In regards to the difficulty of Network+
Comparativly how difficult is net+ compared to both A+ tests?
By what I am seeing it is going to be easier than the OS. Am I underestimating it?
(obviously it varies by tester)

however,. there is like 70 questions.. compared to the 20-30 questions on the OS
Webmaster.. im wating on your Premuim guide to come out.. im gonna be all over that.
I used all of the online practice exams that I could find and some that I purchased. I was very glad that most of these exams have several trouble shooting scenarios on them.
When I was studying, I searched for study aids with strictly trouble shooting practice problems, but didn't find anything free or even that I could purchase like that.
Well, these are strictly by opinions. Best of luck!
PS. Network+ is not adaptive. You have 72 questions and 90 minutes to do them.
You said you did purchase some.. What did you purchase? Do you recommend them?

I got the Net+ free with an A+ purchase. I felt that these questions were of a more difficult level than many others that I tried. I believe that they helped me. The format is a lot like CompTIA uses. I think 4 or 5 hundred questions for $15.95.

I liked these simple quizzes. Be warned, they're not really that close to the real exam presentation, but they will help in determining weak areas.
They helped a lot in determining if I had really learned "the facts" of the matter. A lot of these are more like definitions of terms. If the demos help, you can get another 500 questions for $8.95.

I went for these, $19, but I I thought that they were effective. They were more testing than the CD practice tests I got with the All-In-One Study Guide. I think that is it for purchases. But, I used every free site I could find on the Internet.
I only used the All-IN-One Network+ Certification Exam Guide for my studies. I don't recommend that others do that. I should have used at least one more. However, I did pass!
Of course, the TechExam practice tests are a good measure of what you know.
Well, try the demos. You may not care for them, but I believe they kept me on track.
Janmike, thanks for the links. I might give the arlanatech test a whirl.

Like many others, I thought the next logical step after A+ was to progress to N+.
You could pass the test by reading a book and memorizing answers, yet not really learn and understand how it works.
I missed passing the exam last March with the 1999 objectives by 2 points which equates to 2 more correct answers. I was a bit pissed. However, the job I have now has exposed me to a lot of network troubleshooting and the experience has helped me tremendously. I passed my N+ last week with 833, compared with 644 a year ago.
Some people may disagree, but nothing beats experience. Good luck!
Also here is a free 48 question practice exam from www.cert21.com on the OSI model, there is also an 80 question TCP/IP exam (which you don't really need to pass the N+) but is good knowledge.
