I was looking for opinions on the difficulty of taking this exam and my search led me to this site. First and foremost hello! I guess I wanted to give my review of the test because that's what brought me here. It was 32 questions long and I did it at home and it was monitored by web cam and mic. I had to take a picture of my license and my face and empty my pockets and show my hands and arms so there was no writing on them. I did all that while talking to a rep on the phone! Onto the test, 32 questions long, pretty easy I did it in 20 minutes. My prep was reading the Microsoft Network Fundamentals book, watching the videos in virtual academy and doing flash cards and taking online mock tests. A lot of questions that I answered in the mock exams online were not on the test, but the knowledge I gained from my studies and using critical thinking helped me cruise through this test. I wish all good luck who get started. Onto the next cert!
