How a session goes

  1. Ask for a question, and name your exam.
  2. Hermes shows the scenario and its options. You choose one and say how sure you are: confident, unsure or guess.
  3. Hermes tells you whether you were right and explains each option. If you were confident in a wrong answer, it calls that out as a blind spot.
  4. After the 10 questions, or sooner if you want more, Hermes offers the link to CertArc's free assessment.

What it does

  • Practice: 10 free scenario questions for each certification. Hermes asks for your answer and how sure you are, then gives CertArc's explanation.
  • Exam outlines: domains and their weights for each exam.
  • Study guides: CertArc guides on a topic, with links.
  • Next step: when you finish a set, or want to keep going, Hermes can give you a link to CertArc's free assessment. You open it and sign in yourself, with Google or a one-time email code. Hermes never signs in or creates an account for you.

The free practice sets are also on the web: CISM, CISSP, CISA, AAISM and AAIA.

Limits

  • Reading your own CertArc study from Hermes isn't available yet. This plugin uses CertArc's free endpoint, which offers only the four tools that need no account.
  • The questions are CertArc's own scenarios. They are not official ISACA or ISC2 questions, or recalled exam content. CertArc is not affiliated with ISACA or ISC2, and does not promise any exam outcome.

Data handling

This plugin is configuration only: a server address and a skill. It runs no local code, reads no local files, stores no credentials and has no telemetry.

  • Every tool call goes to certarc.com. All four tools are marked read-only.
  • CertArc doesn't receive your name or email for practice without an account, and practice answers aren't recorded. Standard web server logs apply, as described in the privacy policy.
  • Your questions and answers also go to whichever model provider you use with Hermes, under that provider's terms.
  • The assessment links carry a tag showing they came from this plugin, so CertArc can count sign-ups from it.
  • The tool list comes from the hosted server at runtime, so it isn't covered by the pinned commit.
