Format:Paperback
Covers the scope of CISM reasonably well but is full of repetition. It is full of repetition. Whole chunks are repeated in quick succession, making reading a bit distracting at times. It is full of repetition (see what I mean?). Some might argue that this is a teaching technique that helps press home the point but they could at least have made an effort to re-phrase the repeats.
The exam seems to have a high proportion of risk management questions - I would suggest reading up on that and other aspects too i.e. do not rely on this book alone.
Good luck.

All in all this is a good book.
A reader with a strong technical background will find it easy to skim through the inital sections of the book.
Some sections of the book do tend to overlap/repeat. I have not given the CISM exam but looking at some sample questions
gave me the idea that reading this book alone is not enough to pass the CISM exam.
Might consider complete guide to CISM as a better more comprehensive alternative.

DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK / DON'T EVEN READ IT!!!!
8 Dec 2007
By W. Carver
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I just finished my CISM exam and I hope that I can save someone else the same agony I went through. The material in this book is 100% USELESS!!!! (I'm screaming from a mountain top with no exaggeration). If you find this book lying on the sidewalk, DON'T even pick it up. I spent about 20 hours studying the material in this book and taking the pre-tests and not one bit of that effort prepared me for the exam, and I'm being nice!!! USE THE MATERIAL FROM ISACA, not this garbage! It's as if the authors have never even heard of CISM, maybe there is another CISM exam that I am not aware of?!?!?!

The CISM Prep Guide
10 Dec 2007
By Daniel Covey
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Please do not, under any circumstances spend money on this book. There is actually no real good study material in general for the CISM exam. This book has not been revised since 2003.
This is a horrible book for this exam. DO NOT BUY IT. Plain enough?

Outdated beyond usefulness.

Format:Paperback
Be advised: this book may have been relevant a couple years ago, but not anymore. ISACA has updated and slightly reorganized the exam. I believe this book actually interferred with my prep. The ISACA study guides and applicable experience are plenty to pass this exam (worked for me). Good luck.
