in Network+
I passed with an 808. I have to admit though, the first 20 questions (btw there were only 90 questions, I thought 100?) had me completely certain that I was going to fail. It wasn't the material either. You know how you could be reading a book, engulfed in the fantasy world, and then you're stopped dead in your tracks because of a grammatical error / wrong spelling / awkward sentence and it throws you out of the story? A LOT of my questions felt like they did not form sentences and it made it much more difficult to answer. (It was like working with outsourced tech support!icon_lol.gif Maybe that's a new objective?? haha)

The biggest help for those questions was knowing exacly what each possible answer meant. Then I could eliminate the ones that I knew didn't fit the question.

Simulations weren't terrible, but it's definitely different. It seems like they have improved a little, based on older threads that made me think I would hate them. It would have been nice to have practice tests with simulators though, which I didn't include in my study habits. I used Meyers Network+ after having a good experience with his A+ book, as well as watching all of the Professor Messer videos (What a guy, hey?).

I think I'll have to dive into Darril's Security+ book now icon_wink.gif

    Haha I remember my CompTIA exams, the hardest part was understanding the question due to all the errors!

    Congrats though, nice score to boot! icon_cool.gif

    I think I got many wrong because I didn't understand the questions! Passed regardless with an 85%. Simulations where easy but one didn't work until I pressed reset. That was a waste of time! OP, congrats!

    Congratulations! That's funny because Net+ was difficult for myself too. When I took the Sec+ i was like wow that was way to easy compared to Net+. Maybe because it was multiple choice. Good luck on your next cert

    70-640 AD: if I have time
