What the exam tests

Opens next. The first practice exam opens at 125 verified questions, spread across all 7 domains.
Every question here is checked against the official page it cites before it serves, which is why the count grows slowly.
Where to focus: The seven weights sit between 10 and 17 percent, so no single domain decides the result and a weak area cannot be offset by depth elsewhere. ISC2 orders the outline around the authorization lifecycle (scope the system, select and tailor controls, implement, assess, decide, maintain), so learning which task belongs to which stage pays off more than memorizing control catalogs.
What the exam actually asks you to do
Multiple choice and ISC2's advanced item types. There is no lab and no simulation, so the practice that matters is reading a scenario and choosing well.

Frequently asked questions
Is CGRC the same certification that used to be called CAP?
Yes. ISC2 announced in February 2023 that the Certified Authorization Professional (CAP) certification would be renamed Certified in Governance, Risk and Compliance (CGRC), and stated the update only affects the name, not the exam or course content or the qualifications to pursue it. Existing holders had their digital certification and badge updated automatically.
How much does the CGRC exam cost?
ISC2 lists standard registration for the CGRC exam at U.S. $599 in the Americas, Asia Pacific, the Middle East and Africa, EUR 575.04 in EMEA, and GBP 485.19 in the United Kingdom. ISC2 notes that pricing and taxes are based on the location of exam administration.
What happens if I do not have the two years of experience yet?
ISC2 states that a candidate without the required experience may become an Associate of ISC2 by passing the CGRC exam, and then has three years to earn the two years of required, relevant experience.
What does it take to keep the CGRC active?
ISC2 members work on a three-year certification cycle. For CGRC the required three-year total is 60 CPE credits, of which 45 must be Group A, and ISC2 suggests 20 per year. Members holding CGRC also pay an annual maintenance fee of U.S. $135.
