I just passed my first cert, the Net+!!!

CertGrabber

I passed the network+ n10-004 exam today with a score of.. *cough* 802 (max 900, passing 720). A passing score, yes, but I thought I had a better grasp on the information.

This cert is definitely, as some people say, "a mile wide, but an inch deep." There's a ton of different protocols and technologies to be learned (and understood lol!). The more deeply you understand how the protocols operate and interconnect, the better.. this will make those scenario based questions easier. Just memorizing common port numbers and media standards won't cut it!

I knew I had many parts of the test down pat, but I guess this confidence is to blame for not studying some of my weaker areas. Live and learn!

My next cert is Security+ which I will start studying for tomorrow!

Congrats on the cert!
Good luck on the Sec+. I thought it was a little more difficult than the Net+ as it is a lot of scenario type questions that ask "which is the best answer".
