Expect 115 (approximate) questions with a time limit of 180 minutes. The smart move is to treat time as a resource: allocate a rough budget per question, mark the stubborn ones and move on, then return with fresh eyes. Two or three full timed runs in the PrepAwayTest desktop engine — which recreates the real exam environment — will calibrate your pace far better than untimed reading ever could.

No formal prerequisites required, but recommended experience in IT security or industrial control systems is strongly advised. Keep in mind that vendors adjust their requirements over time, so verify the current rules on the official exam page (GICSP official exam details) before you schedule anything.

The vendor recommends these official training options:

• SANS ICS410: ICS/SCADA Security Essentials
• SANS ICS515: ICS Active Defense and Incident Response

Training covers the theory well, but self-assessment is what catches weak spots. Once the coursework is done, run the GICSP practice questions from PrepAwayTest and let your scores reveal what still needs work.

The official fee for the GICSP exam is USD 999 (attempt fee, subject to change), and passing requires Approximately 71% (scaled passing score, GIAC standard). Remember that the fee buys exactly one attempt — a retake costs the same amount again. That is a good reason to rehearse with the 100 practice questions from PrepAwayTest until you're consistently scoring past the threshold before paying for the real thing.
