I’m considering purchasing the GIAC Security Operations Manager (GSOM) exam voucher and would really appreciate advice from anyone who has taken the exam.
How long did you study/prep for the exam?
How many times did you review the material before taking it?
If you prepared without attending the official SANS training, what study materials did you use?
Any recommended books, practice tests, notes, or other resources?
How close were your practice-test results to your actual exam experience?
I have a strong background in cybersecurity/SOC operations, but I’d like to understand the realistic preparation effort before purchasing the voucher.
Thanks in advance for sharing your experience!
