I was looking for a reference to assist in passing a ridiculously tough exam, and this was not it. I recommend you simply get a copy of the test exam and run it over and over to get a feel for the way the test writers chose to score. The CISA exam is a remarkably subjective exam, and really depends on the frame of mind the writers were in while choosing which answer would be "correct"...
I passed the first try by simply running through the test questions a time or two. But on the ... Read More

I gave this book 2 stars because it's overpriced, misaligned, bloated and quite boring. Lots of time, Kramer used 200 words to explain something when 50 would have been enough. There's alot of minor errors + many cases where the author is completely wrong. The content covers CISA's material but it simply does not match with CISA's domains. If I had to throw a stone to someone, that would be to the editor cos that guy simply did not do his job. There's way too many content errors, spelling mistakes ... Read More

Why use 1 word when 12 will bewilder the reader and make the book that much thicker. I can not believe that a qualified editor reviewed this book.
The wheat to chaff ratio is horrendous. You can go whole paragraphs without coming upon anything worth knowing.
I can only hope that the actual CISA exam questions are not written as poorly as the sample questions within this book.
If you value your time, do not buy this book.

I purchased this book -- unfortunately before I read the reviews here -- to prepare for the CISA. Despite the optimistic title, the book fails to deliver in just about every area. The book is not connected to the exam in any logical form or structure. One of the biggest draws for a book like this is the practice test software. Sadly, this book fails yet again. The software works, but the questions in some cases are just plain wrong! I wrote to the editor and they offered me an errata sheet that I could ... Read More

I purchased this guide, after 13 years of practical experience, mainly for the test materials. However, I did attempt to read the book, and must say that it is a chore. The author's style and usage leave much to be desired.
Most troublesome were the obvious inconsistencies within the test materials. The test results showed that answers correctly chosen were often scored as wrong, and some wrongly chosen were often scored as correct. It's as if they updated the software to "mix it up" between revisions, ... Read More
