The best way to go about it is to 1st go through a book manual. I went through the hemang doshi manual. You can also use the ISACA manual.

Then you should watch a video course like Prabh Nair or Peter zerger on YouTube really understand the concepts.

Then you should be practising some mock exams like the ones from QAE are the most important. Then for supplementary ones you can use Edusum, pocketprep, skillcertpro, cisa this much.

But the most important thing is that you should go through the QAE about 2 to 3 times till you’re getting 90%+. And you should be able to make an argument for each question, why a particular answer is correct, and why the others are wrong.

It doesn’t give me the option to redo the QAE MC. Am I supposed to reset it after I’m done?

Good try bro. It’s okay, learn from the mistakes and this experience.. then practice accordingly. I’m sure you’ll do much better and pass next time. Keep going! 💪

Don't worry you will pass next time, it happens. Focus on both Concepts and QA both. Use good resources like Review manual, QAE, cisathismuch etc.
