re: Taking my Networks+ In 2 weeks. Advice? UPDATE

I’ve got my CCNA and the CompTIA “Trifecta” currently work as a Network Analyst for an ISP after moving off the help desk.



Network+ is very shallow in terms of how deep the knowledge is. But very broad in topics.

Print the objectives out. Carry them with you. Watch Mike Meyers Udemy course in 2-3 days. Review objectives. Then go to professor messer dot com. His videos are ordered in the same order of the exam topics.


Basically keep staring at your objectives and watching messer videos until you can give one or two sentences about them all.

Learn your damn ports. There’s some random website you can find through googling that was very helpful. Basically a memorization game to remember the ports.

The exam was light on subnetting, however you need to know damn subnetting. Go to CBTnuggets and use the 7 day free trial. Watch the binary and sub netting videos for their ICND1 course.


The simulations by CompTIA are buggy pieces of shite. Flag them all and do them at the end.

With that said. What is your goal with this cert? Is it to get an entry level IT job, or do you want to move up?
