Yikes a 721 but so relieved!!! I'm terrible at time management so my two months along with inconsistent study habits can be questioned.
Study resources:
Kaplan Self Test Software - Practice Tests (This help me more in late 90's with A+ than now with Network + so I'd say wasted time by me).
New Horizons 5 Day course - (missed a couple of days so some more wasted resources).
Professor Messer - You Tubes and monthly study groups. (Free is excellent but Dr. Messer will be getting a check soon!).
LearnZapp N10-005 - iPhone and Android App. (Hands down winner for flash cards, study questions and practice tests made the difference for me.).
Without violating the NDA, the first three questions were simulation and not too difficult. I will say that I was so nervous that I forgot TP cable wiring colors and missed an easy question or two.
Everything else seemed balanced in comparison to the COMPTIA test guidelines but I did not see a single sub-netting question. There were at least 5 questions where the language made very little sense or were so vague that we just had guess. Apparently, I got one of these right....
In retrospect, I personally could have done better by scheduling this for a late morning exam coming off a full weekend of with 2-3 hours of cramming and rehashing but that is probably just me. I screwed up a bit by scheduling late in the week during normal work hours and had a poor night of sleep last night.
Enough about me, just keep studying and you'll pass... I can't help to say that reviewing the LearnZapp iPhone app flash cards while in the parking lot just before the test was the difference.
Someone else recently posted a wonderful reference to Dominic Torretto and Fast and Furious "win is a win"..
This was the first thing I though of when I saw my score.
On to Security + soon.
Thank you folks for a great information buffer with these boards.
