GSEC in the Bag!!

It took me 3 hours & 51 minutes to get through the exam but I passed with a 93%!

As has been said many times before, I can't begin to tell you how important building an index is when preparing for this exam. Mine was over thirty pages!! For one, it forces you to review all of the material but it can also make the difference between a merely passing score and scoring high enough to be on the GIAC Advisory Board.

With as many possible topics as there can be on this exam I don't know how anyone can manage to pass it without taking the class, or having the course materials.

One observation...

I do think the questions on the actual exam are harder than the ones I encountered in the practice tests.

That's the same score I got when I took that exam. A focused four hours is pretty exhausting, so great job on the pass. There's certainly a ton of information to soak up and it does feel quite overwhelming.
