Anyone take the CISA recently? Any topic in particular that stood out? Study tips welcome! I am using the QAE database

The database is all you need. Just take a lot of practice exams and read through explanations for questions you get wrong. After you take a few practice tests some areas might emerge that you consistently get wrong, so just google those. For example, there were some security topics that I didn’t have any exposure to in school or at work that I kept getting wrong, so I just read through a few articles online until I understood what the questions were asking. The actual exam questions are not the same or similar to the database questions, but they cover the same material so the database is good prep.
