This is the best CISA exam prep book available.

When studying for the CISA, I started with the official CISA Review Manual from ISACA. However, I quickly turned to the All-in-One Exam Guide instead, as it is much more readable and usable as an exam prep resource. The CISA Review Manual should be used as the definitive resource to determine if something will or will not be on the exam, but there is a difference between the "definitive resource" and the one that will most help you pass the exam. The CISA All-in-One guide is the one that will help you pass the exam.

With the help of this book, I not only passed the exam, but also received the award for the highest score in the world for that round of exams.

Here is my advice for preparing for the CISA exam:
- Read the All-in-One Exam Guide cover-to-cover
- Work through the practice questions provided by ISACA
- Use the All-in-One Exam Guide to review any weaker areas identified by the practice questions

Good Luck!

I just receive my PASSED score from CISA exam, I bought at Amazon kindle Peter's book as study material and bought the official ISACA material as primary study content like book and sample questions. THERE IS NO SUPPLEMENT FROM ISACA STUDY MATERIAL but I HIGH recommend Peter's book since it is easy to read up to the end and has an audit conducting process at the end that give you the opportunity to know the entire processes, that it's very important for your performance at the CISA exam, It was very helpful to me because I never has direct experience at any audit process.

The formula that works for my was in four months before the test, read peter's book 2 times then read 3 or 4 times the ISACA material, LOTS's of test examples and relax 1 week before the exam, just review your book's

I got this book in addition to the ISACA CBK for the CISA exam. Of the two, I definitely preferred this one, as it's a very nice easy to read manual that compliments the ISACA CISA exam guide. As with any situation where you have two different authors writing about the same subject, you'll find that there are areas where one book goes into more depth than another. That's the case here, although it's not nearly as bad as with ISC2's CBK for the CISSP and the CISSP All-in-One.

I had to take away one star since the format of the book is not consistent throughout (some chapters have a summary and then points of interest, in other chapters this is reversed, and in some one or the other are missing). I also had an issue with the lack of questions in the book itself. Considering the size of each chapter, there's no reason to limit yourself to 10 questions per chapter (this is especially true for chapters 5 and 6, which run 100+ pages).

I did rely on this book heavily for the CISA exam, and while I do not know whether or not I passed as of yet, I did find the exam to be easier to me than the CISSP. This book was a big part of that.

I purchased this book maybe two days before the exam. I have worked in the information assurance area (FISMA compliance and IV&V work in particular) for years, but wanted to be certain I understood ISACA-specific terminology, which doesn't always map to the way terms are used in the frameworks of other disciplines. So, this book was what I needed. Something not too long-winded, with a good table of contents and index, concise but comprehensive.

Every concept has been described in a simple & lucid manner.This book is useful not only to CISA aspirants but also to CISAs as a referencer.

I really didn't like this book, many important topics are not addressed and the level of details just seems inconsistent between a chapter and another. I think this book was published in a hurry without being completed.

You can try a simple test: take the CISA question database, and try to find the answers using this book. You'll see it's not there. You need the official CISA Review manual for the exam.

Perhaps my expectation was too high. The reason for getting this book was due to my (positive) experience with CISSP book from the publisher (Shon Harris). However, this book, compared to the CISSP one, seemed unorganized and not as well-written.

1. I didn't notice it as much with CISSP chapters, but while reading the book, it's hard to keep track of what topic/subsection the paragraph is really under. The writing relied on section headers for transitions rather than writing the transitions in. In other words, if you didn't look at the subsection headers (which looked similar between main section vs subsection vs sub-subsection), you wouldn't be able to really follow how the concept you are reading ties in to the whole picture. Furthermore, the summary section is more like *excerpts* of summary rather than an actual summary of the topics that were discussed. That is, it does not actually summarize all the important topics. It goes into too much detail on certain topics and doesn't cover all the topics that were discussed.

2. There were some questions with wrong answers and blatantly wrong explanation. While taking the exams in the CD, I noticed a wrong answer and explanation to the CD. I tried looking for errata but there does not seem to be one. The book/CD claims the following (through one of the questions:

If you encrypt something with *private* key, then verified with *public* key, confidentiality is accomplished.

Are you freaking kidding me? Public keys are public, meant to be known by *everyone*. If you encrypt anything with private key, anyone with public key (i.e., everyone) can decrypt the message. So confidentiality is *not* achieved. Perhaps the book meant to say encrypted with public key then verified with private key, but something as important part as test exam should have been more careful.
