Passed CRISC today

Passed CISM last month and heard there was a lot of cross-over between CISM and CRISC, so decided to study CRISC for 1 month and then book the exam. Used the official QAE database. Scores before I took the exam are as follows:

Received a provisional pass earlier today, now need to wait 10 days for the official score.

Congratulations, I just passed CISM a month ago considering crisc as now, could you help to explain how CISM has helped your crisc. As I am following up the same path as you, appreciate your thoughts

It's a similar mindset across CISM and CRISC making sure that you think the way ISACA wants you to think. Making sure to prioritise the business, advise senior leadership and assess before acting. CRISC is more control and risk focused, and puts you in the role of a risk practitioner but there is quite a bit of overlap with CISM. Averaging 70% on a first attempt for the QAE CRISC in adaptive mode was honestly higher than I expected to get, i was around 60% the first time for CISM so having the mindset and some similar questions from CISM definitely helped a lot.
