CREST Exams

Jonah, u took the crest exam already? Was it difficult?

No, I haven't taken the exam. I am planning to take it either in July or August. Based on my research, it is not a difficult exam. But the main challenge is time. The exam is only 2 hours but we have 120 questions to answer. => 1 question / min.

Also, CREST doesn't release an official study guide although there are recommended books. It makes me feel rather anxious...

I too guess it will be tough ?ÿunless very hands on experience. So, given the exam fee is not very high (around 450sgd ?), we can prepare for (worst case) ?ÿsecond attempt.

Having said that, we should be very confident on the exam topics ( mentioned on the syllabus) ?ÿ before ?ÿ first attempt. ?ÿIn the same, in which areas you are not strong also.

From internet, not many resource on this exam.. believe
<ol>
<li>Ethical hacking (CEH) materials Network Security Assessment : Know Your Netowork (3rd editon) by Chris McNab ?ÿ(It is available in NLB library)</li>
<li>Some kind of group study also helps. ?ÿ</li>
</ol>

Anyone here in this forum has taken before? Can share your experience?

How much is the course?

Hi Paul, It is 250 UK pounds... around 440 SGD. ?ÿWe can book directly through Pearson VUE.
