Admission tickets for the exam will be released approximately 2-3 weeks prior to the exam date via email to the email address in the candidate profile. Once released, exam candidates can also download a copy of the admission ticket at the MyISACA page of the web site. Candidates must bring either a print out of the eTicket or download version on exam day for entry into the exam.
The ticket will indicate the date, registration time and location of the exam, as well as a schedule of events for that day and a list of materials that candidates must bring with them to take the exam. Candidates are not to write on the admission ticket.

Only candidates with an admission ticket and acceptable form of government issued ID will be admitted to take the exam and the name on your admission ticket must match the name on your government issued ID. Either the print out of the eTicket, or download version, is valid for admission into the exam.

4. Receiving Your Score Report
Please notify the certification department immediately if your registration contact information changes. Approximately five weeks for CISA and CISM and eight weeks for CGEIT and CRISC after the test date, the official exam results will be mailed to candidates. Additionally, with the candidate’s consent during the registration process, an e-mail message containing the candidate’s pass/fail status and score will be sent to the candidate. This e-mail notification will only be sent to the address listed in the candidate’s profile at the time of the initial release of the results. To ensure the confidentiality of scores, exam results will not be reported by telephone or fax. To prevent e-mail notification from being sent to spam folders, candidates should add exam@isaca.org to their address book, whitelist or safe-senders list.
5. Reporting of Your Test Results
Candidate scores are reported as a scaled scored. A scaled score is a conversion of a candidate’s raw score on an exam to a common scale. ISACA uses and reports scores on a common scale from 200 to 800. For example, the scaled score of 800 represents a perfect score with all questions answered correctly, a scaled score of 200 is the lowest score possible and signifies that only a small number of questions were answered correctly. A candidate must receive a score of 450 or higher to pass the exam. A score of 450 represents a minimum consistent standard of knowledge as established by the respective ISACA Certification Committee. A candidate receiving a passing score may then apply for certification if all other requirements are met.
The CISA exam contains some questions which are included for research and analysis purposes only. These questions are not separately identified and not used to calculate your final score.
Passing the exam does not grant the CISA designation. To become a CISA, you must earn the required job experience and submit a CISA application. The application is available at www.isaca.org/cisaapp. Until your application is received and approved, you are not CISA certified and cannot use the designation.
6. Retaking the Exam
A candidate receiving a score of less than 450 has not passed and can retake the exam by registering and paying the appropriate exam fee for any future exam administration. To assist with future study, the results letter each candidate receives will include a score analysis by content area. There are no limits to the number of times a candidate can take the exam.
