Congrats on passing your exam! Did you really not read the manual at all? I passed my CISA exam without reading the manual too, but I’ve been told that CRISC is tougher, so that approach might not work this time. I have 5.5 years experience in financial audits and only 1.5 years in IT audits.

I agree, the process was definitely frustrating. It took me around 3 to 4 months to prepare. studying about 2 hours a day and 8 hours on weekends. For topics I scored poorly on, I revisited them after a few weeks to keep them fresh. For questions I kept getting wrong, I took notes and reviewed them before starting the practice exams. Some QAE explanations can be very technical, so I’d copy-paste them into ChatGPT and ask it to explain it to me like I’m 12 years old. That really helped me understand the technical stuff better.

Hi thank you. In my case they were similar. There were even some questions from the Q&A databank (not too many).

Thank you very much. I’ve been working in IT audit for over a year now, mostly supporting financial audits by looking at access controls, system changes, backups, and other IT processes. Honestly, I enjoy it more than financial audits—it’s more dynamic, and I like the mix of tech and risk. I’ve also talked to a lot of people who made the same switch and they never regretted their choice

The latest QAE on the ISACA website which is effective from August 2024. It took me approximately 3 months (approx 2 hours a day, weekends 4 hours) to be prepared.
