress after passing the Auditing part and had 3 parts to dojust had to stop since I just wasn’t into it anymore that’s when i jumped into my CISA. I would say that the Auditing part of the CPA exam was much more difficult. I definitely learned a lot in taking the CPA examtechniques on how to take it and really understand what the exam question is asking.I was able to carry that over to CISA. What also helped now that I think about it was there’s another section in the CPA exam called Business (which was how they were calling it when I was studying for it). It had Business + Technology.

I noticed some similarity on how they were asking questions to the CISA so I hit those questions as well. Come CISA exam, it was such a breeze for me anytime it was asking audit question just because of my experience with taking the CPA exam (and also had Financial Audit experience).Surprisingly, I finished 2.5 hrs ahead schedule. When I was done taking the exam, I didnt want to go through and change answers so I stood up, and when I turned around since I was sitting in the front, I freaked out because 90% of the room was still filled and the lady next to me gave me this wide eyes like saying what you’re done!? I actually thought I flunked (trust me that’s just the general feeling you get after taking CPA exam lol) but thank goodness I passed.

Not to say I didnt put in the time and studied since it took me abt 3-4 months of solid studyingso yah CPA is a beast. Mack, That’s a great test taking technique I’ll use for the CISSP (assuming I can open that darn book and get going with studying!). I think when I was taking the CISA back then, I still had the mind set of taking CPA. With the CPA exam, they had 3 testlets 30 questions for each testlet and there’s a no point of return after submitting each testlet. I had to change my approach in taking the exam; I marked the questions I didnt understand, moved on to the questions I can answer and went back to the ones I marked needed attention. It was nerve racking because the exam was adaptive so after submitting testlet 1 – it knows your weakness and it will exploit it on testlet 2 and 3. You’ll know your weakness too because it will ask questions with the same genre.

Womp womp womp. After 3 testlets, you’re then tasked to do what they call “simulations” 2 parts. It’s a mix of multiple choice question but also writing up reports, drag and drop, etc.

Lots of ground to cover for a 4 hr window. One thing I will do, when I pass the CISSP I’m gonna keep going to try to get more certs I want/need. It’s hard to get back into studying mode since it’s been 2.5 years since CISA.

IT Audit has more $. With financial audit, I hit a ceiling so fast especially even making a switch from external audit then to what they call corporate accounting. Even if you make it as a Controller and CFO, they hit a ceiling quick. With the amount of hours you put in and stress, I think it’s a diminishing return. I’ve done my fair share of financial systems audit as an external financial auditor and at some point it gets boring and redundant all financial systems will record and report at some point just packed differently. I like the IT audit space moreat least that’s my take on it. I do have to say I’m glad I’m well versed in both worlds.

Now that I’m on the IT side, I can get the external financial auditors straight when they start veering off their scope and objectives. Especially when it comes to SOX horrayy! I’ve tried by different browsers, but still cannot access the practice test link. Anyone know if the link is closed? I have the CISA Review Manual on hand, but it’s really very very dry. Could any of you give me some suggestions on below: 1.

Each domain contains the task statement & knowledge statements, could I treated these as “summary”? Or, I need to remember them? The Review Manual has sometimes quoted the ISACA IS Audit and Assurance Standards / Guidelines, COBIT 5, and ITAF, do I need to study through them all? I mean need to remember the contents or just know what’s it about roughly?

To prepare the exam, is the first priority study material the CISA Review Manual? Please advise if there are more practice questions. Million Thanks to all. 1) Those are the overview of what you should know, the key items are the content within the chapter 2) Knowing what those are for should be sufficient, they explicitly mentioned that you do not need to memorize those, instead a high level understanding should be enough 3) CISA Review Manual has everything they will cover, but IMO the book on Questions and Explanations is more important. The questions will not be identical to that of the exam, but the thinking process is the same. Getting enough practice on that is more important than memorizing the book.

4) If you buy the CISA All in one guide by peter, they do provide a CD with another set of questions, and if you want even more you can buy a 12 month access to the question database on ISACA. I just wrote about my CISA experience in my blog though, so if you’re interested you can take a look at it. I actually thought the review manual was interesting, so I’m not sure how much of that would be useful to you.

Hi Kyle, Thanks for the sharing. I’m neither an IT security expert nor accountant, but just know some on information systems.

I plan to take the exam on the coming early dec, but I just read ch.1 of the review manual so far and it makes me a bit frustrated. I cannot say it’s boring, but it seems many things to know and I cannot find out the focus of the domain. I just visit your blog, it’s cool.

Congratulations for your successful and may I get your advice in case I encounter difficulty lateron? Thanks, Shirley Like.

Hi Shirley, If we’re talking about taking the exam, you mostly are expected to understand the topics at a high level, and not much technical knowledge will be tested (except some things that covers how digital certificate, PKI, etc works.) Instead focus on what can go wrong, and what action you can take to prevent/correct those. The core concept of audit is to anticipate risks and assess if controls/mitigation are in place, and if these controls/mitigation are carried out as defined. I’m not that experienced, but I can try my best to help, no problem:) Liked.
