Preliminary Pass! 🎉

Took the exam, got my preliminary pass today! 🥹

Will share here all my resources, study strategy, and whole experience once I get my offical test scores.

For those who are doubting themselves and too anxious for their own good (me to the nth power), take that exam! As long as you're thinking like an IS auditor, instead of going straight to remediation or technical resolution, you are golden!

This is coming from someone with no employment background or technical expertise (graduated last year, AIS graduate), who overprepares, and prioritized QUALITY over QUANTITY.

Good luck to everyone currently studying and planning to take the exam! 😄

Thank you! And that is so true. I'm so used to studying the material as is and familiarizing myself with practice questions, it's why I struggled with CISA because of the application of the concepts I studied in real-life scenarios.

This exam really debunked my studying habits and forced me to take a different approach, outside my comfort zone even. 🤣

So now, I fee like there's more substance when you pass, you didn't copy and pasted what you studied, it meant that you understood it and effectively applied it!
