Considering taking the test friday
I completed my A+ Certification 10 days ago and started studying for Network+ right away. I've been studying from the Cram2 book and purchased the notes here. Last night I took the test here and scored 88% the first time. I've been scoring between 85 and 92 on recent tests by prelogic (included with cram2) I'm thinking of craming away and taking the test on Friday. I bought my voucher today for $129. 
Any opinions?
The reason for the rush. I'm will start my MBA in Technology Management from the University of Phonix Online on Friday and would like to get this behind me.
I'm a old man of 45 and the last 2 months of studying is a little crazy.

Good luck
Thats that first thing I did. It's my bible.
Thanks for the feedback. I'm taking it on Friday!!!!!!!
In you we trust!
chemaster...I did the same thing, got the voucher for this test, read 90% of the T-cat pdf, the tech notes (special edition) from here, the exam cram2 book...now it's test time (9am)...
let us know how you did....
Best of luck to you! And congrats for putting it all back on the table. Many people pretend that they like to continue to learn, but few put their energy and time where their mouth is!

but NOW it's on to security+ for me...in my eyes the meat and potatoes of what I like in IT...small step, but eventually to the big plunge...I have the security+ exam cram2, all in one- G. White, Maximum security 4th ed., and hacking exposed 4th ed.
I think this will start me out to be 'ready for bear'- any views?
Still, the body of common knowledge required to pass it is something that you should certainly know, so from that standpoint, I recommend this test and studying for it.
Let me know if I can help

However, I was concerned at first. I was hoping to get a few easy questions to build my confidence but I didn’t see a simple one (simple port or layout question) until question 37. I remained calm and used the basic approach for the tons of scenario questions.
First, look for the hard-core ‘I know it answer’. If it wasn’t there then I looked for the hard-core ‘This is a stupid answer’ one so I could eliminate several.
Thanks for all the help because the forums here were very important along with the premium study guide sold here and the Cram2 book
Is there a lot of over-lapping material between Network+ and the CCNA exam? If I cram for 4 weeks am I likely to pass the CCNA with no Cisco?
Thanks again,

1. Congrats on the pass.
2. As for the CCNA question, with all due respect it appears that you are looking at it the wrong way. Cramming for 4 weeks may get you a cert, but what knowledge will have truly accumulated? How much hands-on will you have garnered for the test? In other words, what true value will be associated with your cert?

With all do respect ...........
I'm not in a position to get 'hands-on' experience but I will purchase a kit. However, I'm not in a hurry either and I'm sorry if it appeared as so. If this takes 6 months it's ok with me. My goal is not to be an expert or to actually be the person doing the work. I'm in a management compacity and wish to be technically informed so that I can have an understanding of the basic concepts involved. A certification isn't actually needed but it entices me to study.
Best Regards,
Just wanted to make sure you were not setting yourself up for a disappointment.
Let me know if I can be of assistance with your studies!

Thanks Freak for the words of advice and encouragement....I'm sure in the next few weeks or so I'll be head banging for more and more information...taking today off, then start back in the morning--...
If I didn't say before...Thanks Webmaster for the Technotes...you know I got a little greedy looking for premium edition of security plus
- Webmaster, your premium tech notes were instrumental in me passing the test. Also, your exam was the best indicator that I've found for determining my skill level.
I'm fairly new here but now realize that TechExams is my primary source for information no matter which exam that I'm taking.
Great Job!
I wish I could write as fast as some of you guys can study for exam
You're very welcome.. my pleasure
