GCIH exam date

Hello all.

I'm taking GCIH Ondemand course and its expiration date is on 16th jun.
I wonder when I have to select exam date?

after expiration date or before it?

Did you already purchase your exam voucher? Vouchers have a shelf-life of 4 months so the purchase date of the voucher is what determines when you need to take it by.

To add to what cyberguypr said, if you bought the exam voucher at the same time (bundled with) your OnDemand course, the exam expires the same date your course expires.

It is strange

I received email titled: "GIAC Certification Program"
and email says:
"Your attempt will expire on Thursday, June 16, 2016 11:59 PM UTC"

In my sans account dashboard:
"Expires: June 15, 2016 (8 pm US EDT / Midnight UTC)"

They expire almost the same time although I paid for the GCIH certification exam 1 week ago

Is this normal?

p.s I took ondemand course at the end of February without exam

Weird. It sounds like they are taking the February date as the starting point. I would shoot an email and have them clarify.

You don't have to pick an exam date right away, but just remember to give yourself enough time to schedule the exam with a testing center, you might have to wait a couple weeks for an appointment to take the exam. I wouldn't risk scheduling it any less than three weeks before it expires.

I sent an email to sans and they replied that this is normal.

Thanks all for your reply

Wait, so they're saying if you buy OnDemand in February, but pay for the exam attempt in April, that you only get 4 months from the February date? What price did you pay for the exam? I guess if you paid the cheaper $650 price for it instead of the usual $1200 challenge rate that is why they are saying that, but still doesn't seem that fair.

Yeap.
I paid cheaper $650 instead of usual $1200

But it is ok, I think it is enough time to fully prepare for exam.

The GCIH Exam may be scheduled anytime within a 120 day window once a candidate has paid for the examination attempt

Although if you received the training discount on your GIAC voucher then your likely start date is right after the conference.
