Passed the GMON!

A little late posting this but, I pass the GIAC GMON exam on 10/18/17. Spent a few weeks going through the books and creating a good index that worked. Took two practice exams to help build the index, 1st score was 69% and 2nd score was 76%. Took the exam and ended up getting a 88%.

Congratulations. I took Continuous Monitoring at BlackHat last year, but there is no cert for it.

Do the practice exams still give you a updated score every 15 questions? I know the exam no longer does, but I been wondering if the practice tests still do.

Congrats! Those are huge jumps in the scores.. are the practice exams that different from the real one?

Get your index set up correctly, since you only have 1.5 minutes to answer each question. I used the "Better GIAC Testing with Pancakes" method with some small changes. Once you have your index, together, do one of the practice exams to test it. This should give you a real good idea on what you'll need to add or fix. The second exam should be more focused and is a good meter of where you "should" be at. In my experience above, I ended up making additional changes to the index which landed me a way better score on the actual exam.
