in Network+
Passed Network+ this morning. Thought I would share the resources I used to pass.

-CBT nuggets <My greatest study resource. extremely long..but very informative>

-CompTIA Certmaster <Great info, highly recommend>

I went through all the CBT nugget videos and took notes. After the videos I went through all the Certmaster modules which helped to clarify and retain the concepts. I also used Professor Messer's study guide (10 bucks) to look over on the way to the testing center this morning.

Good luck everyone,

    What if anything surprised you the most? Like you were completely lost about on the exam?

    The simulation questions!...got like 3 of them...pretty sure i got them wrong..good news is they apparently aren't needed to pass? I'm not the strongest at sub-netting..and that's what these were all about...statically configured machines that can't communicate and the command line (sounds easy when I type it..but it wasn't a cakewalk)

    Congrats Man! I am planning on taking mine this weekend. I have read the CompTia Exam Cram and took notes. I watched Professer Messer's videos. Watched a couple of other videos to help clarify subnetting. I am currently taking practice tests now. I am getting about 90-95% but all of the practice tests are multiple choice with no simulations. Do you know of any sources where I can get used to the simulations? I am really nervous about the sims.

    I just wanted to throw it out there for anyone who might stumble across this thread, Network+and Security+ have a fair amount of overlap. I can certainly see how doing Security+ right after Net+ is in the best interest of the test taker. I just started Security+ CBT nuggets...and everything in the 1st nugget are things I just learned/studied for in Net+. Just wanted to provide some food for though.

    Good Luck,

    To be honest, I do not. I didn't take any practice tests before sitting for the exam. Also, I didn't incorporate any labs or simulations into my study resources either.

    Oh ok. Thanks anyways. So you felt prepared just reading the books and watching the videos? There's really nothing that I find difficult so far. It's just memorizing everything. I am just afraid that I'll run into a simulation and it'll be something that I am not prepared for. I am not the greatest test taker but I am studying hard

    Didn't read any books either. Just the CBT nuggets and the Certmaster prep. Memorizing what things stand for, learning how things work (DHCP, DNS) and committing well-known ports to memory is a huge step in the right direction. Also, though it's obvious, remember to know the OSI model layers (switches layer 2=MAC, routers layer 3=IP) and how they map to the TCP/IP Stack. It took me 3 weeks from start to finish to study for this exam. While I've had some networking experience gained from telecommunications and touched on networking principles in a Windows Server boot-camp, I honestly didn't have a ton of experience. This thing is certainly doable! I started studying for Security+ today and plan on sitting for it in 4 weeks.

    Good luck,
