CISM Review QAE Manual 2014

The CISM Review Questions, Answers & Explanations Manual 2014 consists of 815 multiple-choice study questions, answers and explanations, which are organized according to the CISM job practice domains.

The questions in this manual have been consolidated from the CISM Review Questions, Answers & Explanations Manual 2012 and the 2012 and 2013 editions of the CISM Review Questions, Answers & Explanations Manual Supplement.

The questions, answers and explanations are intended to introduce the CISM candidate to the types of questions that appear on the CISM exam. They are not actual questions from the exam. Questions are sorted by CISM job practice domains and a sample exam of 200 questions is also provided. This publication is ideal to use in conjunction with:

• CISM Review Manual 2014
• CISM Review Questions, Answers & Explanations Manual 2014 Supplement

To help exam candidates maximize-and customize-their study efforts, questions are presented in the following two ways:

• Sorted by job practice area-Questions, answers and explanations are sorted by the CISM job practice areas. This allows the CISM candidate to refer to questions that focus on a particular area as well as to evaluate comprehension of the topics covered within each practice area.
• Scrambled as a sample 200-question exam-200 of the 815 questions included in the manual are selected to represent a full-length CISM exam, with questions chosen in the same percentages as the current CISM job practice areas.

Candidates are urged to use the sample test to simulate an actual exam, but also to determine their strengths and weaknesses in order to identify areas that require further study. Answer sheets and an answer/reference key for the sample exam are also included. All sample test questions have been cross-referenced to the questions sorted by practice area, making it convenient for the user to refer back to the explanations of the correct answers.
