I failed I-Net+ exam.

in iNET+
I took the I-Net+ . I failed it by exactly 100 points after memorizing questions, and concepts/notes from both CRAMSESSION and Whizlabs test questions and study guides. Failed because unlike the people who wrote the exam I live in the real world. The technical questions were fine, but some of the "What is the most common..." questions surely are dependant on who does the research etc, etc. Study for the knowledge about security, but unless you actually need this qualification then don't bother. BE VERY CAREFUL ABOUT Whizlabs AND CRAMSESSION prior to purchasing.

I'm not trying to make you feel bad or put you down, but memorizing answers is never a good way to study, and is about as far removed from the "real world" as you can get. Read books instead of practice tests next time and you'll be fine.

Although there has to be a certain depth to the knowledge, and certainly some troubleshooting experience involved, this is an entry-level exam and it's not completely for "technical professionals"(whatever that covers). It is going to be easier than cert exams that focus in on one certain area of technology, like networks, domains, directory services, etc.
catherine1001 just underestimated the depth, wasn't deeply enough into the actual exam format, and used the wrong study approach. It happens.
Good luck to all on this cert.

at 3pm i looked on CompTIA.org and found that i-Net+ was a test i totally forgot and wanted to take it...called my testing center at 3pm...paid and came in at 5pm and took 18mins and completed & passed the test..
..it was easy for me...but then again I have took every test & certified except Linux+ and CTT+...so im used to CompTIA culture and testing by now....its DIFFERENT FOR EVERYONE....
Best advise I could give would be...not knowing the answers but also knowing why the other choices are NOT right..

I plan on taking the A+ and Net+ withing a few months and I know i'm not goin to go and waste my money if i have any shred of doubt that i'm not prepared.
Also, buy the right Guides, by getting a $3 bargain bin i-net+ exam prep at micro center, and a free pearson guide, and taking about 3-4 diff practice tests, I passed mine with an 855, very easy test!
just take time, and figure out how to tie it in with what you already know, you'll pass the second time!
Go to Amazon Marketplace and get the Exam Prep i-Net+ by Tcat Houser
They didn't pay royalites as they we're going under and sold the books for $3.00 a pound, by the pallet load.
Sure it's six years old. And html is still html. Legal stuff I wrote then still applies today. For about $6.00, if you study you have to pass.

DO NOT MEMORIZE THE ANSWERSfor my net+ i studied from a printed source, went to a course and a lot of practice exams. That help me a lot. mhh 100 from the passing scores seems that you need more self study and more expertise :S.
Net+ is easy.
DONT GIVE UP, KEEP TRYING. LIKE MY PARTENERS IN THIS PAGE

I took the I-Net+ exam at the end of 2002. This was shortly before beginning and earning a 17-semester hour certificate in web development from the local college. At the time, my HTML knowledge of tags was way below the level it is now. As a result, I likely missed more questions in this area than I would now.
What helped me pass, I believe, was my then-knowledge of the net and networks in general, which has been acquired through many years of experience.
Recently, I've been freelancing on some web sites and content managers for small businesses. Thinking of trying the CWS foundations exam. Looking at the security path for CWS. Should have converted I-Net+ over to CWS back when that was possible.
WOW....talk about beating a dead horse.....the I assume to be girl failed more than a year and a half ago AND she's been inactive on this board close to that same time...we're still adding our insults to injury?
chances are...she could be way passed that by now and doing something more advanced than maintaining websites.
