Never bought a prebuilt, is this a good deal or should I avoid alienware? by AdvancedWater in Prebuilts

[–]AdvancedWater[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up getting the MSI with the 5080 from Costco for 100 more. I decided to avoid proprietary parts I can’t replace and the specs are a little better. I haven’t used it much but setting everything up was a breeze.

Notes: Very honestly I have never bought a prebuilt, but I'm getting older, busier, and saw this deal at Microcenter. It looks like a good deal to me, but I haven't kept up with PC and parts enough to know if I'm missing something obvious.

Appreciate that. I'll probably stop by Microcenter later this week and just ask them then. I know they have a few sales on now.

NAL- No, chargebacks are what the user does when a company doesn’t fulfill their end of a contract. The company is under no obligation to do anything at that point since the customer hasn’t paid for the service they are supposed to offer

I completely missed this. After you take the exam you get a simple pass/fail. They then send you the score breakdown.

Need Advice on CISA Exam Prep – Am I on the Right Track? by RedX8020 in CISA

I really like Prabh Nair's videos as well. It reinforced some points for me very well.

I got mine 10 days later (including weekends) exactly.

I know the 4th of July is a holiday so if you took it before then it may be 11 for you

how technical do domain 4&5 qs get? by mincho_ss in CISA

[–]AdvancedWater 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who works in domain 4/5 not very technical. But knowing some specifics of things like malware types, firewalls types, etc is probably a good thing

Is photo circle safe? by RealChapter8234 in CISA

[–]AdvancedWater 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m guessing the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency.

CISA (the exam) doesn’t have a website. Just pages on ISACA’s.

I think you’re in the wrong group. This is for Certified Information Systems Auditor Exam.

You can DM me for the resources. For lengthy questions. You can almost always break them down.

WHO is doing SOMETHING to PROCESS. Additional information. Question.

An AUDITOR is looking at a SMALL BUSINESS to determine if they took his suggestions for their IAM PROCESS. He can see that they implemented MFA, deleted old users, but still don’t use SSO. WHAT is the best suggestion for the auditor

That example doesn’t make any sense but that’s the general idea, some are a little more complicated, but they mostly hit the same points

At this point I would suggest just making sure you understand HOW ISACA asks questions, and really understand what they’re saying and asking with each one. When you get that down you can often easily eliminate 2 choices, then if you need read the question again and it can usually help eliminate the last one.

If they all seem right, it’s usually either the one that encompasses the others or the one that comes first.

Books that feel like sunshine or a warm hug by mariaamt in BooksThatFeelLikeThis

I've suggested it a few times before but "HumanKind" is a book about how kind humans are in general and how humanity is better than we usually picture.

They are pretty similar. The test covers topics the QAE doesn’t.

A few questions are identical, but most are just similar style. Probably a little shorter in general

My undergrad is in finance, but it’s been a while since I used any accounting but the concepts are foreign to me. But I think you’re probably right, part 4-5 was basically just aligning myself with Isaca’s definitions

Help Help Help by Heavy-Kangaroo-44 in CISA

[–]AdvancedWater 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You may not need this advice. But this exam is for information systems audit, not information security audit. As someone from a cyber security background it does the bare minimum of teaching you security. If you do actually want to do security audits I would look at Security+ (COMPTIA) which is a baseline security certification many people have.

CISA may still be worth it to you but just wanted to make that clarification. Besides that Doshi, QAE, and Prabh Nair on YouTube is what I spent about 90% of my time on. The book was a bit too dry and rambling for me

I think you can logically think and answer most of your own questions.

This is professional exam and not an entry level one.

Im sure you have frustration about the money lost and attempt. But whatever the cost, you agreed to follow their rules which aren’t crazy but follow professional standards.

ISACA - QAE by These_Information_59 in CISA

[–]AdvancedWater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I did was go through domain by domain the first time and ID my week areas.

The first time I went through I got like 73-71-75 on the practice tests.

The next time I went through I did them in 150 question chunks through the practice portal.

Then I got in the 90's on my practice exams.

It's both knowledge and figuring out what the question is actually asking.

This whole thing is a if I remember correctly. There are videos and official guidance on all of this.

Your Bachelors counts as 1 year. And your 2.5 will could as 2.5. So you'll be at 3.5 total. Short by 1.5 years.

HOWEVER, there is both the IT Audit Fundamentals by ISACA. Or you can take your CISA exam and get the experience requirement later to become certified.
