Just passed N+ (scored 754). This test was hard, I think. Study materials included:
- Mike Meyers' All-in-one CompTIA Network+ Certification Exam Guide (ebook)
- Mike Meyers' Network+ video series found on Lynda (via free trial)
- Professor Messer (only on specific topics or for quick reference)
The book and video series by Mike Meyers was great. If you've never read a Mike Meyers book (I hadn't), watching his videos series made me appreciate his personality and attempts at humor. It's pretty cool to read a book and have a vivid picture of who's breaking it down for you (every published book has an editor, but you know what I mean).His approach is pretty good. He simplifies a lot of complex topics and highlights things you need to know for the exam, specifically. I recommend his book.Professor Messer's video playlist is just way too long. It also puts me to sleep. However, his videos are great when you need to reference a certain topic. I also watched his monthly study guides. I wasn't expecting to get much out of them, but they're actually fun and engaging. I recommend watching one or two. I'll be doing it once I do the CE thing. You know, to get some credits.I studied the material for about two weeks (including all-day weekends) and still struggled. I know passing is passing, but I feel I scored a bit low. I was hoping to knock it out of the park as I had high hopes I would/could excel in networking.I may take my sweet time on ICND1/ICND2.

'i' before 'e' except after 'c'.... weird?
Don't feel bad about the score. The most important thing that matters is what you do with your new found knowledge and skill set.
