Passed the Network+ this week!
I passed the Network+ this week on my second pass. I purchsed the Cert Master and Exam Voucher combo from Comptia with a free retake. Thankfuly I did not need the retake voucher. The test was hard but I am glad I got it done. If I can pass it anyone can. On to the 70-680. Anyone for some good tips for that one?

Signed up for NET+! Already have SEC+. Any Tips?
I already have Sec+. What are some similar topics that are covered in both? I have scheduled this for about a month and a half out. Should this be enough time to prepare ? I have the Mike Myers Passport 4th Edition as well as the Network + Guide to Networks 5th edition by Tamara Dean. Should this be enough to study?…

Question about the n10-005 vs. n10-006 exam and your opinion.
So I am planning on taking my network + exam soon. I see that there's an option to take either one. Which one would be best for me to take or does it matter? This will be my first certification ever. I do not plan on taking A+ nor do I have experience in the computer work field. I want to start an entry level help desk…

Anyone pass Network+ without having an IT background?
Greetings all, New to the forums and attempting to take my Network+ in the next month or so. Although the title of my thread might be confusing, my field is a bit related to IT a little bit (going for my PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering). To date I'm going through Lammle's book again, worked through Test-Out…

Where to start with Network+ ?
Howdy, Just looking for some advice on what the best route to start with the Network+ is? Passed my A+ last week and keen to get the ball rolling with this now. Previous method was reading the Meyers A+ book and the occasional Professor Messer videos and practice exams. Is there much difference between the N10-005 and the…

Passed Net+!
I'm very excited to have passed my Network+ today. This is the first cert in a long list of certifications I will be getting. I got an 856. I was pretty scared when the test started out with 5 simulation questions in a row (yeesh!) but it mellowed out after that and was pretty straight forward. It wasn't super easy, but I…

Passed Network + today
I took the Network + this morning and passed with a score of 792. Not the best score but a pass is a pass.

Passed Network+!!
I just passed the Comptia Network+ with a score of 844! I had previously passed the CCNA about 2 years ago, so it wasn't too difficult for me. The most annoying aspect of the exam is the wording of the questions. Sometimes some question's seem like a trick question, but then again I could be overthinking it lol. Also, one…

Should I give this thing an attempt?
So I can't really tell if I am really ready for this test or not. I've read Meyer's book, took notes, and watched most of Messer's videos. I've been doing Meyer's practice tests and scoring 90-95% on 3 exams. I also did Darrel Gibson's test questions, and found those to be quite easy. Easily 95% on his questions. I got my…

STP protocol and lowest MAC address.
hi guys/gals. questions related to Network+ N10-005. To begin with, all bridges on the network share the same priority number, and so the bridge with the lowest MAC address becomes the root bridge. When it says lowest MAC address in relationship to STP, what does it mean? Thanks

Passed It!
Somehow I passed the Network+ exam lol. Who put those sims in there? Had to go back at the end and do them but I'm pretty sure the computer was laughing at me as I answered them wrong. 793 score but I'm not complaining. CCENT is next in May at the end of the semester. If I can do it, anyone can.

Failed the Network + today
I studied for 4 weeks solid and failed the Network+ exam horribly today. I am not sure what I did wrong studying. All I know is I was not prepared for the simulations at all. My study materials were Actual tests and Dr. Messer. I am at loss for what to use. Any deals on vouchers for a retake later. $270 is too much!

Network + Passed Yesterday.
Wow. Did it. Passed with a high score but felt drained after. Lots of "What is the BEST" type questions. Make sure you read every question carefully, mark it if unsure, and return to it at the end. Also found it helpful to leave the Sims for the end. Before starting the exam I wrote down some key mnemonics I had in my…
