Oh, and I just passed another exam, hurrah
I just wrote about getting the CPA designation - a relatively easy task for someone who already has either a Canadian or Australian CA at this time.
You might ask - "so does this mean that's the next step for Krupo?".
Well, probably not.I feel like I have enough designations at the moment.
The CA is great, more than enough really.
But thinking that Neil was going to write in June - trickery! - I wanted to be just like all the other cool kids - peer pressure is alive and well - so I went ahead and registered.
Bonus points to the first person who leave a comment which correctly identifies what's in the above photo.
Fast forward to a few days ago - dateline last Tuesday - I received confirmation this week that I passed the June CISA exam.
With no false modesty, There was never any serious doubt I wouldn't. I mean, I walked out of the exam hall in under three hours.
It's a four hour exam.
Some argue that the exam is subjective:
You will not know how you did when you finish the exam because the questions are extremely subjective.
I, as you can imagine, disagree. I also chuckle and yell "HA!" when I see that sort of sentiment.
The trick to an exam like that the CISA is similar to the CKE - don't overthink your answers.
The simplest "correct" solution is usually the right one. Thinking, "oh, but what if this is also true" will lead to your failure if the "what if" isn't stated anywhere in the question.
Study all you want, but if you overthink it, you're going to suffer.
