Highest Score Yet!!
Just got my best score yet on my 8th GIAC certification exam.
This class was definitely less technical than some others I’ve taken, like GCIH and GCSA, which helped. But I also had the best index and course table of contents I’ve ever built.
This was the first course where I used my index helper app for the entire class while watching the on-demand videos. The biggest benefit was that indexing felt more intuitive. I was able to organize topics and build the index as I moved through the course instead of constantly jumping between documents and spreadsheets or trying to clean everything up later.
DISCLAIMER: It still requires actually learning the material and putting effort into the index! It is by no means a magic solution but it made the process much smoother for me. By the time I was reviewing, I had a cleaner index, better topic organization, and a much easier time finding things.
The app is available for download if anyone studying for a GIAC exam wants to try it out. I’m trying to get more people using the beta version so I can gather more feedback and continue improving it.
Ive been responding to feedback and posting updates regularly. The app is currently available for Windows environments and free to download and use.
