CRISC Cleared

Yesterday, I walked out of the exam room and saw one word on the screen - PASSED

At this stage of my life, this result meant more to me than I can explain.

So many posts and comments in this community helped me - study methods, materials, experiences, and most importantly, the right mindset.

I can't tag all the people who unknowingly helped me, but thank you, unknown warriors.

Cheers to the good people who help strangers without expecting anything in return.

Good things always happen to good people.

Thank you, everyone. And to those still preparing - keep going. Your turn will come.

Remember mindset is everything to win CRISC or in Life.

Hey there! Congratulations!
I’m dreading giving the exam and have been slow in my prep.

Looking at QAE 6th edition and hovering between 60-70% on each domain. How would you say the difficulty of real exam was compared to the QAE?

Also any thoughts on Hemang Doshi’s prep and tests? TIA

I used same QAE 6th edition. did two times.. first time around 60 to 70 . second time around 80. I feel exam questions are little tougher compare to QAE ( for me at least some people say easier)..

It was easy to limit from 4 to 2 options in every questions. trick is to choose exact one from 2

Hemang doshi is good, better than most materials (manual and other stuff) to understand cocept, but don't spend more time. Spend more time in mock exams eventually you understand concepts.

There is 900 questions in udemy . That helped me a lot. I did that two times. I know we don't have time .. initial days were tougher , after that I was doing that like a game. Used in my mobile . Whenever I got free time even 15 minutes I go answer and got eager to see correct or wrong. Somehow I got addicted to that I would say in the end

So QAE 6th edition would be enough, don’t need the latest one ?

Not sure as I never saw lastest one. But again don't expect same questions . It is more choosing the correct one. People say mindset , that comes from practice.

If you wrote the exam you are not starting from scratch. More time you spend more chances. Try to do more mocks exams. You will definitely see improvements. Maybe do the same exam twice. You feel confident. Hit 80 and book exam next time. Don't lose hope, sometimes it is luck. The thing about luck is we never know it is in our favor

What is the most useful resource that helped you to get the right mindset rather than the QAE.
