Almost similar. Yes, taken and passed in 1 go with 5-6 days prep so pretty easy tbh

Found CISM to be a bit trickier than CISA. Questions where very straightforward, but the answers where structured in a way that two could have been correct (in an obnoxious manner I might add). Prep for both - I used the Q&A database on ISACA’s website (I think it’s $185 for 12 month access if you’re a member) - that’s all you really need.

Yeah. I’d agree with taking the QAE subscription for sure and do some flash card prep from quizlet too

CISA is definitely easier in my opinion
