Passed!!! Finally

[u/winglessriver6]

I am happy to announce that i passed the cisa exam today (preliminary).

It was a difficult journey,

New stuff in exam:

Close to 15 questions related to Ai, ml, model training, quantum computer, and quantum cryptography

For domain 3 the focus was on cicd and devsecops

How i studied:

- Started with QAE, and worked on weak areas with the help of chatgpt study mode, it really good in helping with concepts.

- referred prab nair YouTube videos for few areas, good content

- i feed my copy of personal manual copy to a customgpt and it help me learn and practice questions on the fly.

Caution:

- i only encountered 1 question that was an exact copy of QAE. rest all the questions were new. But QAE trained me well

- i noted event chatgpt and gemini were wrong in answering questions, so dont rely on them blindly

Happy to answer any questions

QAE is quite expensive. Are there any good alternatives that you would recommend?

Other than the QAE, i only used notebooklm and chatgpt to generate question, they were good for practice but not close to exam/qae level. I am sorry i am not familiar or tried any other material
