I have taken a few networking classes so already knew some of the conceptual questions (like the OSI model for example and what operates at what, like SSL at the Session layer). I do plan on getting the Network+, I just wanted to get the Security+ knocked out first.

Think about it, you were going to take both anyway...you already know the concepts of the Network+ exam, and whatever nugget you gain from the Network+ experience can only help with Security+.... If you're not in a serious time crunch..., do Network+ first and call it a day. Just sayin', btw.

I figured since Security+ recommends Network+ I would start with that one and see how much time I have. But if you have the time, I don't see a reason why anyone would skip. Right now I'm getting 80-90% on all Network+ practice exams. I do need to review the topologies and cable types, but other than that, I'm probably ready to take that test as well.
