Can You Email Me These Copies?

I used to forward copies of GTAG to readers, but I now realize that the access is part of the privilege for IIA members and therefore, please understand that I can no longer do that.

For IIA members, these guides can be easily downloaded here. They are available in English, French for all parts, and occasionally also in other languages (e.g. Turkish, Polish) for some parts.

For non-members, they are available for purchase separately. Each guide is around US$25.

Do You Need Further Help in Part 3?

We have loads of guidance on how to tackle this most difficult part of the CIA exam, as well as many sound advice from readers. Many of them are recent takers who passed. If you have specific questions, that page is also the best place to get help. Good luck!
