Anyone here take the CISA exam? Are the questions very similar to the ISACA database?

To clarify, the questions aren’t exactly the same, but if you learn the material and questions in the database, you will know the answer to the test questions

Nah, I studied almost exclusively with the database, and just looked up any terms I didn’t know, and passed first try with flying colors. You’ll do great. Good luck!

Thank you. I’m taking the exam tomorrow and have just been studying off the database. Then I downloaded an app with some CISA questions which seemed weirdly not too similar (asking specific questions about frameworks like cobit) and then started getting worried

The preliminary screen said I passed. How long did it take you to receive email confirmation? I thought the proctor said it would take 10 minutes but the ISACA website said 10 days...

I studied from the database but there were a lot of questions from the actual exam that were really difficult

Thank you both for the responses. During the test, the internet went out twice and part of me was thinking that my test just wasn’t received. Lol

I have a few questions for people in consulting roles (both external/internal).

My partner is in corporate banking, but he wants to switch to a consulting/strategy-based role. I noticed people with those jobs typically have an MBA, and also majority of the job ads in similar roles has MBA as either a requirement or preferred qualification. So:

1) does MBA actually improve someone's chance in getting those roles?
2) are there any good Canadian MBA programs you'd recommend?

Thank you all!

Currently a staff in audit - 6 months in. Glad to be learning a lot, and have had a generally positive experience at the firm other than a few interactions, some tough busy season nights. Really been intrigued by TAS/M&A, however, and had a few convos with a senior in TAS i know at the firm. It’s closer to what I studied, but don’t know how to make the jump as it seems an internal transfer could take 6+months/senior rank and a lot of convincing. Is it better to jump firms/has anyone done this?
