Recently failed ISACA CISM. Read the official manual and completed QAE 4 times. Felt extremely confident and cause answer why each answer was either right or wrong to every question on QAE (averaged closed to 90% on QAE and practice exams). However, I got provisional fail. The test questions seemed to be worded horribly.

1. Did anyone else have similar issues with exam (whether pass or fail)?
2. What sources beyond manual and QAE got exam questions to click and allow you to pass?

Recently failed first attempt at ISACA CISM. Read through official ISACA Manual and completed ISACA Online Course. First QAE passthrough score just below 60%. Then practice exam 1 score of 68%. Subsequent passthrough of QAE was upper 80s and practice exam 2 score of 90%. I have good grasp of material and ISACA mindset as it relates to QAE (focused on reasoning for answer choice instead of memorizing). However, I felt exam was extremely ambiguous and different style questioning than all QAE. Any recommendations to pass on second attempt?
