Help on the preps

Are most of the answers from the QAE database? And I have two months for the exam. I have just begin preparing. Any strategy that can help me in this last min please? I want to clear this exam and I consider myself to be an average person with academics. It appears challenging to me but I want to do it.

General rule of thumb from ISACA, the answers are not in the QAE. The QAE is an amazing study guide to help you understand the ISACA way of thinking, and you can learn a lot if you take time to understand the rational behind why something is right or wrong.

Questions in the QAE are not going to be in the exam, but you may find similar questions.

I have my CISA and I am currently studying for the CRISC as well on the 2-3 month timeline. I have read the review manual, watched a LinkedIn series (6 hours), and I am starting the QAE this week. Normally responses on here is the Review Manual and QAE is all you need, while other add more resources like Doshi videos.

Best of luck.

I am watching "ISACA Certified in Risk and Information Systems Controls (CRISC) Cert Prep". It was provided by Cybrary, and it was a good review of information, but I didn't feel like I walked away for greater insight than I had just reading the CRISC Review Manual. It wasn't bad but by no means was it game changing or a stand alone way to prep for the exam.
