Just took the beast!
PASSED WITH A 554....
As you all know 554 is the MINIMUM passing grade...
WOW....WHAT A BURDEN OFF MY CHEST !!!!!!!!!!!
....sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
wow...
The test itself actually wasn't that bad.
You should know the follwing:
EVERYTHING about OSI
Protocols and their respective layers in the OSI
Hardware and their respective layers in the OSI
LOTS of troubleshooting...and I mean A LOT
Know what interferes with wireless networks (had about 10 questions like that!)
Know your cable lengths and standards...(10BASE T, 100BASE-CX, etc, etc)
Don't let the other questions that have NOTHING to do with the exam objectives get to you...it happens to the best of us
I took an 8-week course and studied for about 2 1/2 weeks after, so it's about 11 weeks of total studying.
I used the following: (in order of importance)
-ALL of the technotes here and all 3 practice tests (incredible review for me and I'm POSITIVE that these notes aided in me passing!)
-This practice test:
http://www.proprofs.com/certification/comptia/network-plus/exams/exam.php?xid=1 (another amazing test)
-The book that I had to buy for my class...(which completely SUCKED, but if you want the name here it is: Academic Learning Series: Network+ Certification 4th Edition Microsoft book)
Anyways, on to A+ 601 and 602 !!!!!
Wish me luck !!!!!
