2026 AAIA QAE Item Writers

AAIA Official Questions, Answers, Explanations (QAE) Database item writers will develop practice questions for possible inclusion in the AAIA QAE database. Submit as many items as your schedule permits. Practice questions should follow ISACA Item Writing Guidelines. It is recommended that item writers review ISACA’s Item Writing Resources. The Staff Facilitator will reach out to eligible item writers closer to the item writing campaign start date with additional details. Item writers will be compensated for accepted items (see Volunteer Benefits for more information).
