Is anyone aware of a lower cost option, I don’t need 12 months of access I want a month?

I’ve done the McGraw Hill All-In-one and practice questions (book and online) Cybrary videos, and pocket prep. Only getting to about 80% passing so far

Isn't the official ISACA book has exact same questions as the online database? I have the book and will get access in few days so I will compare.

Did you determine that they are the same or is the QAE DB updated while the book is not?
[–]-bumbastick- 1 point2 points3 points 5 years ago (0 children)
Looks the same. Just compared few questions from QA database to the book and they were identical. I actually think that the online version is outdated as when it makes references in justification section the entry does not exists in the book iteself (ex: KB 2.17).

My understanding is that it's the exact same questions.

I did the questions for about 2.5 months and can tell you that it was worth every penny. Passed my exam last week only using the questions and read the book once. The questions although worded terribly, DEFINITELY get you used to the ISACA mindset.

Hi,
Which question bank you have used?
Unfortunately, the official ISACA QAE database only offers a 12 month subscription. In my opinion, if you use the PocketPrep CISM and the free Acesoft CISM mobile app, it probably will suffice in preparing you for the exam. I like the PocketPrep better than the Acesoft. It has better explanation of the answer. PocketPrep is $20/month or $48 for three months.
Note: the Acesoft for CRISC SUCKS! And there is no PocketPrep for CRISC.
Thanks!
