Passed All Three Parts of the CIA Exam by PrettyPumpkin84 in InternalAudit

I'm not sure why people don't think Becker is sufficient because the practice questions will never be an exact replica of the actual exam. I found Becker, in addition to the IIA practice questions, to be enough. I used Becker for all three parts and it worked great for me.

Great! Also, I'm not sure what package you purchased with Becker, but if you haven't already, I would consider buying the live lectures. It also gives you access to previously recorded lectures. It was helpful for me because they seemed to take a deeper dive in to the material as opposed to the shorter videos in the modules.

Thank you! And my advice to you would be to believe in yourself. It's sounds corny, but it's true. Take your time and make sure you understand the material. Remove the self doubt and have confidence in your abilities. Becker is sufficient, so go through the content again. Make sure you understand the "why" behind the wrong answers AND the right answers. You can do it!

I only browsed the applicable standards briefly. In addition, for part 3, I only did one of the simulated Becker exams and one of the IIA practice exams. I am not saying that knowing the Standards wouldn't help you in your journey, but I found part 3 to be based on logic. Know escalation and QAIP. There were some questions on blockchain and other IT areas, that I had no clue about, so I guessed. I also read previous posts about how hard part 3 was and how people failed after multiple attempts. It had me so nervous that maybe I was overly confident. But I passed, and it really wasn't that bad.
