Hello all,
I am taking the network+, A+ hardware, and 70-270 XP certs this week. I have the network+ first thing tomorrow and then the A+ tomorrow night. I have to take the XP cert on Thursday night as well. Any suggestions or helpful ideas to finish up my studies? I have take college courses on all three exams and these tests are my finals. Just wondering. Thanks for any input.

Thanks
One thing I know I need some info on is the TCP/IP suite and breakdown of protocols. I know most of them but that is the thing I am most uncomfortable with."Our arrows will blot out the sun."

You can find that info in the Network+ TechNotes at http://www.techexams.net/technotes.phprhelm2 wrote:One thing I know I need some info on is the TCP/IP suite and breakdown of protocols. I know most of them but that is the thing I am most uncomfortable with.
Make sure that you know the seven layers of the OSI model, which layer each protocol lives in, and what network port number(s) each protocol commonly uses. I memorized it by associating protocol name = OSI layer name/number = port number(s). For example: FTP = Application/7 = 20,21. -

Thanks alot. I have seen the site and it has helped tremendously. Also thanks for the tip on memorizing the port numbers."Our arrows will blot out the sun."

Mainly my classes were my main staple for the exams. The Net+ exam was hard due to having to know basically the whole IP stack. Also knowing every layer of the OSI model helped out along with ports and what each protocol that uses those ports do.
A+ hardware was extremely easy. I would suggest going over connectors and length limitations on standards (i.e 100BaseTX is 100 meters cable max). Other than that knowing what layer of the OSI model the routers, switches, NIC's etc.... reside on.
For the XP you basically need to know how XP works. Not the basics but knowing that Fast user switching is not available when on a domain and knowing how to identify the bottlenecks of the client system by using the performace monitor. I had about 8 questions on installation unattended and the 4 stages of the installation.
Hope this helps."Our arrows will blot out the sun."
