Read the official materials and know best practices in all the domains. It's a tough test to "crack" because of ISACA's question style.

They tend to ask what the best answer is, while giving you at least two that are technically correct. You'll do fine if you know how things work in the real world, not as good if you just memorize things before the exam. (Yes, I have a CISM)

Thank you!

Any good recommended books on how to build a scalable product and team? I'm looking for recommendations for two areas: 1) in general laying the groundwork in a startup to have the tools and especially processes in place to scale, and 2) tactical focus on building a SaaS project. I've been promoted into a management role from Dev roots, so need to learn more PM processes to be an effective manager in day job, plus would like to start building my own SaaS solution.
