Passed GSEC today !

in GIAC
I just got out of the testing centre. I finally wrote my GSEC after purchasing an extension due to pressure at work.

I passed. Not a great percentage. I should have prepared better. My index left me wanting.

My advice make an index so that you dont miss a thing. You really want to make sure you are able to answer almost all the questions.

I did the in person class in Mumbai last July. I listened to the MP3's up and down from work.

My next target is the GCFE. Booked it for the 14th of February. I have a few redhat papers to complete before I move to New Zealand.

Also applied for a work study for the 575 class next month. Hope that comes through.

Cheers

P.S Two GSEC practice tests up for grabs. Kindly PM with your email address that is associated with your SANS profile.

    Interesting - they usually show up right after the exam has concluded (and assuming you passed). Perhaps the list is only updated during weekdays. I had thought it would've been automatic, but maybe there's human intervention and verification involved in the process, which is reassuring.

    It took two days after my GCIH as well. I guess they verify and then upload. But the interesting part is. It is not showing anything against my name now. Says no certified professionals by that name. But if you look in the GCIH list it displays my name. Click on my name and it says Technical error. So I am assuming part automatic. Part manual. Maybe someone gets a button asking for approval for the engine to post onlin

    I'd contact GIAC about the discrepancy. I've had good experiences with their support staff and they tend to be very timely.

    I assume this was meant for me?

    Yes I write all the content...have a backlog of topics I'm working to put up. I will tell you it certainly isn't easy working a full time job and then trying to run a business on top of it icon_wink.gif

    Helping others learn though totally makes it worth it!

    Congratulations on the pass!

    I'm sure you also learned the contents of the books and where things were located for quick reference as you put together your index.

    Yes I did learn. But I could have done better. Thank you BillHoo.
