Starting my Network + studying
Hey everyone,
I just started my journey. I'm excited to see where it goes and I'm hoping a learn a ton along the way!!!
I probably won't try to take the certification test for a 9 months to a year. I work full time and have a family, so I am on a steady diet of waking up at 4am to get my studying in for the day.
Materials I have:
Mike Meyer's book
Professor Messer's Notes printed out
Jason Dion's coarse on Udemy and his Practice Tests
Craig Zacker's Test Book
Here is to learn and further my education!

Hey ! Although I should make a more complete post on my "case". Let me give you some tips that helped me pass with 812 on my first try as I had no Networking experience 3 months before studying.
Just take notes!
I see you passed A+ and Security+, so I won't have a lot of tips to give you but this precious one. Indeed, as I had no experience in Networking and N10-007 was my first certification exam ever, I decided to be very cautious about my study plan.
What I did is simply to take every subject from every domain and write it in my own words in order to see if I understood it. (please note that I used the same materials as you).
I did it with the mentality of : "Try to explain it to a children, then to an adult and finally to a professional in IT."
Now I have a complete folder of almost 60 pages. All I have done is paper and pen work, I think I remember better by writing the old fashion way
For the PBQs, well you see how it goes, but in all honesty I found them super easy... just to say.
Wishing you the best of luck!Network+ CE
