I was on the other side of you though, I failed with a 517 out of 554. So now I get to do it all over againl, but my exam cram book just arived so I'll make sure to get at least another 4 or 5 right this time. It wouldn't have been so bad to have totally bombed and do worse rather than come so darn close like that.

A lot of the questions were also focused on OSI and what works on what level. The next were on Authentication Protocols, Remote Access and Security Protocols so make sure you have a lot of that stuff memorized. My book Mike Meyers' Network+ guide to managing and troubleshooting networks was way.... way.... out of date, which was copyrighted 2004. But since my was the book for my college's Network+ class I had to use it. The Technotes on this site were good and up to date but they really needed some more background on stuff, like say the fiber optic cabling needed more info. Like 10GBase** need a little more info; I can't stress on how much you should memorize that info about fiber though. Make sure you know your connectors too, what connects to what on modems, both cable and dsl, T1 lines are there also. I ended up passing but just by a hair, I was really caught off guard. 576 was my grade and the passing score was 554. So it was around a question or two I probably passed by. Don't worry about "how much do I need to pass by with" since some questions they don't bother grading.
