Let you start with SDLC though complicated but Important. 

you can start from 1.control objectives 2.testing 3.business continuity planning 4.erp 5.information system

Prepare with basic concepts... i.e., do 1st chapter first and then do SDLC(to know about systems development), then ERP.

Then prepare for other chapters in the following order: CONTROL, RISK ASSESSMENT, BCP, TESTING, IS AUDITING STANDARDS, IS SECURITY POLICIES AND IT ACT.

Study in the Order given by ICAI. There is a purpose in the arrangement of Chapters. You'll find a link between the Initial chapters and the later chapters that you'll come to know only when you start.

Ofcourse, you can study it the way you like but in that case may not be able to identify the links.

Ofcourse, you can study it the way you like but in that case may not be able to identify the links. It also depends on the coverage of the syllabus. If you are confident to complete the syllabus then the above manner may help. Otherwise you may have to see the pattern of previous examinations and come up with a list of chapters where more marks are covered and Prioritize accordingly.

Thanks a lot ... also tell me weather devang dalal sir s book is good or not ?

I'm not aware of the reference books. As far as I'm concerned Study Material is the best because the Model answers given to the evaluators are the same that has been given in the Study Material. Institute expects you to understand the concepts in Study Material and they exactly ask questions related to Study Material only, not from REFERENCE MATERIAL

build your foundation first in the following order:

Ch 5 - Risk Assessment

Ch - 6 BCP

Ch - 7 ERP

Ch - 8 Standards

Ch - 9 Policy

Ch - 2 SDLC

Ch 1 and Ch 10 can be attempted randomly in any order as they do not specifically refer to other chapters.

Attempt Chapter 3 and 4 towards end as it refers to the topics mentioned above and you will be able to understand and appreciate content of these chapters only if you know the basics. It is very obvious, if you don't know ERP system or what is a BCP plan, how can you understand controls and how can you test them? In my opinion, follow 5,6,7,8,9,2,1,3,4,10.

Start from system development than control techniques and than remaining part

Study only study material...Make concise notes on each chapter....Chapters 5 to 10 is important...then 2,1,4 and 3 chapters.

the book is good....it should be better if u go serially...

go for dinesh madan best book. guarented 50 marks if study from it

start with light chapters which u can read easily and can complete with in time........

1st u read ERP its important and easy and after that start it act and than bcp and disaster recovery and tan do sdlc and 1st chapter........and important in iscas is remeber all the points if u wanna marks in exams u should remember all the points of a particular question i got 58 marks on the behalf of just and just cram the points ......all d best

best order according to me is 1 5 6 7 8 9 10 den 2 3 nd at d last 4.....
