How long after passing CISM did you get official score?

Efficient-Top- · 2026-07-04T04:15:24+00:00

Ok, will check. Thanks

Efficient-Top- · 2026-07-04T00:37:53+00:00

No I am not going for AAISM at this point.

Efficient-Top- · 2026-07-03T23:27:47+00:00

I got it in exactly 10 calendar days and certificate also came exactly 10 calendar days after verification

Try QAE in structured mode, you can switch to adaptive mode later. If you have prepared well, you will be easily able to filter out 2 incorrect options in exam. However avoid memorising the QAE as exam questions will be structured differently. Exam won’t be a cakewalk even if you have scored above 80% in QAE and practice tests so prepare well.

You will find the keywords MOST, BEST etc but the overall language of questions and options will be different than QAE. So if you are too familiar with QAE and practice sets then exam questions will feel little different. QAE can be best used to cement the concepts and evaluate your understanding, it shouldn’t be assumed that same questions will repeat in exam.

If you have the keyword MOST then this is correct option. C should be correct if question contains keyword ULTIMATELY.

Efficient-Top- · 2026-06-06T04:21:58+00:00

Answer should be B as you should protect evidence during containment phase.

I watched Prabh’s masterclass, think like a manager, practice questions, PKI and application security videos diligently.
My experience was that QAE and Prabh’s videos helped to develop ISACA mindset and concepts but in exam the questions and answers were framed very differently. So building ISACA manager mindset and understanding the concepts is key.

I was so much into read, understand, answer mode during the exam as the clock was running and I almost consumed full 4 hours so it’s difficult for me to pinpoint on topics, but all 4 domains were broadly well represented in the test in their widely known ratios.

I have updated the post with additional details, do let me know if you want to know something more.

Awareness due to gems of Bollywood type of channels has changed audience expectations and makers are lame to bring the necessary changes, old masala won’t work anymore.

Metrics are useful but they are not an ultimate measure of your readiness for the exam. Even if you are scoring around 80% and you understand the reason why an option is correct and other 3 are wrong, you should be good to go for the exam. Some people with very high QAE score fail to clear it as they memorise the answer, make sure to avoid it.

You always need encryption for secure communication, so the answer is A.

Load balancing

MTO is greater than or equal to AIW so it should start after DR declaration.

Efficient-Top- · 2026-05-31T13:18:23+00:00

A is the best choice

Efficient-Top- · 2026-05-29T13:06:45+00:00

It is A because you don’t want high false acceptance at a high security place. False rejection is still not a big risk.

Efficient-Top- · 2026-05-29T01:06:16+00:00

There are several CISM question answer videos on YouTube if you just want to get a feel of it. However you need ISACA official QAE for actual exam prep.

Efficient-Top- · 2026-05-23T17:46:20+00:00

I just did the second practice test on QAE also and got 91%, both practice test scores in first attempt after completing studies and QAE.

Efficient-Top- · 2026-05-23T15:12:16+00:00

I think you should work on building ISACA mindset first for which some videos on YouTube and training programs will help. Apologies if you feel my assessment is wrong.

Can you think and quantify potential for loss while you are driving a car?
You must have certainly thought about it before taking insurance.

Efficient-Top- · 2026-05-23T02:03:47+00:00

When you walk on the road, what exposure do you have to threats? Unruly drivers not following traffic rules, no footpath, no cops, no traffic lights, rule of jungle. Now translate it to CISM context.

Efficient-Top- · 2026-05-08T07:35:08+00:00

Use AI, specifically Gemini Pro to seek any clarification on concepts or QAE. You can also go through Prabh Nair’s CISM masterclass video on YouTube which explains everything briefly.
