In dyer need of help!

Hey Guys i'm planning on taking Network + next month, but have a few questions was hoping to get some help. The performance based questions have me REALLY worried! Not sure how to study for them, I have no previous networking experience and am currently trying a virtual machine and find it extremely overwhelming. Any suggestions, thoughts, ideas, would be greatly appreciated! I would love to get into the IT industry and hear this is a standard, and a great certification. I'm doing well on the practice exams from the certified material such as:
CompTIA Network+ N10-005 Authorized Exam Cram 4th edition by Emmet Dulaney
Network Deluxe Study Guide 2nd Edition by Todd Lamle

I've also gone through CBT Nuggets for Network +.

Please give me some guidance, I feel like I should give up as I don't understand the performance based questions, and don't know where I can get help!
