Today, a buddy asked me some details about the CISA exam. I looked through the initial document and shared it here. The initial was written in 2009.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
after 8 weeks of waiting, we got the passed transcripts and summarized some information to share with you.
The main points are as follows:
1 .
2. The registration will be suspended 8 weeks ahead of the test day. Following the dead line, you must watch for the next test. The registration is split into two stages. One is the early registration stage, which saves $50 compared with the conventional registration stage. There is absolutely no such discount in the normal registration stage. As no one can guarantee that they will pass the test previously, it is crucial to register beforehand, which could reduce the loss.
3. Submit an application for the exam directly at ISACA internet site, register an account number, select the exam type, visa credit card can pay on the web.
4. 200 questions, including 25 questions without score, are divided in to six knowledge areas. The final report card will convert the questions of 6 parts in to 200-800 points separately. If the score of part is less than 200, there will be no score because the main report card. In such a circumstance, you will have no score in that the main report cardThe total score will also be 450 points lower than the passing line, that is, you'll need to pay more than $500 for the examination again. After the test report card arrived on the scene in June this season, there were regrettable brothers on the forum who didn't get any results. Actually , this kind of test for foreigners tests your ability to make decisions in a limited time. Now the answers of CISA are biased towards situational questions. You will find more and more types of best choices, and it's really still very tiring to complete 200 questions. However , in contrast to CISSP, 250 questions in English is significantly easier.
five. The examination time is 4 hours, 9: 00 a. m. - 1: 00 p. m., and there is absolutely no rest time passed between them. Just one person can go right to the bathroom in each examination room,
six. The examination supports Chinese and English papers, which should be selected when registering, and may be modified before the examination. See the website for details. The translation of Chinese test papers is carried out by the Chinese translation company in the usa utilized by ISACA, so some of the questions are incomprehensible during the test, nevertheless the mother tongue test can speed up the answering speed, and it took me two . 5 hours in order to complete the questions. If you have a strong English person, the English test will be better, can avoid translation problems.
7. The examination is similar to the faculty entrance examination, which will be conducted by using pencil coated answer sheet. It is the same examination mode all over the world, inorganic examination.
8. The information mainly depends on the initial CISA Review Manual, which is revised in November annually and updated in December for the examinations in June and December of another year.
9. Simply because that the examination only happens in the world every yearHeld twice, each test will be changed, so there is no question bank to reference, so the usage of recitation is not able to pass the exam.
10. In contrast to CISSP and CISA, I personally believe that 50% of the knowledge points overlap, and after passing the CISSP examination, I will grasp the rhythm of the examination and judge the situational questions. A fascinating phenomenon is that generally individuals who pass CISSP first will head to cissa, although people who pass cissa first won't go to CISSP.
11. The personnel participating in the examination are mainly from the four major international institutes / domestic IT audit businesses,
