The GIAC GIME exam, officially titled GIAC iOS and macOS Examiner, is the required test for earning the GIAC iOS and macOS Examiner certification, a credential at the Practitioner level.

The GIME exam includes 75 questions, and you have 120 minutes to complete it. Before exam day, divide the available time by the question count so you know the pace you need to hold, and practice flagging time-consuming items for review instead of stalling on a single question.
