Your EC-COUNCIL EC-Council Information Security Manager (E|ISM) Questions, Answered Honestly
The 512-50 exam presents 150 questions inside a 120 minutes window. That combination makes time a resource you manage, not a backdrop: candidates who never practice against a clock often leave easy questions unanswered at the end. Use the Prep4away mock exam system — its timing function recreates the real pressure, so you can spot pacing gaps during preparation instead of during the exam.

The candidate name must match the payer name; the policy does not cover exams taken within 3 days of purchase, purchases never used in an actual exam attempt, free materials, or expired orders. If you would rather continue learning than refund, you can exchange the product for two free exam packages of equal value and keep the update service on your original purchase.
Candidates must attend official EC-Council training before sitting for this exam (no formal experience requirement for EISM, but EISM is oriented toward those without qualifying CCISO experience).
Vendor rules change periodically, so before scheduling, confirm the latest requirements on the official EC-COUNCIL exam page.
The 512-50 exam — officially the EC-Council Information Security Manager (E|ISM) — is EC-COUNCIL's certification test for professionals working with its technologies, and passing it awards the EISM certification at the Associate (Management Pathway / Executive Track) level. Whether you are a student, an office worker, or a veteran of the field, a vendor-issued credential is one of the few qualifications every employer reads the same way. It also leads naturally toward Certified Chief Information Security Officer (CCISO).
Passing requires 70%, and official registration costs USD $450 (approx.). Budget-wise, remember the fee covers one attempt only — a retake is charged in full again. The prudent sequence is to self-assess first: run timed mocks with 402 practice questions at Prep4away until your scores clear the passing mark with margin, and only then spend on the seat.
