Some Motivation

joehalford01

I'd like to take and pass the Network+ exam next; I just finished the Sybex book from Todd Lamelle (and the security+ book by Darrell Gibson). I enjoyed reading it and I'm already applying stuff, now I just need to get motivated for the studying part of this. Throw some motivation at me...I want to start reading about windows servers next but I should really get this info down hard first and take the test.

One thing that can definitely drive you once the time approaches is to schedule your test in advance, but do not reschedule until it's extremely necessary, but do it 48-hours in advance though. That should motivate you to study. By the way, if you are unemployed, you should consider that as a factor too since certification may make you more marketable when applying for new jobs.

Actually scheduling the test is probably a good idea. I'm currently employed as an IT Systems Admin for a small company. I've got a ton to learn; so it's hard for me to stay on one subject and master it because I'm wanting to move onto the next already. I have a ton of hands on experience so far and I'm trying to fill in the gaps and really understand what is going on by chasing certifications.
