I'm trying to get Network+ and Security+ before the end of the year, and I really don't think I can afford to fail considering Winter break will pretty much prevent me from getting vouchers to schedule a test, so essentially the year ends on December 23 for me. Now, the good news is I already have some experience with security stuff, plus the concepts and objectives seem to be far more definitive than Network+. Well, I really hope I can pass tomorrow. Anyone have any tips?

I know the OSI model, and I'm alright with protocols. However, the media lengths/speeds/type of cable get me. The speeds are pretty obvious, I'm decent with the types of cable but I don't know how I'll memorize the lengths. Is there a mnemonic or something? Thanks again.

Unfortunately, my friend who drove me there failed and that just bums me out. I guess on the bright side I'm now leading the class in certs. Now, I'm definitely planning on getting Security+ next, and as I've said, that stuff is a lot easier for me, I already know a good bit about security topics. So, what should I do next? I'm thinking maybe if I pass Security+ quick enough, I may still have time to take easy mode Server+ 2005 exam. Now, I really wish I could just go do CCNA Security right away after Security+, but out instructor is making us get Server+. Ah well.
