RE: RE: GSEC Study Materials

I feel you will only pass the test if you have the official 
course ware. I took one self-study and two in person. I would 
recommend either option.

I think that to some extent this applies to all certs, not that I've ever
done a GSEC. The grading will reflect the course materials content, even if
the exam compilers -try- to test all-round knowledge of the field, rather
than just knowledge of course materials. In some cases (and I'm -not- saying
this is true of GSEC: I wouldn't know either way) the test will be just
that, a test of understanding of the course materials. If it's a good
course, this may not matter, but it does mean that if you rely on your
practical and conceptual knowledge of the field under test, you may trip
over differences in expression and terminology, for instance.
