Passed Net+ today - notes and tips
Passed this morning: 862/900. Took about 30 minutes.
It reminded me of the old Microsoft Network Essentials test I took in 1999. I got more questions than expected on Novell, cable characteristics (distance/speed) and topologies. Just a couple on UNIX, apple, and one weird Microsoft XP question on how to set up a new dial-up connection. Lots of scenario and trouble shooting questions, several services (DHCP, DNS, WINS, ports, IPSec) and lots of utilities (ping, netstat, tracert, etc.).
Studied for 2 and a half weeks, an hour a day or so. Only made it through about 6 chapters in Exam Cram 2. Read about 75% of the Tech Notes here which are very good. Took the practice exams for Net+ from this site (the 60 questions Net+, 20 ports and 30 OSI) plus 2 practice exams from Exam Cram.

All things are possible, only believe.

Party time!
So, what's next?
Congrats!!!
thanks for that info im also planning to take up network + exam within next month. What I can share is statistics dont lie because when Im doing a lots of practice test before I took A+ exams I keep a record of my percentage rate until Im satisfy with the rate. Then thats give me a go signal to take the test.
Great Going! What a score! I'll be happy with a 562.
It's my turn tomorrow, Friday 9:15 at the Prometrics Testing Center at Danbury Flight School in Danbury, CT. If anybody is in the area and spots a plane doing a lot of loops and out-of-control spins, it means they are giving me the wrong test.
Good luck! Eat bananas for breakfast, they taste the same coming up as they did going down - just in case they give you the wrong test.
Are you going to let your CCNA expire and then just take the 640-801 exam again? I guess that's one way to get a free updated certificate!
Mike: I thought this was the only way. Is there another way (besides the 2 tests that is) to keep my CCNA current? Or are just talking about the paper thing in my file cabinet? Thanks!
If you pass any of the professional level certs your CCNA will automatically get renewed.But if you dont fancy some hard core study maybe the 801 exam is the best choice.
Network+ 60 Question: 88%
OSI 20 Question: 90%
Ports 30 Question: 100%
As you can see the average comes real close to my actual test score, so I would say it's a real good gauge. Thanks Johan!
