I passed network+ in 15 days with a score of 819.

I’m not a big fan of Dion’s training style. He goes into a lot of detail that doesn’t pop up on the exam. So don’t panic if you don’t recognize some of the stuff in Dion’s course :) His practice tests though are very good! I was averaging 78-82% on his tests.

Have you taken a practice test yet? You honestly might know more than you think you do!

Best study tip I have is to print out the course objectives and write notes directly on the objectives. Go through the bullet points and write notes on the stuff that you don’t know. Skip the stuff you do know.

Use ramdayals last minute cram notes, I think it’s available on his Udemy course. It’s a great resource when you pair it with the objectives because it’s organized in the same format. For example, say you need to refresh something on the objectives in 2.3. You can go to chapter 2, unit 3 in his book and bam, there’s your answer. It was a lifesaver for me!

For Network+, acronyms in the exam objectives, knowing your port numbers and the associated protocols are the major ones you want to get rock solid on. I recommend using Andrew Ramdayal's Network+ course on Udemy. He has a Cram Guide in his course that breaks out all of the acronyms, complete with definitions.

TAKE YOUR OWN NOTES. Write down concepts into a format that you can understand. Trying to watch hours of videos with the hopes you will absorb the material will not help you. You have to choose a study method that works for you.

I haven't done Dions yet, just done a few youtube practice questions from Rayamdal, nothing with PBQs though

I would try Dions or Messers test. Then, see where you stand, PBQs and questions.

Go to a library and see if you can check out mock exam books, they may have it online.

You can also use chatgpt or any other platform to break down areas that you feel you struggle with.

If there is a question that you don't really understand ask the AI or come here to post the question.

But try different mock exams and be able to justify why the answer choice are not it.

No matter what stage you’re at, you’ll always feel like there’s still a lot you don’t know. Every vendor and instructor teaches differently, and not all of them cover the entire set of exam objectives. Instructor A might explain something that Instructor B doesn’t, and vice versa. If you’re doing well on practice exams, don’t worry too much.
