RE: Tips for CISM

["Rivest, Philippe" <Rivestp () metro ca>]

Hello, 

I myself am studying for the june CISA exam, i have yet to receive the review manual so i'm saving some time.
I'm currently reading the Standards Booklet, that you can find here (no logon required): 
http://www.isaca.org/Content/ContentGroups/Standards2/StandardsBooklet.pdf  

Its 310 page of ISACA standards, Guidelines, Procedure and lots of reference to cobit (which i have not aimed at 
reading for the moment).

I also registered to the local chapter study session, and with information i have read (only 80page out of the 310 for 
now) i have understood a lot of the fine details and (most important) a big deal of the buisness mind set that i need 
to get.


So for me, 

1) Review manual 2008
2) The downloadable DB of 700 question & reference 
3) Standards Booklet
4) Study group with local chapter
5) Lots of review of the 4 above
6) A bit of luck


I hope this helps, #6 can be ditched but is recommended ;)

really like to know the resources that might help me in getting a passing score.Right now I have the CISM Review Manual 
'07 and a book by Thomas R. Peltier & Justin Peltier.Thanks.
