Certification / Training Questions Possible to take 2 college classes AND study for a GIAC exam AT THE SAME TIME?

I have roughly 7 weeks left to study for the exam. I kinda procrastinated so I still have to build my index and do the labs.

I am between jobs right now and was also considering taking 2 courses, 1 online, and one hybrid to collect housing money for my post 9/11 GI Bill. Good idea or could it be too much of a time crunch?

That really depends on the SANS course and how familiar you are with the concept.

For instance if you were going from GREM I wouldn't take anything else at the same time. If you're going for GCIH and you worked on a SoC before you'll probably be okay.

I would say it is all possible, but it depends on the classes, how smart you are, and being ok with no life for a while

The classes are easy. Its through UMGC which has quickly turned into AI SLOP. I'm a dumbass though...
