Starting My CISA Journey – Best Resources, Study Plan, and Advice?
Hi everyone,
I’m planning to start studying for the CISA exam and wanted to get advice from people who already passed it or are currently preparing.
A little background: I have 10 years internal audit background.
I’d really appreciate recommendations about:
Best study resources
Official ISACA materials vs. third-party resources
Question banks
Video courses
Study plans / timelines
How difficult the exam actually is
Biggest mistakes to avoid
Whether technical IT knowledge is heavily required
How many hours you studied before passing
Also:
Is the official QAE database enough?
Are Hemang Doshi materials still recommended?
Any good dYouTube channels or Reddit posts I should read?
My goal is to study efficiently and pass on the first attempt.
Thanks a lot everyone 🙏
