in Network+
I passed the Network+ exam yesterday. I want to thank the people on this website who replied to my posts. Without your help, the task would haven been more difficult.

Any advice?
B.S. Geography - Business Minor
MicroMasters - CyberSecurity
Professional Certificate - IT Project Management
I'll be looking through what employers are looking for, but I think I'll probably do a few more CompTIA certs before the end of the day.
CompTIA certs are vendor neutral, as you will often read. Some argue that the ROI on CompTIA certs are not comparable to Vendor certs (Cisco, Microsoft, etc)
I believe that CompTIA's A+ is invaluable for starting out, and so is Net+. It leaves avenues to travel and explore, not to mention getting your first job or a better job.
And that will lead you down the path to Vendor certs.
What are your long term goals?
Nice job.

The performance based questions threw me for a loop at first. This was my first cert, and I wasn't expecting it. So I kind of went into panic mode when I saw them. I marked each one for review, and completed the other questions. Then went back and used the 14 minutes remaining to think slowly, and apply what I'd learned. There was no extra time given for these questions that I know of.
It was a good experience, because now I know what to expect when I test again!
Also, the transcender practice tests are a walk in the park compared to the real deal. There are very few hints on the questions for the real exam. You either know it, or you guess and gulp.
