Prepare for the ISACA Certified Information Security Manager Exam: CISM Review Manual

I used this book by Gwen to prepare for the CISM exam, which I passed first time in March this year with a score of 660/800.If like me you had been somewhat overwhelmed by the ISACA CISM Review Manual, this book is for you!Gwen succinctly covers all of the key topics from each domain, and the example questions, which are set out very much like those in the exam, provide a great deal of added value.In preparing for the exam I also subscribed to the ISACA QAE database, which was also extremely useful. However, it was this book by Gwen which I returned to frequently during my studies, and which I used to confirm my knowledge in the final days leading up to the exam.This book really is indispensable, and at less than £20, is essential reading for anyone pursuing the CISM certification.Thank you Gwen!

This is an absolute no-brainer if you're studying for CISM - no source should be your only resource (the ISACA manual included) but reading the CISM Review Manual over a weekend pushed my QAE scores up from between high 60's to high 70's to mid 80's to low 90's. This book is less than 200 pages, summarises the four domains perfectly, and has some very ISACA-style questions at the end of each domain (I already did three ISACA exams, so it definitely represents the flavour of what you can likely expect in the exam).Thanks again!
