Passed CIA Part 2. Officially a CIA

I used Hock and went through entire textbook and question bank. Did not watch a single video. I found all of Hock questions far too easy. Sometimes I found the answer options ridiculous ie fear of robot uprising. The Hock mock questions were harder but still would be considered easy. I was scoring an average of 95%. But Hock helped me with the concept.

I bought the IIA mock, and I believe this is what helped me pass the paper. There were so many terms in the IIA Mock that was not in the Hock bank or textbook. I scored 75% and 69%. I noted everything I got wrong and the terms I wasnt familiar with, and used chatgpt to explain it to me in table form (ie cold site vs warm site vs hot site).

My actual exam had a lot of ratio questions. Between 5-10 for sure. I found it harder than the IIA Mock. There was also a lot of cybersecurity questions. I flagged almost 30 questions at the end of my exam and thought the ratio questions were going to make me fail. Tbh I think if I didnt buy the IIA Mock, I would have failed. I walked out of my exam thinking I was gonna fail too because I did not focus much on financial concept questions.

ETA: I have 5 years working experience in IA

Protein Intake on PCOS

Recently diagnosed with PCOS. One of my treatment plan is to eat enough protein. Roughly about 75g for me. Unfortunately I only eat chicken as a source of protein. And eat a lot of tofu. My doctor suggested I try to take protein powders to help but to make sure it doesn’t have sugar in it. Is there any that anyone recommends that does taste awful?
