Passed CISA on my first try.

Free practice tools were hard to find when I was studying so I built one.

200 questions, all 5 domains, real ISACA-style

“what should the auditor do FIRST” pain.

Mock exam, weak-area tracking, smart repeats.

No sign-up. No data collected. Just practice.

Still tweaking it as people send feedback.

Tried it? Send ideas or improvements via comment or DM. 😁
