PASSED A+, NET+!!!!!

JUSTONEFIX

I finally got through the Core, OS, Net+ with a 609, 605, 606. I don't even work in IT (career move) and I studied my a** off and got it. I was suprised that all the practice tests that I have taken, I didn't even run into any questions that even resemble those. The Core and O/S are pretty much the same as othre sights. I also was suprised on how many questions that covered MAC OS, Linux/Novell servers, Novell commands, and security (IPSEC, L2TP, Kerborous, MSCHAP, PAP). All of which were very briefly mentioned in class. Since the Net+ has recently changed, I assume that the online study guides and exams were outdated.

Yeah congrats cubed. did you pass them all in a sitting?

JUSTONEFIX

YEp, It took 5 hours total. I just took the Core, had a smoke, took the OS, had another smoke, took Net+, had a six pack. I hope this does some good.

Contraz! How long you put into the study for both tests?
I passed both tests in a 5 weeks time but took them separately. What's next for you?

Yeah, I got the A+/N+ done and out of the way. I guess my experience came into play when passing the both certs. I'm currently studying for the 70-270 XP and trying to find the ebook to the Ms Press XP Training Guide on the Net.

I'm going to New Horizons right now (career change). I will be taken A+, Net+, Sec+, MCDST, MCSA, MCSE, CISCO (CCNA). The courses are OK, but no class will prepare you for these tests. I had to do about 6-8 weeks of studying (at least an hour a day).

congrats!.........although, I hope NH doesn't still give out **** to pass exams..........

JUSTONEFIX

Yeah, they mentioned a few sights, one youhad to pay for and another freebie. THey say that they'll get you through the exams, but not much learning is involved. I went over a lot of those questions anyway, and not one was on the Net+ exam. A+ Core and OS was almost the same as practice. I didn't spend much time on those. I was mostly concerned with the Net+. If I was worried about the Net+, how about the CCNA, which I was told has a 96% first tiem fail rate. YIKKEESS
