GWAPT practice exams
No complete practice exam yet. A form is 82 questions apportioned to the official weightings, and a partial one would report a score that means nothing, so none is assembled until the questions are there.

What the exam tests
Exam domains
GIAC publishes the GWAPT objectives as an unweighted list covering the web application overview, reconnaissance and mapping, authentication attacks, session management, SQL injection, cross-site scripting, cross-site request forgery and client injection, configuration testing, and testing tools. It attaches no percentages. The six groupings above and their percentages are ours, a study aid rather than an official GIAC weighting, and GIAC does not endorse them.
The percentage is the exam weighting; the bar is how many verified questions we hold there, so a short bar is where our bank is thin.
- Web Application Overview and Reconnaissance16%0 verified
- Authentication and Session Management Attacks18%0 verified
- SQL Injection16%0 verified
- XSS, CSRF, and Client Injection18%0 verified
- Configuration Testing14%0 verified
- Web Application Testing Tools18%0 verified

Every question here is checked against the official page it cites before it serves, which is why the count grows slowly.
Where to focus: GWAPT is a web pen-test exam, so its CyberLive items expect you to find and exploit a flaw, not name it. Work through a deliberately vulnerable app with Burp or ZAP in front of you: knowing where SQL injection and stored XSS actually surface in a request is what the clock rewards.
What the exam actually asks you to do
A CyberLive exam. Some of the questions put you into a live machine with the real tools and score what you do there. GIAC does not publish how many of the 82 are hands-on, so neither do we.
