joemc3,

When is the Network + N10-005 set to be retired? I heard is set for some time this coming August. However, unsure about that. Please confirm if you are able to. If able to, this will give me an indication if I should go ahead and purchase the ExamCram Network + N10-005 book after I take the A+ 220-802 exam or just wait until the new edition of the ExamCram book comes out with the new Network + N10-006 study material. Please let me know. Thanks.

Thanks for the info joemc3. Interesting how security is becoming a bigger focus in all areas.

Hello everyone,
I want to schedule the Network+ exam.
Yet I see on the Pearson VUE site that they have N10-005, N10-006, and N90-005.

I understand N10-006 has a stronger emphasis in security, over N10-005.

Yet I don't understand N90-005.

Which one should I take?
Thank you!
