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’

like

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

Help desired from anyone who made the switch into tech for product management or product marketing management:

Currently an Account Manager/Project Manager at PR Comms agency (1yr) and want to make the switch back to tech.

Imagine you're looking for a remote job at a large company with a sophisticated marketing function, strong manager, and room for growth. Making good traction, but then you're contacted by a company in a niche that FASCINATES you...like you read books about this subject for fun, you'd probably love this job. It's remote, the salary is good, the manager is nice, but you'd be the most senior marketing person; the company is about 200 people. What would you do?
