Has anyone studied for the Certified Internal Auditor exam with Gleim? If so, what was your experience?

Someone recently told me they felt the study materials didn't line up with the actual exam and now I am worried. I take the exam next week!

I would say the actual exam questions are worded differently than the study questions (including the mock exams) but once you get over that initial shock from the first dozen or so questions you realize the content being tested is the same. I was nervous walking out of the testing room and actually waited until I was in my car to look at the results, but I passed the first exam. After that the other two were a breeze. Happy to offer any additional advice or encouragement.
