A month is fine. I only did the test database and felt ready when I scored at least 80% in each domain. Don’t just memorize the answers though. The test is fairly easy, especially compared to the CISSP

Like the test dump database? 3 hrs a day is doable in a month.

I studied for about a month and then crammed the week before the exam 😁 I used the book and the database from ISACA. Passed it. Now officially a CISA! 😊 Good luck! 🍀

One month is fine. I Used the Official ISACA Online question DB (not memorizing but understanding what the question was looking for) and read the official study guide one time through and felt prepared for and passed the exam.
