I just did practice questions for a couple weeks. There are common themes within each domain that you will eventually catch on to. Will help you figure out what types of answers are ‘best’

Search for CISA prep apps on your phone's app store. There should be a few apps that are free and some that you have to pay for. Find one that will explain why each multiple choice answer is right or wrong. You will learn a lot that way. I think that if you use the app during your commute time for maybe a week or two, you'll be fine. I did this a few years ago and deleted the app otherwise I would tell you which app it was exactly.

Thanks I will definitely look into this, I have about 1.5 years of experience

My firm’s IT (especially system saving and file locating function) is so bad 😐😞 and they keep doing updates no one asked them for just to mess with the stuff we already got a hang of without doing anything about the issues we actually need fixed.

Or is that supposed to be our non-billable time?

You will be left with no choice other than leaving TCS.
