in Network+
Thanks for the support support. I love this community. So i passed with a 790. Now on to my study methods and problem areas.
ok i sat down and right in the beginning the first question is so easy im moving along im thinking i havent got a hard question yet i finished in 30minutes. (really!) i went through and double check everything and i passed!
I got more questions of the troubleshooting methodology questions than any other question. No cidr, no t568a/b wiring schemes, like maybe 4 osi model questions. Maybe 2 questions about cat cabling. Quite a few about 802.11a/b/g/n maybe 4 or 5 security questions.
I will give myself a couple weeks off and then tackle a+. In the meantime im updating my resume and applying for a new job. Lol!
If anyone have any questions about the test let me know.

A+ requires alot of memorization and can take a little bit of time, and I didn't find it as valuable as the Net+.
The things on the A+ are great to know, but alot of the things (like how fast the current chips are and how many pins they have) are outdated by the time you take the exam.
Then you have to deal with HR who sometimes won't even look at your resume with A+. But usually that is only for help desk or mid level position from my experience.
Either way gratz on the pass!

This is how I view the A+:
701 covers a lot of legacy hardware which could be valuable if you don't have a lot of computer experience. Being able to take a computer apart and put it back together is one thing, but the knowledge of what you gain could be useful if you end up running across a legacy peripheral that you've never seen before.
702 covers more content that you're bound to see in today's computers when it comes to hardware, operating system's, networking, and security and I found that more relevant than the 701.
If you have the itch to learn, get it. If your job requires it, get it. If the latter do not apply, don't get it.
Congrats again on passing Network+!

I personally would go:
MCITP: DA
Exam 70-680
Exam 70-686
&
MCITP: EA
Exam 70-680 - Which you would have already taken with the Enterprise Desktop Administrator exam.
Exam 70-640
Exam 70-642
Exam 70-643
Exam 70-647
OR:
MCITP: SA
Exam 70-640
Exam 70-642
Exam 70-646
But to each their own.
