Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) is the programmer-visible specification of a computer: it defines the machine instructions, registers, data types, addressing methods, and the rules for how software communicates with hardware. For exams, you must master what ISA includes, how it differs from implementation details, and how instruction formats and addressing modes affect program execution and efficiency.
