Passed AAISM today !

Wanted to share my brief experience after passing the AAISM exam recently.

Background: 18 years in Cybersecurity across consulting, design, and architecture.
Resources Used:

  • Official Review Manual
  • Official QAE Database
  • Destination Certification Free App (occasionally)

Preparation:

Spent about 2 weeks going through the manual, then focused heavily on the QAE. Like many others have said, thoroughly reading the explanations is where the real value is—it really helps you grasp the logic behind the questions.

Exam Experience:

I didn't find the exam overly complex, mostly because I'm already familiar with the ISACA exam pattern from prior certs, combined with my day-to-day work experience.

All the best to everyone taking the exam soon!
