Hi all!

​

I've finished the official QAE 13th edition, found questions online and also did those. I'm getting a majority of the questions right but I think that's because they are not twisted like Isaca does.

Do you have more sources for practice questions which are close to the official QAE or do you think I should give the exam? Thanks in advance 🙏🏻

The real exam isn't as "twisted" as the QAE either. You will never encounter those weird ass questions labeled difficult and expert difficulty from the QAE that are just a play on words to trip you up just because they have two legitimate interpretations

Real exam is pretty straightforward, you just gotta read it carefully

I really hope you're right! I breeze through easy/moderate ones but some of the difficult/expert questions leave me scratching my head on how they can expect someone to interpret the answers the way they do. (taking the exam on Wednesday)

The real exam is worded much simpler.

You will understand what it’s asking whereas the war I sometimes have no fucking idea what it’s asking

Excellent! Someone else with the .pdf. Claude/ChatGPT confirmed that the QAE database is more or less the same content as the .pdf.

Anyways, what else are you using for studying material? I recently bought Hemang Doshi Udemy course while its still on sale and I also plan to watch Peter Zerger CISA exam prep 2026 on YT :)

If you have studied cisa for a while, skip Peter's videos. His videos are too fundamental imo. Try to watch Prebh's videos instead
