3.0 out of 5 stars Question Errata Link, March 30, 2004
Co-author here. It has been brought to Dr. Krutz' and my attention that several errors in the CD questions were not corrected per our instructions prior to publication. Wiley has published a link to the CISM Prep Guide question errata sheet @:

http://www.wiley.com/legacy/compbooks/updates/cismprepgd/index.html

The errata sheet in pdf format can be also found @: www.rdvgroup.com/CISM

As to the reader's response that someone in Wiley stated that we weren't the authors of the questions, Dr. Krutz and I were unable to find who told him (at least no one admitted it). Other than the errors which should have been corrected by the publisher, we are solely responsible for the quality of the questions.

1.0 out of 5 stars Outdated beyond usefulness., August 2, 2005
Be advised: this book may have been relevant a couple years ago, but not anymore. ISACA has updated and slightly reorganized the exam. I believe this book actually interferred with my prep. The ISACA study guides and applicable experience are plenty to pass this exam (worked for me). Good luck.

1.0 out of 5 stars The CISM Prep Guide, December 10, 2007
Please do not, under any circumstances spend money on this book. There is actually no real good study material in general for the CISM exam. This book has not been revised since 2003.

This is a horrible book for this exam. DO NOT BUY IT. Plain enough?

I'll just echo what others have said before me: in 2008 this book is so outdated that it's no longer useful for the CISM exam. Spend your money on the ISACA guides instead.
