CISM® Questions, Answers & Explanations Database—12 Month Subscription is a comprehensive 1,047-question pool of items that contains the questions from the CISM® Questions, Answers & Explanations Manual, 10th Edition. The database is available via ISACA PERFORM, a web-based learning platform, allowing CISM candidates to log in at home, at work or anywhere they have Internet connectivity.

Exam candidates can utilize an interactive planner to build a custom study plan, and a personalized dashboard serves as the primary method to navigate studies and track progress. Candidates will be presented with randomly selected practice question sets and be able to view the results by job practice domain, allowing for concentrated study in particular areas. Each question and answer set includes in-depth explanations for each answer choice, allowing the learner to fully understand the rationale behind each correct—and incorrect—answer choice.

Learners will have the ability to review previously answered questions, allowing CISM candidates to identify their strengths and weaknesses and focus their study efforts accordingly. Other features of the database include:

• The ability to select practice question sets by specific domain and sub-category and choose the length of study sessions, giving learners the ability to customize their approach to fit their needs
• Two full-length timed practice exams intended to mimic the blueprint and feel of an actual ISACA exam and help candidates manage their time when answering questions
• Flashcards and interactive games to help reinforce key terms and concepts
