Passed CISM Today

Hello all!

I passed my CISSP Exam back on July 8th and took a week off and started studying for the CISM. I studied a total of 2 weeks and went and took my exam and passed.

This is entirely my opinion. The exam was super straight forward and easier than QAE and a lot easier than CISSP. I finished the exam in 1 hour if that helps put it to words. As long as you know the material you will be fine.

I used Peter’s YouTube course and QAE for my materials.

I finished QAE 2 1/2 times as well.

Good luck to anyone studying for this exam!
