As compared to A+....

in Network+
Hello everyone. I have been taking a Cisco class at my school for almost an entire school year now, and have passed A+ already. I was just curious, how difficult is this exam when compared to A+? I just took a practice exam here and got 80%.

    Well, I took A+ over a year ago and took CCNA (the full version) last January...There is no real comparison. CCNA is much harder than A+, which was probably the easiest of the ones I've done so far (A+, 70-270, 70-290, 70-291, and CCNA).

    I was doing well on practice, but did not do well at all on CCNA...major difference from that one to A+ though.

    Sorry everyone!! I meant to ask how difficult is Network+ as compared to A+. I was simply stating that I am enrolled in a Cisco class. Thank you jpeezy anyway.

    You had me worried there for a minute!!! No problem though, we all make typos, As for the correct answer to your question: I don't know...yet.

    I am studying for my Network+ right now and have not taken the exam yet. I've heard they are similar and I've heard Network+ was easier, so I guess it is all in how you are and what you know.

    I won't be taking the Net+ for another 2-3 weeks, but I'll let you know what I think of it then...

    I think A+ and Network+ have the same level of difficulty, on second thought I think Network+ is slightly easier because you only take one exam for it.

    That's true...Network+ is only 1 exam, so I guess it would be easier then.

    I wonder if Comptia will ever combine those 2 into a single exam, especially since it is probably the lowest of all exams right now, and yet you need to pass 2 exams just to get 1 Cert...CCNA is like that, but you have an option of taking 2 exams or taking the combined version.

    Doesn't really seem fair, does it? icon_lol.gif

    Personally I found the Net + to be easier than the A+ in terms of exam difficulty, only the one test to take and to me the study field was more focused. A lot of it is preperation though, so use a good study method that works for you, and take as many practice exams as you can in the lead up to taking the test.
