Materials I recommend using: CRISC Official Manual 8th Edition. And Official QAE.

I'm finally able to say that I've passed the CRISC after failing my first time by 6 points. I am incredibly proud of myself and wanted to take a moment to share my methodology with the community.

Background: 5 years in general security analyst roles varying from vulnerability management, governance, and risk management at finance orgs. Then another 2 years as an IT compliance analyst at a non-profit.

Study Method: The key to passing is consistent study time, which didn't start until January. While I prioritized studying over

I decided to purchase the manual and QAE. I would study every day I could from April-August.

• Reading each chapter, taking the quiz after each. I would record those results to a Word doc.
• Utilizing AI to explain the questions I got incorrect. I used a dedicated space in Perplexity, asking it hypotheticals like "what if X was a choice". This helped me learn the concepts inside out.
• Taking the practice exams, at the end of each week at full 4 hour sessions. Then the following week, review areas where I scored below an 85%. Re-read, take notes on less-known concepts, and take quizzes.
• After all practice exams, take average score and re-read sections where score was below 85%. Take quiz again for these sections

The exam is tricky. I recommend taking it in person at a testing site if you can. You got this!

Update: I am not sharing the official materials. It is not possible to do. Please do not ask.

A little bit of fun as we get back to growing this community and getting to know each other.

I got introduced to Chris' music by my Fiancée 3 years ago. She loved country music, and I rap/hip-hop. She introduced me to him, first song Broken Halos. That's when I got hooked. After being a fan for 3 years, I've been to 2.5 concerts (.5 for the Today Show) and have another one lined up in August (Boston), we make an effort to see him every year. Fun fact, my fiancée and plan to name our first dog, a Golden Retriever, Stapleton!

Look forward to hearing your stories!

The Manual 8th Edition is showing that the risk appetite is higher than risk capacity. Is this what ISACA teaches??

I'm studying for my second attempt at the exam, this time using the manual rather than only online videos.
