Recommended CISA Exam PrepIn order to successfully pass the exam and achieve CISA certification, you must complete adequate study and prep for the exam. If your first experience with CISA exam questions is at the testing site, your chances of passing on the first try will likely be poor.

We understand that everyone learns differently, and we want to provide the information in a way that is most useful to you. For some, that means an in-person class with direct interactions and the ability to ask questions of the instructor on the spot.

About the CISA Certification Exam
It is recommended that you become an ISACA member before taking the CISA exam. ISACA membership can confer numerous useful benefits, including dramatic discounts related to CISA requirements, particularly with respect to the CISA exam cost. If you are a non-member, the fee to take the CISA Exam is $760. With ISACA membership, it drops down to $575.
The CISA is scored according to a 200- to 800-point scale. You must receive a scaled score of at least 450 to pass and qualify for CISA certification. Even though you will not receive a printed score result until later, you will get a preliminary pass/fail notification on the screen after you complete the test.
Once you have written verification of passing the CISA exam, you can apply for certification with the ICASA. You will have a $50 fee for the certification application.
