⚠️ Why people don’t share SEC511 / GMON practice exams

• Practice tests for SANS Institute / GIAC certifications are:
  • Licensed per user
  • Non-transferable
• Sharing them usually violates terms of use and can risk:
  • Certification being revoked
  • Account penalties

Even course materials are explicitly licensed for personal use only .

💬 What the community actually says

Here’s the reality from people in the same situation:

“You are unlikely to find anyone able to provide an extra practice test.”

“After two practice tests… there is no point in doing more.”

Also, posts like the one you referenced on TechExams Community often get no replies offering exams—because most people won’t (or can’t) share them .

🧠 What you should do instead (this is what actually works)

For SEC511 / GMON, the highest ROI prep is:

• Do BOTH official practice tests properly
  • Treat them like real exams
  • Analyze weak areas (star report)
• Build a solid index
  • This is critical for GIAC exams
  • Many pass mainly because of a good index
• Repeat labs 2–3 times
  • Zeek, Wireshark, PowerShell, etc.
  • Real exam heavily tests applied understanding
• Focus on weak domains
  • Don’t just retake questions—fix gaps

💡 If you really need more practice

Legit options:

• Buy additional prep courses (like Udemy-style practice sets)
• Re-do labs + scenarios (this is closer to real exam anyway)

🧾 Bottom line

• Asking for donated practice exams = common but rarely successful
• Sharing them = usually against rules
• Better strategy = master labs + index + analyze your two tests
