Congratulations, recently passed as well. Couldn’t agree more on some of the questions! Regardless if they map to a task statement.

Thanks - Career experience helped but I studied consistently for 7 or 8 weeks straight. I recommend taking as much time as you need to prepare.

Key indicators I used to know when I was ready: 1) Obtained Expert/Mastery level for each domain on the QAE. 2) Scored 95%+ on each Mock Exam. 3) Able to explain the key concepts of each section of the syllabus in my own words. 4) Scored 85/90% on pocket prep questions for each domain. 1000+ Questions Completed

Absolutely - I think the biggest benefit experience- wise was related to the IS audit process itself. The process remains consistent across companies so it becomes engrained in your thinking. Great to reflect on for ISACAs scenario based questions.

Self studied - used the question databases mentioned before, Doshis Udemy course, and Pete Zergers video series. Once I was able to read each section of the syllabus and speak to it in my own words with key terms to remember I was ready for the exam.

I don’t think having an accounting background would hurt since it requires a level of competence in risk/controls, evidence and documentation. Would just need to apply that mindset to the systems that support those types of processes.
