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 !!!!!

    Congrats well done :)

    A+ isnt that bad, (Except Vista, Heel XP heel boy)
    but why did you do N+ first? and then A+

    everything in N+ follows on from A+
    I understood things better when I did the A+ first

    Do you have some prior unofficial training before tackling N+?


    anyway well done :)
