Passed GCIH

Took 504 in May with Bryce Galbraith. Very good instructor btw. Scheduled my exam for August 1st. I spent 1 week per book, carefully reading through and indexing. Ended up with about 500 entries in my index. I took the first practice and scored a 80%. On the second practice, I scored a 78%, which was discouraging.

On test day I went in with my my index and books, and really took my time. Maybe took my time a little too much, since I finished the exam with only about 5 minutes left. I ended up scoring a 91%, which I feel really good about. I would say both practice and real exam are at the same difficulty level. Let me know if you have any questions.

    Sorry cant do that. Making the index is really the best way to study imo.
