Did anyone recently pass CISM? I’ve been studying and using the QAE. I went through it the first time getting above 70. The second time I am getting 80+ % in the overall domains but some sections have challenging and odd questions where I would have a lower percentage for that group of questions, in the 70 %.

Would the exam have a mix of easy and hard questions? Are the topics and points in the QAE the same on the exam? Any surprise topics on the exam you didn’t see before?

I didn’t take it recently (3 years out now, but not much has changed). A couple of things I remember from the exam: 1. Not many questions on cryptography. 2. No real surprises. Questions in general are very clear, but from the four choices given, two could have been the correct answer for many of the questions, and I found the test to be a bit frustrating because of that. I passed nonetheless. I also used the QAE and found that it served as an excellent preparation for the actual exam as the QAE provides you with the “look and feel” of the exam. I also bought the Pocket Prep app for the IOS and found that to be a very good supplement to the QAE. Main tip: Read all questions and answers very carefully. Good luck!
