Passed GCIH - Ugly Pass

in GIAC
I wrote GCIH today, passed with a 76%, was hovering around 85% for a while but then I started to blow out on some topics . I was rather surprised at the level of difficulty this exam and also that some of the questions seemed to go beyond the scope of the course ware. I studied for about 3 weeks and took piles of notes. I had an index from a friend who wrote it last month. That came in handy.

    The minimum passing score for the GCIH exam is 72%, so you were possibly one or two questions away from failing. Be sure to review your weak areas as indicated by the final score tally that you received after your exam completed.

    I am taking the sans course in March that prepares a person for this exam. i'm attempting to prepare myself for that 6 day class for the GCIH. Does anyone here who has passed the exam have any suggestions for passing this exam. anything that i can do in the mean team to help me get ready for the class so i can absorb the material better in March? please any suggestions? is there anyplace that i can get some practice exams at? when a person takes the actual course....do they give the student a hardcopy book that can be used when taking the exam since it is an open book exam?
