GWAPT preparation should pair web security concepts with authorized hands-on testing workflows.
GIAC lists 1 proctored exam with 82 questions.
GIAC lists a 3-hour time limit and a 71% minimum passing score for candidates who receive the exam version released on or after May 16, 2016.

GIAC states candidates have 120 days from certification-attempt activation to complete the attempt.
GIAC's objectives focus on the technologies, workflows, and vulnerabilities that appear in modern web applications. Candidates should understand HTTP and HTTPS behavior, AJAX, authentication, authorization assumptions, session state, configuration weaknesses, and application logic.
The GWAPT objectives include web application testing tools such as proxies, fuzzing, scripting, and application-logic testing. Preparation should include hands-on use of authorized targets so candidates can interpret requests, responses, parameters, cookies, tokens, and error behavior.
GIAC's CyberLive format validates hands-on skill in realistic lab environments. GWAPT candidates should practice a repeatable method: map the app, identify controls, test inputs, validate findings, and document evidence without crossing scope boundaries.
