CompTIA Net+ lab Sim

TechnicalJay

Hey Guys,

Have any of you bought the CompTIA Net+ hands on Lab Simulator? Is it worth the 40ish dollars?

Hey TechnicalJay,

I can't speak to if it's worth the money, because I just started using it...

However if you do try it, I highly recommend uninstalling Java before trying to install the sim. It won't finish installing for me until I uninstalled Java and rebooted.

Yes! I love it. Especially for the price.

Thanks for the tip

TechnicalJay

Awesome, thanks

I got these sims the other day and it spooked me so badly that I rescheduled my exam that was tomorrow for another 3 weeks.

I blew through the Matching and Drag & Drop areas with no issue thinking I might have just wasted $40, and then I get the simulation section where there are things like configuring port security and setting up static and dynamic routing all with a command line and now I'm concerned. Is *all* of this required to know to pass the test?

I don't recall specifics like this in the Meyers book or Messer videos and reading the exam objectives is open to interpretation.

Hello,

I took the N10-005 a couple of years ago and I made a 606. I believe those are for the Performance Based Questions on the exam.

I found a video on youtube that gives a preview of this software. Based on what I saw I think this is software will be very helpful in preparing for the exam itself.

Forgot to mention that this particular vid is for the N10-005 exam. My assumption is that everything still applies as the new software will just include update information.

Just purchased this last night. I am going to try it today after work. I am eager to use it. I am one of those guys that DO NOT like to read lol. I hope the hands-on labs help me. I am midway through the Mike Meyers All-In-One N10-006 book. It is getting tougher, and my dislike for reading is showing.

Nice, let me know how you like it.

Downloaded the sim earlier this evening and so far I like it. A little tricky to get the simulator to actually install but was able to get it going.

I just passed Network+ two days back, used this sim for practice, 4 of the PBQs were from this lab. For the price, this is good. I highly recommend this sim since there are not many options available.

Congrats on passing the exam.

What other study material did you use in addition to the lab sim?

Thank you Jay.
I used:
-Examcram
-Professor Messer's video
-Mike Myer's video in Lynda.com (Mike's videos are fun to watch, entertaining and his teaching approach is just awesome)
-Network+ iOS app by Learnzapp (for flash cards, mock tests, review etc, it was worth of $7.99)
-Examcompass.com Tests
-CompTIA Net+ hands on Lab Simulator

I found test to be much harder than expected (atleast for me), i was getting between 92-98% in pre-assessment tests but barely passed the actual test with 739. Better preparation and lots of tests will help to pass.

I just checked out the Youtube Video clip and it's pretty cool. I am slated to take The Network Plus N10-006 later this year and this seems like a good study resource. Thanks for the tip.
