Other CISA Exam Changes

The number of exam questions is reduced from 200 to 150. The duration remains to be 4 hours.

This means that candidates can now spend, on average, 1.6 minutes on each question instead of 1.2 minutes previously. I wonder if this implies the exam questions are becoming more complex…
