Passed CEH
Studied about 2 weeks for it, using only the sybex v9 book that I got in a humble bundle. Didn't study too seriously for it, but still skimmed the whole book and took all the practice quizzes in it. The exam took me around 50 minutes to complete
I'll say, for me, about 50% of the questions were dead giveaways, didn't even half to think about them, anyone working in security for more than a month should know those questions. About 30% took a little extra thinking but I was still very confident in my answers. About 10% I feel were sufficiently difficult questions that I probably should have studied more on (what tools do what). And another 10% I felt were very poorly worded questions without 1 definitive or even correct answer.
But anyway, got it out of the way (work wanted me to have it) and I'm back to prepping for the OSCP.

How much overlap did you see between GCIH and CEH? I took GCIH before CEH which made CEH just feel like a GCIH review with some major vulnerabilities plus a lot more nmap.Alphabet soup from (ISC)2, ISACA, GIAC, EC-Council, Microsoft, ITIL, Cisco, Scrum, CompTIA, AWS
