Passed Network+ today with 839!
I am super excited to have passed that test! I had 8 simulations (3 related to wireless implementation, 1 for wiring a T56B cable correctly, 1 OSI model related sim, 1 in a network environment where users couldn't access certain servers and I had to configure each PC to have the correct IP settings that works with their subnet, and 2 sims related to solving issues in a switching closet).
For some reason I felt that there were more questions related to security and authentication than anything else. So make sure you study up on authentication methods and understand the RADIUS server and the different VPN protocols used especially.
I took about a month to study and used CBTnuggets Keith Barker as my guide. I also used the Sybex official study guide to look more in depth on a couple of topics. I did some practice simulations through LabSim which was provided by my school (WGU), and also the provided practice exams. I did more practice VCE's as well, but I highly recommend, for those who are planning to take the test, to not rely on those because you likely will not pass unless you know the material well.
Overall it was a fun journey and can't wait for my next one.

My next one I am working on right now is the CIW v5 Database Design Specialist. I really need to get that one out of the way. Then following that I'll either do Security+ or Linux+. Thanks all!
