CISM Exam Prep - Recommended Learning

 I recently (successfully) completed the CISM exam and its a bit of a monster. Here are a few of my takeaways from the experience: * Read the questions very carefully. This can be a (mental) challenge as the time goes by but I found it was the little things in the exam questions that made the difference. * Choose your most effective study technique. Some people like courses, some people like books. I like using sample exams and examing the answers to understand not only the correct answer, but also why the other options were wrong. I have found this approach highly effective over my 20+ certifications across Microsoft, Google, AWS and now ISACA. I used the following study material: https://www.udemy.com/course/certified-information-systems-security-professional-cissp-k (Paid) https://www.udemy.com/course/certified-information-security-manager-cism-tests/ (Paid) https://examposter.com/isaca/cism-certified-information-security-manager/cism-part-01/ (Free) https://www.itexams.com/exam/CIS
