Just took the CISA today. The test itself was easier than the ISACA sample questions available through their website.

How did you study? I take it tomorrow and have just been cramming the question bank for the past week.

Same thing your doing. Crammed through the question bank for a week. I focused on 2 domains only - protecting information assets and the process of auditing. My readiness score from the question bank hovered at 70% readiness. I got a lot of questions on EUC, the role of the IT steering committee, and systems development. A common theme among the easy questions was “what would you do if X happens during an audit”.

I took the CISA 2 years ago. Now I want to take the CRISC. I prepped the same way you did, just studied the questions.

Good luck on the CRISC. Please let us know how it goes. :) Next thing I’m after is the CISSP.

Is it best to just use their website and test bank or drop the $350 on the Surgent review course?

I found the ISACA test bank to be very helpful and well worth the $300. I did all 999 questions and studied the reasoning behind answering questions right or wrong. Would google topics I was very unfamiliar with. Passed with a 655/800. 3 weeks of studying about 2 hours a day and some days off.
