CompTIA Network+ tomorrow
Posted on 5/1/20 at 3:12 pm
Posted on 5/1/20 at 3:12 pm
I'm taking this for my CIS degree tomorrow (it's a pass/fail class as part of the major)
I passed A+ back in 2004 and again last semester.
Has anyone recently taken the Net+ and has any pointers?
My biggest question is how much subnetting/CIDR/IP range questions are on it
I'm taking 3 practice study guides, one is the official cert master prep from CompTIA.

I've got the CompTIA Trifecta from 2018 and a CCNA from 2018 as well.
I literally don't remember any subnetting on the exam although it could be there it wasn't major.

You're doing it online or are testing centers open yet?

I'm probably not much help here but I took that test in about 2005. I studied manual subnet calculations the most and there weren't any questions about it on the test. It was really easy. It might have changed drastically in 15 years though.

Online, CompTIA (finally) opened up online testing for certs. Long time coming IMO, I can take finals for classes with an online proctor but still had to go to a testing center for CompTIA? Meh
I failed the ICND1 about 5 years ago just studying nonchalantly between help desk calls at a huge pipeline construction company. The main reason I failed (by 8 points) was subnetting kicked my arse, I think i wrote down my calculation key down a bit or two wrong.
Looking at all the Net+ stuff there was an entire chapter on subnetting in the uCertify book and course, but looking at the practice tests there was only a handful at most and they were easy stuff like "a network needs 2 hosts, what CIDR would be best" etc.
Most stuff seems like basic protocol, layers, device, and port knowledge with some security and Wireless stuff thrown in recently.
Just curious on those who took it.

I know they started online testing a few weeks ago but I'd rather wait until an actual testing center is open. Too many issues doing it online.

What issues? Also I don't have a choice it's basically my whole grade for CIS3400 and it's due may 5th

Internet could go out. I've heard a lot of the proctors they use are foreign and some will fail you for anything. Someone walks in the room, your webcam doesn't have a good view, you look off to the side too much, etc could all potentially instant fail you. Just depends on who's watching you.

Yea I get that, but I've taken 4 online proctored exams now with no issue, I just lock my door and roll.
I do get that angle though and like I said, I have literally no other option

Network+ was easy for me. Security+ was a motherfricker.

I have to do sec+ eventually since my concentration is Cyber Security. I went this route rather than networking just to avoid the CNA because it kicked my arse last time. Plus I know cisco pretty well already and I feel like CyberSec is a better concentration for my career goal.
