GIAC Cert Attempt: need some confidence...

[dninja at gmail.com (Robin Wood)]

I found that the real tests have been harder than the practice ones
but not by too much so I'd say if you are feeling confident on the
practice ones you'd be ok on the real one.

I haven't found time to be an issue on either of the two tests I've
done, I've finished all of them in under half the time so just relax,
read things, check things and don't panic.
