Passed Network+ this morning!
Yeah!!
Super happy I passed, and at the same time, I would have liked to know the answer to the questions I got wrong.
I know nobody is perfect, yet... I would like to be able to do this test 10 times, and pass it 10 times.
For other's reference, I used only the CBT Nuggets videos.
Some feedback on the test, for others that have not done it:
(
note: I rather be vague, instead of violating the NDA of the test)
Be calm. If you studied, and you know your stuff, then it's all good.
Get comfortable in your chair/desk/cubicle. After I while, I repositioned the keyboard and mouse to how *I* found them comfortable.
Don't doubt yourself. Be confident in your decisions, and move forward.
Try and leave the world outside. I was thinking about my motorcycle the entire test - because I didn't park it in the safest place. Don't do stuff like this.
Eat/drink! I ate a normal breakfast before hand... you don't want to be having your stomach growling.
Other than that, I think it's easy peasy (taking the test, not the material).
I look forward to future Certifications.
My negative feedback:
I did not like the fact that either CompTIA, or whomever did the test, forced me to answer "market research" questions AFTER the test.
Once I finished the test fully, and submitted, I had to answer 100% irrelevant questions to Network+.
For example: my sex, age group, what other certs do I have, what future certs do I want, why did I take the certs, did I, or my employer pay for the cert, what is my current employment situation, what eduction level I acquired, etc.
That part should be optional... I know this market information helps CompTIA further their tests, certs, and future programs... yet I should not be forced to do it.
That sucked on their part.
Now that all that is said and done:
What should I do next?
I am thinking about the linux certifications... because I love linux and the BSDs.
Yet maybe the Security+ is better?
Open to suggestions!
