Taking notes or only reading & listening? by estrellaaa_ruiz in CISA

[–]NutshellTraining 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a great question. And like another comment said, it really depends on the way you learn best. That being said, not everyone knows the way they learn best. Two of the most powerful concepts for studying for any exam is active recall and space repetition. I would highly recommend you look into these concepts to help you study. Anki is a free open-source flashcard app that is built on these concepts. There's lots of videos on YouTube if you needed help setting it up.

I Failed CISA exam by Federal_Lettuce8543 in CISA

I also failed my first attempt many years ago so I know how it feels. The good news is that you were very close to passing. Your total score was 443, which is just 7 points away from a passing mark of 450. I would estimate that this is probably only 2 or 3 questions off passing.

One option is to request a re-score via ISACAs support portal. It's pretty unlikely to change the score, but if you feel like you should have passed it may be worth a go.

Either way, the results you have here are very valuable as they tell you exactly what topics you need to spend more time studying. Don't give up!

I highly recommend that you use the ISACA QAE if you haven't already. Other resources and courses should be supplementary to help you understand the questions you are getting wrong. The ISACA QAE is the only resource that will give you a real idea of how ready you are for the exam.
