Passed N+ this morning!

Passed today with an 838. Wasn't to sure how it was going to go when I finished, but was pleasantly surprised with the score. A lot of questions on routing protocols and troubleshooting which was fine with me. Only one question regarding cable length and only one on subnetting as well.

I used the Mike Meyers AIO book based on many recommendations on here. Also used CBT Nugs, but I can't say I'd really recommend CBT for the N+. I loved CBT Nuggets for all Microsoft exams I've done to date, but I was not that impressed with the N+ vids and was honestly a little bored. Reading the Mike Meyers AIO and skimming the Lammle sybex book was more than enough for this exam.

This forum helped a ton for providing study mats, extra resources, etc so thanks a bunch to you all too! Next up is the 70-291 to finish off my MCSA and then I have some deciding on where to next from there (MCSE, MCITP:EA or SA, CCNA, etc).

Ya, I'm sure a lot of people like it, it just wasn't for me for the N+. I did not nor do I plan to take the A+ so I can't compare. Can't put my finger on a good reason why, but the Meyers book was a lot more enjoyable than the vids; the first exam I've taken that I can say the reading was more enjoyable than the CBT vids.

I did enjoy the CBT Nuggets for the 70-401 and 70-290 though, but not so for the N+. Next up is the 70-291 and I fully plan on using CBT vids for that exam.
