Just passed the N10-006 1st time, here's what I think!
I just passed the Network+ N10-006 exam today!!! A+ was about to expire and thought I would go to the next level and studied for Net+ which automatically renews A+, now I have both! This is just MY experience and what I studied and perceive from the test:
Read Mike Meyers Net+ N10-006. Lots of information all which you can not possibly retain. I dedicated 1-2 hrs ery day, goal was a chapter ery 2-3 days. Try to remember concepts. I bought his question pack ($75.00, 950 questions). Having taken the test, his questions were very simplistic and did not reflect the exam.
Read Exam CRAM Net+ N10-006. Less condensed than Mike Meyers but does go throuh the Comptia obectives and backs up many of the concepts in Meyers.
Professor Messer. I went through the whole Network+ videos. But my opinion, just wasn't effective or detailed enough to support many of the concepts. I thought he was more effective with A+ than with Net+. Personally, I would skip Professor Messor and get a third book. You can NOT have too many books on networks.
Made tons of my own flash cards on:
And pray, and give God the Glory.

Thanks for the cuddos! Having passed that hurdle, it's on to the next. Im looking at the exam objectives for Security+ and I see almost 25%-35% of the Network+ objectives for Security+. All of 1.1 - 1.5 objectives, from NIDS, to Ports to WPA2 was on the Net+. So I am thinking that I might as well go for it! It seeems like of all of what I call The Triad, A+, Network+, Security+, it seems that Net+ and Security+ are the closest related, you do 1 you might as well do the other. If I hunker down, I beleive I can do it in 30-40 days reading 2-3 books and doing practise exams. What you guys think?

congrats on the pass
I have been seeing a lot of posts from other users saying the same thing about the N+ and S+ overlap. considering you are likely 25-30% towards an S+ certification it would make sense to capitalize on that whilst the knowledge is fresh in your memory.
I was planning on just passing the N+ to renew my A+ and go back to pursuing microsoft certifications to get my first MCSA but after reading all these posts about S+ being intertwined with N+ i may follow in your footsteps and just bash out the S+ as well and add 2 certs to the resume in the space of a few months.
best of luck in your S+ studies my friend

Proverbs 6:6-11Go to the ant, you sluggard! Consider her ways and be wise, Which, having no captain, Overseer or ruler, Provides her supplies in the summer, And gathers her food in the harvest. How long will you slumber, O sluggard?
When will you rise from your sleep? A little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to sleep, So shall your poverty come on you like a prowler And your need like an armed man. -
