CISM Review Questions, Answers & Explanations Manual 2012

The CISM Review Questions, Answers & Explanations Manual 2012 consists of 700 multiple-choice study questions, answers and explanations, which are organized according to the newly revised CISM job practice domains. The questions in this manual appeared in the CISM Review Questions, Answers & Explanations Manual 2011 and in the CISM Review Questions, Answers & Explanations Manual 2011 Supplement and have been reorganized to reflect the job practice that is effective in 2012. These 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. Sample questions contained in this manual are provided to assist the CISM candidate in understanding the material in the CISM Review Manual 2012 and to depict the type of question format typically found on the CISM exam.

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

• Job practice area - Questions, answers and explanations are sorted by the current 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.
• Sample 200-question exam - 200 of the 700 questions included in the manual are selected to represent a full-length CISM exam, with questions chosen in the same percentages as the 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.
