I only used the question bank to study and passed. I separated practice tests by domains and tried to go through entire questions in test bank twice, aiming for a score of at least 85%. If you use this method, try to really understand the logic behind questions/answers instead of memorizing the correct answer. Although there were no questions that showed up exactly the same on the exam, concepts were similar.

Yep PwC2 is right, the ISACA study bank. I studied about 2 weeks with 2-3 hours a day, and 5 on the weekends.
