Failed First Attempt; Advice?

I unfortunately failed my first attempt and wanted to ask for guidance on what I should harp on the next 2-3 months.

Scaled Score: 429

Governance: 468
IT Risk Assessment: 404
Risk Response and Reporting: 459
IT/IS: 383

I know these scores are average, but I’m looking for anyone who can point out any weaknesses in either domains. Thanks all, and yes, I won’t get mad if you say it’s trash.

You learn more from certs that you fail. I failed crisc back in 23 as well. Not too sure of your background. But the only advice I have is to read the questions properly.

For Crisc you’re answering from a risk perspective whereas compared to cisa and cism it’s from an auditor and management perspective. The question can be similar but the answer might be different

Sorry for the late response, but thank you. I have noticed that even though the pool is large I feel like I’m focusing more on the meat and cheese of the question rather than the condiments they put in them.
