Network+

Has anyone taken this cert exam? If I take it and pass, one of my instructors will give me a 99 on the final. I'm just wondering if anyone can tell me how easy/difficult this cert is or any other pertinent info about it.

TIA
 
I took it approx 2 years ago and passed on my first try - it wasn't too bad. I got an automatic A on my final for my Net+ class too.

I would say that it was harder than the Win2k exams I took as the range of subject matter on the Net+ is much more broad.
 
You mean the Network+ is more of an overall approach while something like the Win2k stuff is more nuts and bolts?
 
Well, the Win2k exams cover the basic Windows 2000 networking, domains, active directory administration, etc whereas Net+ covers Novell, Windows, WAN, LAN, UNIX, cabling, etc - there's just a lot more to cover (and study).
 
Know any good online study/resource sites?

I know I could google for it but that just gives me hits and not opinions. 🙂
 
I took it and passed it about 2-3 years ago as well. 1st try. Just know lots of the basic networking stuff and you'll do fine. I actually found it to be more difficult than I expected. I past with no problems, but the questions were not really what I expected.
 
hmmm its a perma cert like A+ right? i'd hate to have to renew 2-3 certs every couple years. I plan to take the A+ and poissibly this test in the summer.
 
Took it 2 yrs ago as well. I didnt know it even existed and when I lost my last job I figured id look into it and realized I knew more than I thought. Read one book and learned a few more things about networks I hadnt ever used and passed it on the first try.
 
Net+ was a breeze. Just know your network cards (10BaseT, BNC etc.), standard ports (80 is http etc.) the OSI model and addressing/subnetting and you will pass.
