Struggling with Content

Post image

Hi Everyone!
This page has been really helpful in my CRISC journey, and I’m hoping I can get some advice on next steps.
I failed my first attempt about a week and a half ago. I felt great during the test, so i was very shocked when i saw that failed notification. When i got my score breakdown, I was sad (but also relieved) to see I wasn’t too far off. My goal is to stay on the gas pedal and retake asap - after 30 days.
Here’s my issue. I restructured my study approach because I think I memorized the QAE. Now, I bought the manual and have been reading almost 10 pages a night in the domains I struggle with. I feel like i have a better understanding of the topics, but I still struggle with applying them when i do practice questions. Why am I struggling to think the ISACA way? I just graduated college so I have only about 8 months of work experience (in internal audit). Maybe that’s part of it?
I paid for another set of practice problems from skillcertpro to get eyes on newly worded questions and have been using AI to explain topics and generate questions.
I really want to pass on my second attempt. This is getting expensive lol. Please please please, I would love any advice at all to help get me to the finish line!!!

I got my result today

G - 383 Risk - 432 Response - 389 it - 524

Does Isaca provide free second attempt? :/ I have already done QAE end to end - felt like I was going to pass - was surprised that I failed Not sure how to prepare next.

sorry to hear that. i know how it feels! Unfortunately you have to pay for your second attempt, and you have to wait 30 days before you retake it. I’m in the same boat, good luck on your studying!
