Question: I just took the CIA Exam and did not pass. What do I do now?
Answer: Once you have put your reaction to the bad news behind you, begin implementing the study steps Gleim outlines for you in the System for Success booklet. Avoid thoughts like “I knew that” or “I don’t have to study that again.” What you knew and how you took the exam last time did not work. Take the time to develop new and improved perspectives. Keep in mind, it is unlikely you will see the same questions on your next attempt.
You can prevent a repeat of your previous CIA Exam-taking experiences by identifying, correcting, and understanding your mistakes as you practice answering multiple-choice questions during your study sessions. Use the Gleim CIA Review System as described in previous forum topics so you can learn the concepts and not just memorize the questions. Understand your mistakes while you study so you can avoid mistakes on the exam.
