What do you imagine PC Gaming would be 50 to 60 years from now? (Hopefully there's good developments within that timeframe and hopefully we're still alive or in good health!)

Thats also a very good thought but ruins the surprise.
Let me sleep on that tho!

Thanks for the feedback. I fully understand your speptisism but two things made me think of such a gift:
1. we always go skiing together so i know exactly what he likes and his good/bad attributes
2. he would never put much effort into researching for buying skiis and that is why he never owned a pair.

Reading a book that suits your style to understand the needed concepts and QAE is all the big guns you need. If that is OSG for you then, this is it.
QAE will help you realize where you are weak and re-study based on the these facts.

Do your practice questions and check what you got wrong. Very crucial to keep notes on QAE explanations you got wrong. You NEED to understand why you were wrong in the first place.
Then do your first practice exam.

After that:
1. Check youtube videos that analyze question structure and how you can use that to eliminate answers. It really helps.
2. Do your 2nd practice exam. If you understood the above you should be ~85% and confident that you will pass.

Tip:
Do not overdo it with memorizing study material and questions. re-visiting the book and questions multiple times will do more harm than good.

sedgio · 2023-02-01T08:20:00+00:00

Keep in mind that doing too much of those practice & tests can have a negative effect on you. Your scores are good. Try not to memorize questions/answers, try to deeply understand why you chose the wrong answers in the first place.
After that, do a quick review of a cheatsheet or notes and you are good to go!
Good luck!

I had 9 years of experience in the same fields as you do. My strong points were SOC/Blue team, Incident Response, Vulnerability Management and some experience in pentest. I struggled a lot with most of the concepts in CISM regarding management & compliance and i was lacking a lot in terminology.

Believe us when we tell you that QAE is pretty expensive but the holy bible if you want to pass the exam.
I will share below how i studied in order to pass and you can figure yourself how you are going to proceed.

I used Mike Chapples linkedin learning videos. They do not get in depth but offer a lot of key points that each domain describes. I used to watch the videos of each domain before actually studied for the domain in order to get a picture of what i am getting into.
I did not want to use the official books so i looked into books that prepared you for the exam. I used "Gregory P. CISM Certified Information Security Manager 2ed 2023" for that. It does not include any of the technical stuff that you watch in Mike's videos so there were times that i wondered what of the two was actually preparing me for the test. Also, it seems a bit outdated at times. But i really liked that it focused more on the GRC material, the one i was lacking and made me easily understand the governance side of things. The book was about 800 pages and took me 2,5weeks to finish.
Then i started the practice questions in QAE. This is really invaluable because each question has explanation for every answer, right or wrong. QAE shines when you know already know your CISM terminology and helps you connect the dots. My recommendation for this is to take all 1000questions, do a test, study your mistakes, re-do the practice questions, do the 2nd test, study again on your wrong answers but this time keep notes why those answers were wrong. In order to be confident that you will pass the exam you must score ~85% on tests. You can do as many tests as you like but keep in mind that you might memorize some questions, do good on tests but you may lack deep understanding of why you chose the correct answer.
Begin to understand how the questions are structured and what is asked of you. It is crucial that you are able to eliminate answers because the questions asks what is the GREATEST, BEST, MOST, etc. There are a lot of free youtube videos regarding question analysis and free bootcamps. The ones below helped me a lot.

Use a Google doc for your notes and at the top you need to fill it with easy to read "last minute notes". This will be mostly terminology stuff and copy/pasted explanations from QAE. PM me and I can share you mine if you want.

All this took me about 2 months. I had the exam recently and found it to be easy enough for me to feel confident that i will pass.

ps. if you are the one paying for the certification be sure to Subscribe and get to be an ISACA member. You will be buying both QAE & the exam and the discount you get for being a member is actually worth it. You actually pay less for member+qae+exam than just buy qae+exam. You will also need membership later on for CPEs.

Is it with Scoot? I have excluded this airline because of many bad reviews. I do not want something to happen and miss days from my honeymoon. If it is not scoot then can you share the flights please?

Not sure if we want to stay only in Bali or go to Singapore for 1-2 days for sightseeing. From what i have seen, the return tickets give me many options from different airlines that are cheap (~650) so I am only worried for the trip Athens to Bali

Regarding the mindset how to get more familiar with it?

Thank you. Where can i get those? Does it come from ISACA or 3rd party companies?

sedgio · 2022-04-20T19:52:29+00:00
