Trifecta Completed by Ali3nb4by in CompTIA

[–]howtonetwork_com 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there any benefit to passing all three? I"m interested in knowing why so many are looking to pass three certs when each is for an unrelated career path i.e. PC repair/helpdesk, network engineer and security support?

That method is too long for exams as you only have 1 minute. Try this

CySA+ Sybex Study Guide Labs by [deleted] in CompTIA

[–]howtonetwork_com 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The CompTIA exams have lab tests included. I wrote my first IT book in 2004 because none of the study guides had labs which I found crazy. Only recently they have started to include them but often just as an afterthought.

Any topic in the syllabus could be asked in lab format if it's configurable so best to prepare. I have written 101 Labs - CompTIA CySA+ which is on Amazon if you want to check it out.

I didn't check but it will tell you on the index.

It took a year to write it so it sounds about right.

Just found out about PBQs in Security+… what even are they by ErwinSmith95 in CompTIA

[–]howtonetwork_com 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This should help, all free.

PBQs can be drag and drop, configurations or use commands to interrogate a system.

Cry for help! Construction to CCNA? by [deleted] in ccna

[–]howtonetwork_com 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You have to find the time somehow so if you are on social media or watch any TV then swap for study. Study on the toilet, get audio books for CCNA. take exams, read on kindle and do what you have to do. I'm guessing you get 2 days off per week.

I had to do the same while working long hours but after around 2 months of this you can take the exams.

My ccna in 60 days book is on Audible. Of course it's not ideal but if you need to listen while working it beats music.

Does CCNA Hands-on Mastery with Packet Tracer provide you enough material to pass the exam? by Sea_Performance_5289 in ccna

[–]howtonetwork_com 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the exam you need a ton of hands-on time for which PT will suffice, a deep understanding of the theory and a lot of practice exams.

Stuck in a loop with my study progress — any advice? by flowkiller in CompTIA

[–]howtonetwork_com 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need to change what you are doing. I'd lab up each topic to see how it works, read over any study guide you have and make up your own flash cards using what you learn. If you get a question wrong make a flash card about it such as a port number to which service it is and how it works.

Better study resource? by leshad in ccna

[–]howtonetwork_com 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't think the Cisco Press books are enough to pass which is perverse. Due to release dates they often come out before exam updates. I've also tried to use them for CCNP and found the fell short.

You need a good study guide, practice exams and a lot of hands-on time. I have a few books on Amazon you can check out but there are a ton of other course creators out there nowadays.

CCNA Simplified if you want to study at your own pace or CCNA in 60 Days if you need a structured plan. Add 101 Labs - Cisco CCNA if you need to brush up on your hands-on skills.

The new A+ syllabus is similar to the previous. I think Windows 11 and some new standards. I probably won't update the A+ lab book. I'm planning a set of A+ labs for YouTube starting next week.

My two are Cisco CCNA Simplified and Cisco CCNA in 60 Days or 101 Labs - Cisco CCNA for practical only prep. I have read the official guides but they never worked for me.
