    I will help them :) I told them all about the book! ooo an 89?! sweet thanks for the clarification! I will add the cert to my account right now!

    It seems I have to wait 5 days for the online system on CompTIAs website to register that I passed.

    Congrats. Yeah the wording of the questions seemed to be encrypted.

    Thank you :)


    I should first get the Net + before I pre-sue my CCNA (well I just need to refresh my self since I went through the academy) since I can get that for life too. Does DG have a Network + book?

    LMAO......

    No he does not.

    What is JUST as good though is the Mike Meyers All-In-One books (not the Passport books....the big mamma-jammas.) It's what I used to get mine (my last job paid for them when I was there....). I used his books (and Transcenders) for the A+ and Network+.

    But DG, by far, has the best certification guide I have ever read for certification prep....it didn't feel like I actually read the book....and not just because I read it on an e-book reader, either....but the Mike Meyers books will also get you a pass for Network+.

    Sounds like a plan. Grab Net+ before the end of the year. I also used the Mike Meyers All-In-One Net+ and thought it was an enjoyable, easy to read book. There was actually more I had to study for Net+ than Sec+ due to lack of experience with a lot of it, but I really enjoyed that book.

    It'll be good preparation to get you in the right mindset for that CCNA, and from what I hear about 75% of Net+ is on the CCNA anyways (plus a ton of Cisco stuff) so it'll get you a head start.

    I love this board :) Very nice people and a lot of information! My goal is to get my CCIE before I am 32.

    Thank you Superman :) I will check those books out. I took my CCNA in the summer and I got a 780 on it and I needed 820 to pass icon_sad.gif (all in one test). I only paid 70 bucks to take the exam. I used up all my time on sim questions and got nervous (was my very first cert test). I also missed the last 5 questions because of time. So I think because of me going through the network academy (thats how I got the voucher for the CCNA) and studies the Net+ will be much easier for me and at the same time refresh my mind on CCNA at the same time.

    I still have to review because I security plus i needed first. The major thing I have to review is subnetting, its not difficult and I used to practice everyday and had it memorized but after a few months of not doing it you tend to forget a couple of tricks.
