(3) Read a book, such as:
Mike Meyers' Network+ book or
Todd Lammle's Network+ book

thanks bro ...but u think the cbt nuggets for N+ are good enough?
and what is the difference between : N10-004 and N10-005 ....are they 2 different exams?

Ivanjam

(1) I have never watched CBT Nuggets but I hear they are a good resource however, they are a paid service whereas Professor Messer's videos are free.

(2) N10-004 is the previous (retired) version of the Network+ exam while N10-005 is the current version. I believe there is a post somewhere on Techexams that compares the objectives of the two versions.

Welcome to the forums anubhav65. This blog entry talks about some of the differences between N10-004 and N10-005: Network+ N10-004 and N10-005 Differences.

Good luck.

Unfortunately the N10-004 is retired so even if you know the difference between them, you can't take it anyway. Focus on the N10-005. Follow Ivanjam's instructions and you'll pass:

However, in my opinion I'd switch the order of 2 and 3. I liked using the videos to review as opposed to learn the material. But that's just me.
I also read maybe half of the Todd Lammle book, but I thought it was overkill and kind of dry. I liked the Michael Meyers book a lot more and actually finished that one.
