Hello! Currently studying for the CISA and have it scheduled in 3 weeks. Am mainly using the QAE and a bit of the CRM/Doshi videos. How reflective are the QAE questions compared to the actual exam? Is the exam much trickier in terms of answer choices or super technical questions? Any advice much appreciated 😊

Hey the questions aren’t super technical. The questions are based around your understanding of ISACAs definition of a term or concept applied to a scenario.
Make sure you are studying the concepts and topics they was ISACA defines things. Just take your time during your studies. You will do great!

It’s tough to say without knowing your full background in terms of cyber and auditing. If you are pretty familiar with cyber or information systems, I would say it’s easy to narrow each question down to two answers. Once you narrow it down to two answers is where the understanding of the ISACA definition or concept comes in.

Get the ISACA official question bank.

The official ISACA QAE is just fine. The exam mirrors that. Like SC1 said, you should think in terms of how ISACA wants you to think.

Awesome, thank you!! I’m super nervous about the ‘expert’ level questions seen in the QAE- do you feel like the exam consisted of a lot of those? Or mainly moderate/difficult level questions?
