Taking the A+ (601) and Network+ on 08/25/08

DaedalusK71

I am as ready as I can be, I think.

I just finished my Network+ class in college but I know (from my own self-study) there are things we didn't cover.
I am interested in knowing what are some of the "out there" questions some of you have recieved?

Thanks in advance for all your help!

My test was rather straight forward. I don't recall any off-base questions. I got a few routing protocol questions that I thougth would be beyond the Net+ scope.. but they were there.

I had a few QoS questions that caught me off guard, otherwise you'll find most of what you need in the technotes.

Good luck!

That's one cert under by belt. Wasn't as hard as I thought it would be but there were some of the troubleshooting questions I just didn't get. But that will come with experience. But, I passed and that is what matters.

The only way you can know what to study for this exam is to check the Network+ page on the CompTIA site and click on "Download Network+ Objectives" up in the top left corner. Anyone who has taken a certification exam (from any vendor) cannot tell you what they saw on the exam due to the NDA they signed before testing. Have a look at the objectives, make sure you know them all. If you don't, pick up a second book to study from. It's nearly impossible for a single class or book to cover every single detail of what you need, which is why CompTIA recommends you have the A+ and a little bit of experience working with networking equipment. (Doing some hands-on labs will also do.)
