4.0 out of 5 stars I passed!

E.B. · November 5, 2024

I failed my first time I took the CISA exam last year because I underestimated it & rushed to take it. After reading a bunch of passers posting on Reddit, I bought this book as accompaniment to the Udemy lessons. And that did it. I passed this year. My brain could not retain info from the CRM. This, for me, was so much better & breaking down big concepts. Money well spent on this one. And I got a discount on the Udemy, too, because of the unique code inside it. Thanks, Hemang Doshi!!!!!

I spent the last few months struggling to ingest the massive volume that is the official CISA handbook put out by ISACA, and finally gave up midway into chapter 3. It was so incoherent and repetitive I knew I had to abandon ship or risk failing the exam. I heard about Mr. Doshi's book and decided to give it a try. Talk about light-year difference from the official manual and the Red Shelf web-based platform it is chained to. For a small fraction of the price I got a book that is concise and laser-focused on helping me pass the exam, and includes comprehensive chapter quizzes and a complete exam engine all included in the book price. The Kindle experience is a thousand times better than Red Shelf in every conceivable way. I couldn't be happier (except perhaps the day after passing the exam!). The author has not only developed a great exam guide (this book) but also an entire website dedicated to the CISA, and this book is your gateway to all of it. If you are like me and are struggling with the official material, don't worry how much money you paid for it, just buy this instead and jump ship! You won't regret it!
