Study material
Hi,
I'm planning on taking my Network+ in 5-6 weeks and was wondering if the below would be sufficient in preparation for the exam
Sybex study guide 4th edition
Train Signal Network+
CBT Nugget Network+
and the technotes from this site
I'm a fairly quick learner, study and got my A+ in 3 weeks. I'm thinking this should be a bit easier (the studying) since it's a bit more focused and not all over the board like the A+
I have no *real* IT training or exp - just been building and troubleshooting comp for family/friends and setting up home network the last couple years. I currently work in help desk but I get no exposure to networking.

***I'll add you can Capitalize the word 'I' to show a little respect for yourself too.
'i' before 'e' except after 'c'.... weird?
I guess I've never thought of setting up a lab. I have have a network setup in my house with 5 computers connected, but I don't thinking I want to use that as my sisters will kill me if there is downtime
Time to give the video training a try. Hopefully, it'll stick better.
Quick question on the OSI model. So I read about the OSI model and I can name the 7 layers and their functions. I'm just curious as to what all this mean in the real world? The OSI model is just a conceptional model, so how is this applicable in a real life situation?

Congrats on your pass
I originally was going to test at the end of this month but wedding stuff took up more of my time than I hoped so I will shoot for end of June.
Also you are seriously not kidding about the Sybex book being dry. EVERY SINGLE time I read it I would end up napping for 15 minutes or so or be woken up by my then fiancee with my face in the book. I bought the Myers book and have not had one problem. The Sybex is just so dry.
