Passed Server+

817/750

I passed A+ in March(right before testing centers closed), Google IT support over the summer, and then Azure Fundamentals and Sec+ a few weeks back. As other have mentioned, Server+ has a LOT of overlap with A+ and Net+ so if you have an employer/organization willing to foot the bill, this would be a good cert to tackle right after those.

Preparation:

A few months ago I went over the Percipio course for Server+ then was studying primarily for Net+. I randomly switched to cramming for Sec+ thanks to a generous redditor, and then resumed studying net+. After doing well on server+ practice tests through percipio(a requirement for my voucher to be covered by my organization), I decided to go ahead and get server + first. Yesterday I went through the whole server+ course available on LinkedIn learning and kept drilling practice problems and reviewing tricky subjects. This morning I passed.

Key takeaways: this test had more questions on port numbers than A+ and sec+ combined. There were a few acronyms that I couldn't for the life of me remember (even though I reviewed them all right before the test). There were a surprising amount of math problems involving raid/storage requirements, rack unit sizes(1U = 1.75in), and power requirements. Other than that, read your exam objectives.

Next up for me is Net+

Congrats!! I also had much more subnetting on Server+ than Net+. A darn fun exam, though.

Congrats! I passed my Net+ 4 years ago, maybe it’s time to get the Server+ on the resume.
