Passed Network+! (005)
Just passed with a score of 806! I used the practice exams here on TechExams and I threw all the Professor Messer videos on my phone and watched on my commute to and from work every day for the past two weeks.

Network+ objectives don't cover all the basics
I've been thinking about the network+ exam and I realized it doesn't cover anything on SFPs, QSFPs, XFPs, or any fiber transceiver. Knowing the differences between each transceiver and the different types like LR and SR seems like something that would and should be on the network+ What do you think? What else is the…

Passed Network+ with no experience
It was not easy, but I passed my Network+ test today with a 770. It was the 10-04 test. I am not sure if it makes a difference or not to employers whether you pass the 10-04 or 10-05 test. Anyways, for those who are wondering if experience is required to pass this test, it is not, but it would make it MUCH MUCH MUCH easier…
