I'm challenging the GSEC. I finally paid up and now waiting for approval. I'm building an index off a CISSP study guide, a couple condensed guidebooks, and handwritten notes. I seriously hope I'm not burning 2k on a failing grade.
Great points. I have 2 weeks to get an IT cert. I've chosen to take the GLSC as my job is dependent on this. I am trying to get all of the books and studying materials without paying the $6800, is that the only option that I have to get the materials? Thanks.
4 days is more than enough if you already know - or at least understand - everything, but if this is the case why do you bother preparing. So basically the advise: know magically everything so you won't need time for preparing, good luck.
Thanks for valuable information, I have completed CTI sans course and I plan to have the certificate but actually I dont have the skills of indexing, So please if you can to share the names of columns of your index so that will help me to start my index . best regards.
@@Timanator Thanks so much. I'm thinking of just using a 401K loan. Question: I make nearly 100k at my current job. How realistic is it to think I can make close to that starting out in INFOSEC? (With the right certifications of of course.) Right now I'm on a 5 year plan to get out of security contractor work, and looking for something a little less physically demanding. One other option I'm considering is creating an independent business and doing IT work part-time, on the side until I get established in the industry. Your thoughts? Thanks again!
It's better to create your own. The focus on making your index is that you can design it however it better helps you navigate. I made mine like: |Title of slide - Page | Info out of section| Bullet points with more info if need be. I passed my GCIH early this year and taking GPEN next month, I'm working on my index right now.
Thanks for the tips and for sharing your process with us. I have my Network+ and Security+ and now I'm looking to earn another cert. I was thinking of CySA+, but I'm really interested in GSEC. Since I have very little experience, could either of those certs help me earn an entry-level position?
I'm probably too late here, but do the cysa+ so that you can take advantage of comptia hierarchical certification renewals. Save your sans money on more marketable giac certs like gcih, gcia, gcfa, etc
@@576pcworld yes, you are allowed to bring any printed materials with you.,I would also print off the GIAC page that shows that exams are open book, as there have been reports of testing centres not believing students that they are open book
Hey Dude, seeing this vid in 2020, where I can find a copy of your index masterpiece, it is brilliant idea and copy of your book at least pictures of front page of each of them. Thanks.
Timanator I will not unfortunately. Not only is it against GIAC policy (thus putting me at risk of losing my cert) but the books change regularly. I will gladly share materials pertinent to what the exams cover (such as tools and techniques)
@@0x4rk0 I just finished 401 class an hour ago. :) Just looking for an index to modify rather than start all new. The material is very much similar to CISSP which I passed last year. Thanks.

How do I get those books? Is it the official site?
I hope you can give me the link

Thank you for the info! Taking a GIAC exam this month!
how did you do?
Nice video bro. This was really helpful.

I’m about taking my GFACT AND GSEC SOON..can you help out a bit once more about the indexing?
I am sorry, This is my first time I am planning to sit for SANS certs....Could you please give an advice on the Labs practices of that course ?
Thanks for valuable information,

How did your CTI exam go? I am taking mine next month.
So, here's the question: How do pay for the cert?
💲💲💲💲💲💲💲
† Ranger for Jesus † when you pay for SANS, you can purchase to take the cert
Sell yourself on corners or Download the letter on the GIAC website for your manager, so that your job will invest in you.
@@FaRRWestGee As appealing as life on the street sounds, I don't think my company will pay for it. I'll likely have to take out a 401K loan. ☹️
@@Jacen777 The price of the test is half off if you take the class.

Your thoughts? Thanks again!
Thank you for the good video.
Did you qualify for the Cyber Academy?
Do you have LinkedIn?
Does GIAC allows to refer to notes during exam? I was thinking we can't refer to any material during test!
You’re allowed to bring the SANS books and any material provided in the class.
Thanks for the info . How good is the index in the ctf book ? Is better to prepare another one ?

Have you taken GCIA? Do you think that is the best GIAC cert for defensive security?
I have not
Digital Forensics & Incident Response anyone GCFE or GCFA?
Doing the GCFA in a month
@@dailydashcamdiaries that's a big cost to swallow $$$
Hello 0x4rkØ how can I get the books that you are referring to so I can make my index?
You have to attend the SANS class
May be this silly question..are we allowed carry our study material and refer during exam
I am taking gcfa exam soon
@@576pcworld yes, you are allowed to bring any printed materials with you.,I would also print off the GIAC page that shows that exams are open book, as there have been reports of testing centres not believing students that they are open book
GCIH Monday! First GIAC exam.
Freedom Gear Reviews good luck!
I'm looking to take the GCFA. What's the process after paying? Do they have a specific time period you have to take the exam in?
Paul Simons 90 days after the course
Once you pay you get a standard 4months to complete most if not all the GIAC exams, hope that helps!
Hey Dude, seeing this vid in 2020, where I can find a copy of your index masterpiece, it is brilliant idea and copy of your book at least pictures of front page of each of them.
Thanks.
I don't believe SANS/GIAC allow sharing of any material
Hey whats up, how did you get the materials to study for the GSEC?
Marvin I attended SEC401 by SANS. All of the materials in the test is covered in the class, however you do not need to attend SANS to table GIAC certs
@@0x4rk0 Its a shame they're like $6000 courses. Wish theyd just publish some books we can study on our own.
Hey Cody, thanks for the video, can you share your index for the GSE. I can share my CISSP study materials.
Thanks.
Timanator I will not unfortunately. Not only is it against GIAC policy (thus putting me at risk of losing my cert) but the books change regularly.

HI 0x4rkØ, can you help me with the copy of Index for GPEN, I have to appear in 2 weeks and does not have much time left to prepare myself.
Pradeep Mishra no can do. You and I will lose our GIAC certifications. I made my index in 4 days.
Can you upload your index sheet please its very useful for me and others who are planning to write the exam.
Ranjith Doosa I can upload the template, but not my final index.
I want it ,Can you upload the template?
CAN YOU SHARE WITH ME UR GCIH INDEX PART
