Get that percentage up to 80% correct. Make sure you've seen every question in the database, make sure you've gotten them all right at least once. And pay attention to the new weights given to the five domains on the grading scale.

Questions questions questions. If you are getting them wrong you need to understand WHY you are. Not sure if you read the book or going by your experiences, but you have to answer based on what they want to hear. Not some applied logic from personal experience l.

I keep on practicing questions and m gonna try to do last wrong ones too. It's just I sometimes don't read the question correctly for important words or I think I have remembered few questions which makes me little nervous. If they are not the same question then will I be able to answer.

Is anyone aware now it's 150Qs from 200 with the same time, will it be more difficult?

@pwc2 where can one find the weights given to each domain

Check out ISACA's website. Not entirely sure.

Yea it's on the ISACA website under June 2016 prep section

Got a temp offer for less than a year without promise of turning into full-time. Wanted to know what ppl think about temp jobs (looks bad on resume if I don't turn full-time later within the company?) and what comp should look like (e.g. 1.2× of regular comp?).

Got another perm offer in a different industry for similar salary, but I might have to relocate and I'm concerned the work may involve translation instead of pure legal work.
