GMON passed
Passed today with a 92. The GMON is my tenth GIAC cert. Took about 1.5 hours and sort of jetted through the questions in the name of getting through as quickly as I could. Likely could've scored higher but had to balance out the need to get back to work and get stuff done. The practice exam was very similar to the real…

Officially GIAC does not post the passing rate of there exams, but there currently only 14053 GCIH professional and current Analyst numbers are up to 28425.

How common are gold level GIAC certifications? I was poking around USAJobs and I came across a job that required Gold-Level GCWN, Gold-Level GCUX and/or a CISSP.
