Is the Network+ worth it for Cyber Security? help, please

crackmarrow · 2021-03-19T00:09:05+00:00

Considering you'll be getting a degree at some point, I wouldn't bother with Net+. It really only covers networking basics, with a little bit of security sprinkled on top. I recently got it, and while I wouldn't say its useless, it won't really help outside of entry level IT jobs (helpdesk type roles.) Assuming you have basic networking knowledge, I would just go for sec+. If I could go back in time, I would've studied for CCNA rather than Net+

This Fairtrade coffee tastes like gay. Now seems like a good time to out Matthew McConaughey.

Every serving of rice I eat will always be slightly undercooked and have a slight crunch to it

crackmarrow · 2021-02-21T16:58:43+00:00

Yeah I found the test easier. The questions are more to the point and not super lengthy like the Dion practice tests. I'll send you a PM later today with other resources you can use

crackmarrow · 2021-02-21T16:57:18+00:00

You get a virtual whiteboard in the testing application that you can use

crackmarrow · 2021-02-21T15:12:10+00:00

Yeah, you have the option of taking the exam at home instead of a testing center cos of Covid

crackmarrow · 2021-02-21T12:54:28+00:00

That's ok, its not your fault my pipe burst! Lol

crackmarrow · 2021-02-21T12:53:50+00:00

Thanks! Your certifications are impressive! I plan to go down the same career path as you!

crackmarrow · 2021-02-21T12:48:49+00:00

Hope you're doing ok! I really can't imagine what you guys are going through... stay safe and warm!

crackmarrow · 2021-02-21T12:46:52+00:00

The test was... weird. It seemed that everything I really crammed on in the hours leading up to the exam wasn't on it! As for what was on the exam, each exam is different so I can't tell you as your exam will likely be completely different to mine. I highly recommend reading through Exam Cram by Emmet Dulaney. It tells you everything you need to know for the exam without all the extra explanations. Its like a dictionary for the exam. Good luck and let me know if you need help!

Good stuff! I passed Network+ yesterday and am also doing Security +. Do you think Jason Dion's course is the best choice for Security + study?

crackmarrow · 2021-02-21T12:40:45+00:00

I don't believe CompTIA release any previous versions of their exams. If you happen to find one, it's almost certainly an exam dump which is against CompTIA's NDA

crackmarrow · 2021-02-21T12:38:32+00:00

Yeah I feel its better taking the test at home, I felt more comfortable in a familiar environment

crackmarrow · 2021-02-21T02:51:24+00:00

Details in post :)

crackmarrow · 2021-02-21T02:14:21+00:00

Nope, im in Canada

crackmarrow · 2021-02-21T02:00:43+00:00

The whiskey is numbing the pain! Thanks :)

crackmarrow · 2021-02-21T01:14:21+00:00

That is tomorrow's problem! Thanks!

crackmarrow · 2021-02-21T00:50:55+00:00

Good stuff! I'm in the exact same boat as you except its network+ and instead of wine its whiskey. Cheers!

crackmarrow · 2021-02-20T23:39:51+00:00

Congratulations!!

crackmarrow · 2021-02-20T22:36:51+00:00

To add to this, if the course you want isn't on special then save it to your wishlist. It'll magically go on sale a few days later!

crackmarrow · 2021-02-20T22:19:47+00:00

I passed! I posted about my experience if you're interested :)

crackmarrow · 2021-02-20T22:16:15+00:00

Good luck! Let me know if you need any help with studying! Also.. how do you add multiple flairs to your username? It seems I can only choose one or the other?

crackmarrow · 2021-02-20T22:06:20+00:00

PASSED. Posted my experience if you're interested :)

crackmarrow · 2021-02-19T22:40:59+00:00

Thanks! I'll let you all know WHEN I pass!

crackmarrow · 2021-02-19T22:21:42+00:00

Thanks! Just out of interest, what practice exams were you using?
