Why this works

Three reasons learners actually pass.

The platform is built around retrieval practice: what the published research finds works, and what works in front of the examiner.

01 / 03

All Three CIA Parts Covered

MCQ practice for every domain across CIA Parts 1, 2, and 3. Questions are organised by part and domain so you can drill exactly where you need to, from Foundations of Internal Auditing through to Business Knowledge.

02 / 03

Track Domain Mastery

Your progress dashboard shows mastery across every domain and topic. See exactly where you stand before exam day and focus your study time on the areas that need the most work.

03 / 03

Learn From Every Question

Every MCQ comes with a detailed explanation covering the correct answer and the underlying concept it tests. Understanding the why is how you pass the CIA.

The evidence

Active recall is the literature.

Decades of cognitive-science research find that retrieval practice (answering questions you might get wrong) produces more durable learning than re-reading or highlighting. We built a question bank disciplined enough to use it.

FAQ

The questions serious applicants actually ask.

What CIA exam parts does CIA Practice cover?
CIA Practice provides MCQ practice for all three CIA parts: Part 1 (Essentials of Internal Auditing), Part 2 (Practice of Internal Auditing), and Part 3 (Business Knowledge for Internal Auditing). Each part is organised by domain, matching the IIA exam blueprint exactly.
How many questions are in the CIA exam?
Each CIA part contains 100 multiple-choice questions, giving 300 questions in total across the three-part exam. Part 1 covers 7 domains, Part 2 covers 5 domains, and Part 3 covers 3 domains. There is no negative marking. Questions are delivered by computer at Prometric centres globally.
What is the pass mark for the CIA exam?
The CIA exam is scored on a scale of 250 to 750. The passing score is 600 for each part. Candidates must pass all three parts independently, and a pass in one part does not carry over if you sit the parts in separate sittings.
Can I sit CIA parts in any order?
Yes. The IIA allows candidates to sit CIA parts in any order, though many candidates begin with Part 1 as it covers the foundational principles of internal auditing. Once you pass a part, the result is valid for four years while you complete the remaining parts.
Is CIA Practice free to use?
Yes. Part 1 Domain I (Foundations of Internal Auditing) is fully free with no credit card required. A subscription unlocks all remaining domains across Parts 1, 2, and 3, giving access to the complete CIA question bank.
What is the CIA exam pass rate?
The global CIA exam pass rate is approximately 40–45% per part. The exam is rigorous, and most successful candidates study 150–200 hours per part. Regular MCQ practice across all domains is one of the most effective ways to build the applied understanding the exam demands.
What topics are covered in CIA Part 1?
CIA Part 1 (Essentials of Internal Auditing) covers seven domains: Foundations of Internal Auditing, Independence and Objectivity, Proficiency and Due Professional Care, Governance, Risk Management, and Control, Information Security, Information Technology and Business Resilience, and Financial Management.
What topics are covered in CIA Part 2?
CIA Part 2 (Practice of Internal Auditing) covers five domains: Managing the Internal Audit Activity, Planning the Engagement, Performing the Engagement, Communicating Results, and Monitoring Progress. It tests the practical application of audit techniques and standards.
What topics are covered in CIA Part 3?
CIA Part 3 (Business Knowledge for Internal Auditing) covers three domains: Business Acumen, Information Security, and Information Technology. It tests the broader business and technology knowledge required to perform effective internal audits in complex organisations.
