How long did it take YOU to pass the Network+? Best resources?

Good evening all,

I know you probably had a lot of people ask how long does it take to study for the Network+ but how long did it take you to pass this exam?

Also, what resources do you recommend?

Many thanks.

It took me about a week but I had experience in networking field. As far as material, Prof Messers videos (free) and when I purchased the testing voucher I bought test simulator. It gives you a general idea how CompTIA questions are formulated.

My advice for you is not to overthink answers, usually your first pick is the correct answer!

I took the exam 4 years ago and I know it's changed since then but it took me about 3 weeks to study and then I took and passed the exam on the first attempt. I had quite a bit of experience in the field though when I started studying plus I already had gone to school for Systems and Networking so a lot of it was just review for me and learning about some of the technologies I had never studied much of before. From what I hear now though the exams are much more interactive so I'm not sure what the recommended study time is. I used Mike Meyer's All-In-One book which was great. It came with a couple of practice tests that were great too. Other than that, I just relied on my experience and previous knowledge. Good luck with the exam!

I studied the Network+ Exam cram book for about a week, including reading it cover to cover over the weekend. I was currently working as a Hardware Tech for several years at the time and was familiar with about a 1/3 of the material before I even opened the book from learning it on the job.

It took 1.5 months for me to get myself completely prepare for the Network+, I made an effort by giving 2hous every day after when I am back from my work. Prior to that, I took the A+, and for both of my certification, I used uCertify online study material that helped me to pass my certification in one attempt with good marks.
