Around 3 months each, but I also have a lot going on other than studying for certifications.

TeKniques

A+ = 3 months
N+ = 1 month after A+

MCDST = 3 months total for both exams.

Current studying = taking forever lol, hopefully will take 270 next month sometime and that would be first test since Feb

<---- Took me about 2-3 months for Net+, around 2 months for A+, and I'm gonna schedule I-Net+ so prolly a month for that. It's hard studying for certs while going to work and college full time though...

1 month=network+ study 30min a day
2 month=security+ study 60min a day
1 month=cwna study 120min a day
1 week=i-net+ study 15min

Within 2005.
