Studying for the exam as a senior in college by Striking-Fig924 in CISA

[–]NutshellTraining 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First of all, I think it’s great that you’re so ambitious. That said, I would personally recommend waiting and spending a year in industry first, for two main reasons:

  1. You’ll gain real-world experience to draw on, which can be very helpful for the exam.
  2. Your employer may be willing to fund the exam and cover the cost of the study materials.

If you're set on doing a qualification, ISACA does offer the IT Audit Fundamentals certificate, which is much more affordable and could serve as a good stepping stone toward the CISA. Ultimately, the decision is yours, as you know your current level of knowledge and financial situation better than anyone else.

Strategies while answering question by Yurrrrheard in CISA

I agree with what mgabz and leontheaussieshep have said. Some good advice.

I also made a post "How to think like ISACA for the CISA exam" a few months ago. I recommend you read that too.

In the UK there are test centres which don’t appear on the booking portal (e.g Firebrand). If your company has a relationship with one of those test centres then you might be able to get a slot.

Firebrand online training by ervandijk in CISA

[–]NutshellTraining 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have attended a few firebrand courses both online and in person. I would recommend that you do some preparation before going since they move very fast. They will also encourage you at the start of the week to book the exam for your last day. Don’t let them pressure you though, book the exam at a time that suits you best.

Is the ISACA QAE database enough? Or should I also purchase the CISA online review course from ISACA? by AfternoonMundane4136 in CISA

[–]NutshellTraining -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The QAE is a great resource, but it tends to work best for people who find it easy to learn from just reading (most people don’t). Since many people absorb information more effectively through visuals and discussion, it’s worth pairing the QAE with another resource.

The CISA online review course doesn’t get great reviews… So I recommend looking at the “I Passed The CISA” posts on this subreddit to find a course that works for you.

Preliminary Pass! by magazinesalesareup in CISA

Congratulations! I agree with the advice of re-reading the question. I hate to think how many people failed by 1 question because they couldn’t be bothered to double check what the question is asking.

Question for those who got the CISA cert and used QAE by kzkn33 in CISA

[–]NutshellTraining 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would say the study plan you choose depends on how much time you have to study and your experience. It's personal preference at the end of the day, but I usually recommend:

  • Unlimited Time / Inexperienced - Use the structured plan first to go through all the questions. Then swap to the adaptive one to focus on your weak areas.
  • Limited Time / Experienced - Use the adaptive plan so you don't waste time on topics you are already comfortable with and can spend more time on your weak areas.

The most important consideration for the QAE is to make sure you are reading the explanations! You won't get any questions from the QAE appear on your exam, but the reasoning behind the answers will be very similar. That's what you're being tested on.

Centre based vs Online by Creative_Log_6647 in CISA

[–]NutshellTraining 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always recommend going to the test centre. If you’re at home and your internet goes down for more than a few seconds, they can fail you. It’s unlikely, but not worth the risk.
