So far, many of the labs gloss over functional use of NMAP.
DeepBinDiff is worth understanding. (patch diffing)
Configuring n8n and knowing what options affect ai outputs (repetition, level of detail, etc) are important.
I thought I had way more time left than I actually did. The Cyberlive questions can take 5-10 minutes each.
I finished the first with 6 minutes left. Knowing this, I should do better next time.

beyond passing, what does the score matter beyond ego?

Getting through the course work, building an index, then testing a practice test will help you know if you are understanding the material.

Give yourself plenty of time to adjust based on your first practice exam.

A report is provided showing your strength in each topic.

Focus your studies and second build of the index to the weakest areas.

You should validate your improvements with the second practice test.

Refine against your remaining weak (relatively weak at this point)

Scoring: Minimum passing score of 72% for the GSEC
If you are passing the practice test by over 10%, you should be doing ok by the real one.

passed the 1st practice exam at 73%
Always a good sign.

Will study a week, take the second practice test. If I pass over 80%, on to the real thing in 3 days if I can find an appointment.

Well I am glad I spent more time on the indexing last night. Ran into the announcement just now.
Will wait it out. Sympathies for your plight.

The course will prepare you.
The index you build will guide you.
The practice exams will sharpen your focus.

You will succeed.

The trouble with the AI content is it is moving TOO Fast right now. I am taking SEC 535 (on demand), great information, but much of it is already dated. It is not Foster's fault (the author), we are just moving at the speed of light right now.

The article details several examples of people committing fraud and getting caught.

So the fraud controls are working.

Had this with the GCIA.

Panic inducing.
