This book has been updated in July 2026. To clear the CISA exam, you need to know the basics of new IT technologies but you also need to know the older technologies since many old stuff are still at work in the modern business world. And there are a lot of business related stuff (audit, policies, procedures, ..etc) that you need to comprehend – some of them are common-sense while many are ISACA specific…
Always remember, in reality the CISA exam is 30% technology + 70% auditing. Relax – many auditing questions can be answered through common sense! The management related questions seem quite vague that it would be uneasy to pick the correct answers without proper business sense (sadly, there isn’t much a training material can do to build up one’s business sense). This book includes questions that are created referencing the latest Job Practice Areas. We create these self-practice test questions referencing the concepts and principles currently valid in the exam. We focus more on the tech contents to make sure you don’t get tripped up by the easy-to-ignore tech details. Each question comes with an answer and a short explanation which aids you in seeking further study information. We want to make sure these questions are tough enough to really test your readiness and draw your focus to the weak areas. Think of these as challenges presented to you so to assess your comprehension of the subject matters. The goal is to reinforce learning, to validate successful transference of knowledge and to identify areas of weakness that require remediation. The questions are NOT designed to “simulate” actual exam questions. “realistic” or actual questions that are for cheating purpose are not available in any of our products.
