How much study time for someone who took a networking class to pass Net+?

Mr.Ritz

So yeah funny thing happen my professor decided to W me because I turned in a ton of work all at once. At least I think that is what happen as he wont respond to emails I did pass the MS networking fundamentals exam which I know is ultra easy and means nothing but I am hoping reading 15 chapters of networking and passing that silly exam puts me somewhere. My goal is to pass the Network+ by the 15th of next month so I can try and get the college to waive the class for me. This whole situation is silly I saved all my course work and all my test questions to the class. I could just sign up again and submit all the work on day one and there should be no reason they shouldn't give me an A.

Are there any pay websites with classes that charge by the month or day?

It's completely possible. What kind of resources are you currently using? I would grab the Network ExamCram book and study that since you have a class behind you.

This is the book for the class but the rental expires on me soon from my kindle. The book kinda sucks tho..

I hate to do this but should I waste my time on studying subnetting? I hear people might get one or two questions about it. I do suck at it but right now key is to pass the test before classes start. I notice that book is 18 bucks for the kindle.. KINDLE FTW

Check out Professor Messor for free N+ Training:

Professor Messer's Free CompTIA Network+ Certification Training Course | Professor Messer - CompTIA A+, CompTIA Network+, Certification Training

Also look at Mike Meyers Network+ Passport book.

I read and finished the book in a week - easy read, Mike Meyers makes it pretty easy to understand, not as dry either.

Spent the 2nd week watching Professor Messor's videos, then used the 3rd week going through flash cards and practice tests.

I tested at the end 3rd week and scored 842.

Did you make flash cards as you went from the bold terms or print some out somewhere?

I'm wondering what book you used for the MTA Networking Fundamentals. Many people have mentioned that they only supplemented a little bit of knowledge with this book (Microsoft Windows Networking Essentials ISBN 1118016858 ) to teach Network+. If you used that book and understood the concepts in the class, you could easily use the resources other people have mentioned here and pass the Network+ by the 15th of next month.

Good luck.

I apologize for the late reply! I used flash cards for bold terms and cable speeds.
