It is called a GIAC Challenge. Information is available at: http://www.giac.org/reginfo/challenge.php SANS exams are open book. The problem is that the the exam questions will be based on the material in the course. At the conferences, you can often purchase copies of any of the courses help at the conference. That would be helpful in passing the exam. Usually, I would recommend people make a good outline of the course material. That outline will helps a person find the material they do not remember from the course. There will likely be some specific questions on some of the more obscure material. Being in Russia, it is probably not easy getting to a SANS conference. I don't see any course being offered in Russia. The GIAC Challenge does include two practice exams. Those are very valuable. They will help you know the pace of the exam and point out areas where you may need to study further. You can purchase exams separately. Take a look at: http://www.giac.org/exams/practice.php Good luck, John Mic,
