I couldn’t make use of the entire time the past two months because of extreme work stress and pressure. I have a little over a month and going at full swing at it now.

I really regret not being able to focus on this since day 1. I think SANS has amazing material especially with the labs. I love the labs and kinda recently started exploring it. Hopefully, I am able to get through all of this in the remaining time I have.

Question on labs:
I started indexing the commands and it’s such a long list. I am not sure if I am indexing the right way. For example, I have 50+ entries only for Labs 1.1 Live Investigation. Am I doing the right way?

I am worried I am over indexing. Are the actual lab exams similar to what’s provided in the SANS training?

I find the materials wide & deep. Thank God it’s open book exam! Not sure if I am trying to learn every single word & concept.

Who gets invited? Does one need to get a perfect score in the exam or 90% and above is enough?

I heard the use of Internet is not allowed for the exam. What’s the purpose of AI Spotlight sections then? Are we allowed to use GenAI in the exam? How important are these spotlight sections?

Thanks!

I have enrolled in the Grad Certificate program from SANS for which I need to complete 4 GIAC exams. The question I have is, do I have to pay to renew all those in 4 years? I have just done one single renewal so far and it came around $500 plus required CPEs.

I am hardly having time to watch the videos with a full time job and RTO. Can someone score above 90% without watching the videos but having a good index?

Will I get extra terminologies or tools or concepts for the index from the videos?

Please help.
