    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

(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!
