Passed GCFE yesturday

My first GIAC cert and I feel physically and mentally tired. 3 hour test, 115 questions and one 15 minute break. I hear that the the GCFA exam is easier. I should have went that route, but everyone says that SANS classes are like drinking water from a fire hose.

Congrats on the pass.

Thanks!

I took the class portion in 2012 in Orlando. I feel like it was the "Challenge" route because I don't recall what went on in the class. Dont get me wrong, the classes are very informative, but I feel that I could have skipped the class portion. It's the books that are important. Thinking about getting a co workers GISF books and challange that one.

i took the 408 class last month.
I am taking the gcfe exam this friday.

There is a lot of material. I have index the info. I will give it my best.
I was hoping it was like the practice exam they provided.
Is there any other study materials out there?
