As for the manuals, I bought one for CISM in 2015 and never could take the exam until last year. I bought the 2017 since work was paying for it, and it was 99 the same. I'm sure the CISA manual hasn't really changed much either. I bought the CISA book in 2015 and took the exam late 2017 and it was the same. The more likely scenario is DB questions being different than the hard copy practice questions. That plus the QAE database should be more than plenty to pass. Am just starting to prepare.

What was the CISA Exam Like!? I’ll get strait to answering the question I assume 99 of the people who stumble onto this blog are looking for. The name of the certification is “Certified Information Systems auditor” yet I felt like the content was a bit light on the information systems side. This might be personal bias, since I have a very technical background and most of what was covered on the exam from a technical standpoint was fairly lightweight to me. Instead, I felt like a lot more attention was given to IT governance (for example, what is the appropriate role of the board of directors, senior management, audit staff, etc.) and things like Disaster Recovery and Vendor Management. ( Side Note: After studying and sitting for the CISA exam I’ve come to realize most of the organizations I audit are not giving their disaster recovery planning enough attention!) There were also a fair amount of questions on actual audit processes, like which kind of control is best in what situation (detective VS preventative controls, automated controls, and so forth). CISA Test Prep To prepare for the CISA, I relied heavily on ISACA’s official study materials. I primarily referred to a free CISA study guide put together by Mack over at the ITAuditSecurity blog. The Book The ISACA review manual was helpful as a support text for topics I encountered while running through the test database. I strongly suggest you DO NOT read the review manual from front to back as you would a traditional text book. You’ll quickly become bored to tears and start contemplating new career choices. Instead, skim the book for key concepts and terms.http://atlantichurricane.com/images/briggs-and-stratton-35-classic-manual-download.pdf Test Database Questions What was most surprising to me upon actually taking the CISA was that none of the questions in the official ISACA test database showed up on the exam. (Christian, the co-author of this blog, said that when he took the exam the test database was very similar to the exam.) Simply running through the test database and memorizing answers will not help you (at least in my experience). It is much more important you take the test questions and read the explanations ISACA gives you then follow up in their review manual for more details. Thankfully, I took the time to properly prepare and didn’t try to “pump and dump” for this exam. The exam did force me to actually think through many of the questions. What is the CISA Test Taking Experience Like. I sat for the CISA in Atlanta, GA. The test taking environment was extremely controlled with three proctors walking the room for the duration of the exam. We were asked to empty our pockets and put any personal items at the front of the room when entering. Cell phones were not allowed in the exam space and had to be checked at the front desk before entering. During the test, only one person was allowed to go to the restroom at a time and a proctor stood outside the door of the restroom while you went. I saw some people have their erasers inspected (because they were covered in a paper wrapping). If the leads broke on all your pencils during the test, you were out of luck and warned of that ahead of time. The test was all Scantron (fill in the bubble), multiple choice and consisted of 200 questions. I finished the exam in about an hour and a half of the four hours allotted. I was among the first to complete the exam. We were warned repeatedly that there was a zero tolerance policy for breaking any rules and the proctors appeared to take the rules very seriously. In the lobby there were free refreshments (including a soda fountain machine and a Keurig coffee machine) and parking was partially validated for us.https://www.cir.cloud/wp-content/plugins/formcraft/file-upload/server/content/files/16287c37717694---california-driver-s-manual-practice-test.pdf The test taking environment was very nice. Anyone else a CISA? Do you have any pressing questions I didn’t address. Share your questions and experiences in the comments. Your experience was very similar to mine: -Exam is light on IT side, heavier on the audit side. -ISACA guide helpful, but a hard read. -No test questions on the exam. My neighbor opened his exam before being told, a big no-no. Thanks for the mention of my CISA guide. I remember I had a cold when I took the exam and they inspected my Kleenex and cough drops. My biggest frustration with the exam was the inconsistency of the questions. Back then (and may still be the case), exam questions were written by CISAs and ISACA members. Members could submit questions and it seemed like they were simply pasted into the exam. There was no consistency in style, format or content which made it challenging to get into a rhythm. I also felt there was some subjectivity in the questions themselves. A lot of them would ask for the BEST answer or action you would take FIRST. Many of the answers could technically be correct, but not necessarily the FIRST or BEST thing to do. I also agree that the review manual should mainly be used as a reference while going through the practice questions. In fact, I remember many of the practice questions covering material that wasn’t even in the manual. Personally I found the CISSP study manual to be a better reference for the CISA. I highly recommend using it as a resource. You can typically pick one up cheaper at a used book store. Or check out ITAuditSecurity’s blog for reference material. I felt like the questions were fairly consistent in the logic and questioning style used, but there were definitely more than a few (at least from the test database) where I felt ISACA’s take on what was correct incorrect due to first hand experience in the field. Thanks.

A former colleague of mine suggested I try the ISACA CISA online study course. Mark February 18, 2016 at 10:20 am - Reply Hi Robert, What institution did you take the course from? Thanks, V. Cherian Abraham May 13, 2015 at 3:55 am - Reply Hi Shane Congrats on your success of passing CISA. Reading your post reminded me of the process that I adopted for clearing the CISA exams. I also passed out in December 2014. I gave my exams from Muscat, Oman. Cherian Ziyanda July 30, 2015 at 2:11 am - Reply Hie Congratulations !!!! I have a question, do you have to necessarily have IT auditing experience before taking the exam to pass the CISA exam in other words what are the chances of passing the exam with zero experience in IT auditing. I am a recent grad with a year of experience in IT the technical side wanted to sit for the December 2015 exam. Your advice will be greatly appreciated. Shane Peden July 30, 2015 at 7:30 am - Reply Ziyanda, Honestly, the exam is more concerned with audit techniques and the various elements of IT management than the hard IT concepts. For example, there are quite a few questions on change management, logical access, and disaster recovery- which in my experience, the pure IT guys don’t always necessarily understand the workings of from the same perspective as the Auditor or Manager might. Further, there is a professional experience requirement which you probably won’t meet at this time. I don’t believe they have work experience requirements. Haha! I am an auditor for third party vendors on the ISO 270001 standard. It seems like this exam is the most in line with my career goals. I HOPE. Do you have any knowledge of the ISO Lead Audit cert. It seems like most job postings list ISACA certs as required or nice to have. I’m wondering if it would be best to switch up to stand out or if that would leave me high and dry.https://www.acefence.com/wp-content/plugins/formcraft/file-upload/server/content/files/16287c37fee256---California-driver-s-license-manual-pdf.pdf The two tests are concerned over very different subject matter. I’d get the CISA just to get my foot in the door with most jobs if I were you. Expect to be studying a lot more about audit techniques and IT management than hard IT concepts though. Anthony August 14, 2015 at 7:05 am - Reply Ok. Great! Thank you for the quick reply. (: Anthony August 18, 2015 at 9:57 pm - Reply Shane: Oops. Two more? I plan to use what you have under test prep. The manual on here is 2014 and I have a manual from 2013. Shall I pony up the cash for the 2015 CISA Review manual.Ha! Thank YOU! Shane August 19, 2015 at 7:37 am - Reply Anthony, The best training resource is the official CISA test question app that ISACA sells. If your job will pay for the reference manual, I’d get that too, just so you can look stuff up that you have questions about while taking the practice exam. Studying the reference book alone won’t get you far. It’s best to do the test questions then follow up by looking up things in the reference book. Don’t just pump and dump the exam either. There were no repeat questions on the actual test, just questions over the same subject matter. The burning desire to write CISA just skills and ability of IS audit as step up through my work and career in general.Thanks for all comments as I am in preparation to write in June 2016.My QUESTION are there any need to have some review of CISSP. Thanks Shane Shane Peden January 4, 2016 at 8:02 am The CISSP and CISA subject matter overlap A LOT. But the CISSP is more focused on the technology aspect of Info Sec and Management while the CISA is meant is more focused on assessment of Information Systems. Focus on the CISA subject matter now. Passing the CISA will go a long way in helping you prep for the CISSP. Tintin October 7, 2015 at 5:55 pm - Reply Hi Shane and others. I want to take the CISA exam in December. I was wondering if studying for a month is enough.https://avenirpourtous.fr/wp-content/plugins/formcraft/file-upload/server/content/files/16287c38e895cd---california-disaster-medical-operations-manual.pdf I have worked in IT Audit for over 6 years, am currently about to write my ISO 27001 this October and I have just completed a masters in cyber security this September. My point being, I hope I have the arsenal and right state of mind as next years exam will be too far. Generally, is it possible if I study my nights away. Anthony October 7, 2015 at 10:45 pm - Reply Tintin, I would say that you have two months. I would also say that gievn your recent accomplishments, you stand a good chance of passing. As Shane states (and many others) the QA DB from ISACA and the CM will be your best bet, I am also using the Nuggets. I am doing an hour per day with 2-3hrs on weekends where available. Good Luck! (: Tintin October 9, 2015 at 10:45 am - Reply Thanks Anthony. Anthony October 20, 2015 at 11:48 pm - Reply Hi Shane, Question: Any idea how the ISACA Complete CISA Online Review Course—All 5 Modules is for test prep compared to the CBT Nuggets. That and the old exam questions released by ISACA was my entire study plan. It worked. I’m a CISA. Harshal November 20, 2015 at 7:53 am - Reply I have one question. I am having over 10 years of NON-audit IT experience. I am analyzing for career switch into audit by taking CISA certification. Does this suitable for me in getting job. Padmini December 26, 2015 at 8:08 pm - Reply Thank You for sharing your experience. As I see that the CISA Exam in June 2016 contains only 150 questions. Request you to please kindly share the CISA Review Manual 2015 and Questions Database so that it will be helpful for my preparation. I feel bolstered to register for the June exams. What average number of study hours do you think is required. Pie May 25, 2016 at 9:04 pm - Reply Hi. Congratulations! I am interested to take the CISA exam. However, I’m afraid that it might be hard for me since I only have a minimal IT background. I was very interested with CISA.www.csnjl.com/userfiles/files/can-i-change-my-manual-transmission-to-automatic.pdfHasmali Shah June 21, 2016 at 3:23 pm - Reply Hi I too am starting out on this and have a question please on good training materials- after reading the posts above i looked out for the ISACA material but the following is on their website ”The CISA Online Review Course is no longer available for purchase.

New—CISA Job Practice Beginning in 2019, the Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) exam tests the new CISA job practice. An international job practice analysis is conducted periodically to maintain the validity of the CISA certification program. A new job practice forms the basis of the CISA. The primary focus of the job practice is on the current tasks performed and the knowledge used by CISAs. By gathering evidence of the current work practice of CISAs, ISACA ensures that the CISA program continues to meet the high standards for the certification of professionals throughout the world. The findings of the CISA job practice analysis are carefully considered and directly influence the development of new test specifications to ensure that the CISA exam reflects the most current best practices. The new job practice reflects the areas of study to be tested and is compared below to the previous job practice. This manual is one source of preparation for the exam and is not the only source. It is not a comprehensive collection of all the information and experience that are required to pass the exam. No single publication offers such coverage and detail. If candidates read through the manual and encounter a topic that is new to them or one in which they feel their knowledge and experience are limited, they should seek additional references. The CISA exam is a combination of questions that test candidates’ technical and practical knowledge, and their ability to apply their experienced-based knowledge in given situations. These tasks constitute the current practices for the IS auditor. The manual has been developed and organized to assist candidates in their study. CISA candidates should evaluate their strengths, based on knowledge and experience, in each of these areas. The structure of the content includes numbering to identify the chapter where a topic is located and the headings of the subsequent levels of topics addressed in the chapter (e.g., 2.6.3 Risk Analysis Methods, is a subtopic of Enterprise Risk Management in chapter 2). Relevant content in a subtopic is bolded for specific attention. Understanding the material in this manual is one measurement of a candidate’s knowledge, strengths and weaknesses, and an indication of areas where additional or focused study is needed. However, written material is not a substitute for experience. CISA exam questions will test the candidate’s practical application of this knowledge. Although every effort is made to address the majority of information that candidates are expected to know, not all examination questions are necessarily covered in the manual, and candidates will need to rely on professional experience to provide the best answer. Throughout the manual, the word “association” refers to ISACA. Also, please note that the manual has been written using standard American English. As technology advances, the manual will be updated to reflect such advances. This section will cover some tips for studying for the exam and how best to use this manual in conjunction with other resources. GETTING STARTED Having adequate time to prepare for the CISA exam is critical. Most candidates spend between three and six months studying prior to taking the exam. Make sure you set aside a designated time each week to study, which you may wish to increase as your exam date approaches. Developing a plan for your study efforts can also help you make the most effective use of your time prior to taking the exam. CISA Self-Assessment In order to study effectively for the CISA exam, you should first identify the job practice areas in which you are weak. A good starting point is the CISA self-assessment, available at This 50-question sample exam is based on the question distribution of the CISA exam and can provide you with a high-level evaluation of your areas of need. When you complete the selfassessment, you will receive a summary of how you performed in each of the five job practice domains. You can use this summary to review the task and knowledge statements in the job practice and get an idea of where you should primarily focus your study efforts. USING THE CISA REVIEW MANUAL The CISA Review Manual is divided into five chapters, each corresponding with a domain in the CISA Job Practice. While the manual does not include every concept that could be tested on the CISA exam, it does cover a breadth of knowledge that provides a solid base for the exam candidate. The manual is one source of preparation for the exam and should not be thought of as the only source nor viewed as a comprehensive collection of all the information and experience required to pass the exam. MANUAL FEATURES The CISA Review Manual includes several features to help you navigate the CISA job practice and enhance your learning and retention of the material. Suggested Resources for Further Study As many of the concepts presented within the review manual are complex, you may find it useful to refer to external sources to supplement your understanding of these concepts. The suggested resources are references you can use to help to enhance your study efforts as they relate to each chapter. Self-assessment Questions and Answers The self-assessment questions at the end of section one of each chapter assist in understanding how a CISA question could be presented on the CISA exam and should not be used independently as a source of knowledge. Self-assessment questions should not be considered a measurement of the candidate’s ability to answer questions correctly on the CISA exam for that area. The questions are intended to familiarize the candidate with question structure and may or may not be similar to questions that will appear on the actual examination. Case Studies Case studies provide scenario-based learning that focuses on the concepts presented within each chapter. Each case study includes an IS audit scenario related to each domain and questions related to the scenario. The purpose of these case studies is to provide a real-world perspective on the content of each domain and how it relates to the CISA’s practice. Glossary A glossary is included at the end of the manual and contains terms that apply to the material included in the chapters. Also included are terms that apply to related areas not specifically discussed. The glossary is an extension of the text in the manual and can, therefore, be another indication of areas in which the candidate may need to seek additional references. USING THE CISA REVIEW MANUAL AND OTHER ISACA RESOURCES The CISA Review Manual can be used in conjunction with other CISA exam preparation activities. The following products are based on the CISA job practice, and referenced task and knowledge statements can be used to find related content within the CISA Review Manual. With this product, CISA candidates can quickly identify their strengths and weaknesses by taking random sample exams of varying length and breaking the results down by domain. Sample exams also can be chosen by domain, allowing for concentrated study, one domain at a time, and other sorting features such as the omission of previously correctly answered questions are available. Questions in these products are representative of the types of questions that could appear on the exam and include explanations of the correct and incorrect answers. Questions are sorted by the CISA domains and as a sample test. These products are ideal for use in conjunction with the CISA Review Manual 27th Edition.
