Step 1 of 2

Rate how each domain went

ISACA's score report includes domain-level results for information only, and the candidate guide does not name rating levels. Use those results and your own sense of each domain to rate them below; the planner doesn't need exact scores. So the priorities in your plan come from your own answers, not from an official score.

The 5 official domains

Leave a domain blank if you’re not sure. Blank ones keep their official share with a little extra time; the planner never guesses.

Information System Auditing Process18% of the exam
Governance and Management of IT18% of the exam
Information Systems Acquisition, Development, and Implementation12% of the exam
Information Systems Operations and Business Resilience26% of the exam
Protection of Information Assets26% of the exam

Add your dates and the time you have

Used only to check the earliest retake date against the official waiting rule.

Up to four attempts within 12 months of your first attempt. Wait 30 days after the first attempt, 90 days after the second, and 90 days after the third. You pay the full registration fee for each attempt. ISACA Certification Exam Candidate Guide, Version 1.26, section 4.2 'Retake Policy'

Your answers stay in this browser tab. Passy records only that a plan was built, never your ratings or dates.

How the plan sets your priorities

ISACA's score report includes domain-level results for information only, and the candidate guide does not name rating levels. Use those results and your own sense of each domain to rate them below; the planner doesn't need exact scores. So the planner asks you instead: the domains you mark as hard start your plan, mixed ones are strengthened, and confident ones get lighter review. Your answers are a self-assessment, not an official result.

Each domain starts from its share of the exam in the official outline, multiplied by its priority: 3× to start, 2× to strengthen, 1.5× if you leave it blank, and 1× to maintain. A quarter of your time is mixed practice across all domains. This is Passy’s planning method; it doesn’t estimate a score or a chance of passing.
