in Other Security Certifications
I recently passed the GSEC certification and would like to share my leftover practice exam from the GIAC Portal with anyone who has a current account there. GIAC encourages giving away unused practice exams and it's a great way to prep for the GSEC certification. I've been lurking on these forums for a while, gathering ideas about how to pursue a security career, so I just wanted to sign up and share the love. :)

    Do you still have any practice exams to give away? I will be taking the GSEC in the next couple of weeks.

    ...and dredging up a 15-month-old thread.

    When you pay for the GSEC exam you will get two practice exams. Do you really think you need a third?

    If you've already taken two practice exams and failed an actual GSEC exam, all you need do is make a study plan based on the summary report for your exam. Re-study all of your zero-to-two-star topics and you should be good to hit the minimum passing score of 74%. When you purchase your GSEC challenge exam you should be given two more GSEC practice exams. Contact GIAC for the official word on this.

    That's a very close score. It seems the 0-2 star-study-plan is the way to go for you, along with not waiting too long to take the exam again.

    Did you go through SANS training or was your first attempt a challenge too? It seems to me the GSEC is very difficult exam to pass for someone that hasn't used the official study materials. You really need to know SANS guidelines and best-practices to get a good (or just passing) score on the GSEC.

    You score was so close I think that you will make it the second time. And for what a GIAC challenge exam costs, it would best if you did!
