A+ was way easier for me. But I new computers inside and out when I took it. I am taking Net+ this week and am nervous about it.

There are some things about Network+ that make it a little more pleasant. Not sure I would say easier.

1. All of that I/O, Processor information, and many other things you have to memorize for A+ are not there on Network+

2. A+ is two exams, Network+ is one exam.

3. I found A+ to be a bit more boring and dry.

I tend to agree... Although both exams took me about the same amount of study time 2-3 weeks with one book and several online tests.

crap I forgot my old pwd

Net+ has a higher passing score, but in my opinion the questions are more practical and relevant and don't require the memorization of too many specs that you will probably never use again. Stuff you have to memorize for Net+ actually helps tremendously when out on the job. Overall, it is not hard.

Thanks alot for all the input......I guess you should never take any test lightly no matter what anyone says.
