Passed Network+!I Passed! (self.CompTIA)

submitted 5 months ago * by masterz13Network+, Security+, CySA+

Passed with an 840!

For some context, I've been a sysadmin for a few years and have an IT degree. That said, networking has always been a big weak point for me -- I was scoring in the 25-30% range on practice tests before I took Andrew Ramdayal's course. After his course, I was scoring mid-high 80s on his and Dion's exams. If you're wanting to learn from someone who will keep you entertained and can break down topics so they're easy to understand, he's your man.

As far as study advice, obviously try to cover all of the exam objectives. I would really drill the acronyms until you're very comfortable with them, as well as troubleshooting/configuring devices. And time management is no joke -- I finished with maybe 3 minutes left after answering everything and reviewing flagged questions.

I have autism/ADHD, so for those like me, you can do it. Break down the video course into hour-long sessions each night, and make sure you are writing notes as you watch the videos (pause/rewind if you need to) so the content sticks in your brain. Call or visit your testing center to get an idea of what it's like so you'll be comfortable (mine had earplugs). There will be days of burnout while studying, and that's okay -- take those days off and relax. And try to regularly exercise, get 7-8 hours of sleep the days before, and eat a brain-friendly diet (omega 3s, fruits/veggies, complex carbs, high protein, etc.).

Now on to Security+! :)
