Audit Plan Steps

[Helvetia]

The latest CCSP study guide suggests that the "lessons learned" step should take place before the audit itself.

I don't understand how you can reflect on past experience and learn anything until after you complete the task. What am I missing please? Does anyone know?

I've tried researching this question online, and every source I have found seems to think that lessons are learned at the end (which matches my intuition).

The practices questions also reaffirm the belief the the "lessons learned" step comes after defining the scope (third step).

What should I do for the exam? Provide the answer I believe to be true? Or deliberately provide what I consider to be a wrong answer in order to pass the exam?

Any advice would be much appreciated.

I have always understood "lessons learned" to be last,

I might suggest that you submit an Errata to (ISC)2.  By submitting the errata, you would be asking them to review the materials and hopefully they come back with an answer on their logic.

@CBMExamTeam I know that your team does not develop the training material but am not sure who else to tag on this one.

The exam is not intended to trick people, so I would answer the question with what I believed to be the correct answer.

The obvious question is which answer ISC2 has decided to use for the exam.

Since we all invest very significant time, effort and money in these exams, I think they owe it to us to make sure we have a clear means of communicating any concerns. Especially, as we will never be told which questions we answered right or wrong. So, it's not completely inconceivable that someone might fail the exam based on erroneous information, unless issues were addressed in a timely manner.

Again, I suggest you submit an errata to them.  There is little to nothing that we on the Community can do, except to agree with you that the trainings should reflect reality.
