The SANS tests are not that bad. But yes, you will need some experience
and carefully read the material they give you in order to pass them.
You can take the training without any experiences, but you might not
pass the test. As all of the questions are not directly from the books.
Before I take the one of their tests, I reread all the booklets and
listen to all the audio files. and still I get few wrong.
