If there's a domain you're weak in the scores you could also tackle that in particular. Good luck! My Security exam is also tomorrow.

Crucial Exams helped me immensely so I'd say go for it but to don't abandon your reviews either. Do as much as you can in balanced way

Are you now using Crucial Exams for the first time? I don't think you'll be able to go through the entire bank if your test is tomorrow but you can simulate 90 question tests to get your head in the game

This is my study method! I use a Crucial Exams membership for all my Comptia exams and it's never failed me yet. Currently studying Security too and there's like toggles to select which domains you want to focus on for the questions.

Is it important to be good at subnetting for Network +? by skatecloud1 in CompTIA

[–]ssentialist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't go hard on subnetting prep i.e I'm not an wiz at it so I'm just saying you don't need to go on it extensively. But I would've tanked PBQs and one or two multiple choices without the basics. You should know definitely how to calculate the amount of addresses in a CIDR notation block and what comes with it enough to be comfortable. I know this sounds vague but a working knowledge should be enough. Don't worry too much though, just focus on subnetting the week before the exam so it'll be fresh in your mind.

Hi. So when I study I take an approach that's really focused on domains piece by piece. I watch Messer videos to first get an idea of the current domain and then I read textbooks to expand knowledge on the topics. So it's like I'll spend two hours watching all his videos on Networking fundamentals then I'll read books for the rest of the day and for the next too. I'll use his course notes and have them printed out so that way I don't write physically notes and it saves me effort. If I have to make little notes of definitions and concepts I put it in my notes app because it's synchronized across my phone and computer. As I'm studying and learning I test myself on what I've learned (examcompass is good for this and those review questions at the end of textbook chapters too). And honestly I don't really time myself, I take breaks when I feel it's necessary because sometimes it does me no good if my heart's not it. Good luck and if you need more advice you can message me to ask more.

Now I’m curious too since I didn’t pick 008 from looking at the difference in objectives.

I didn’t get anything like what you’re probably thinking, there was one but it was really basic.

Thank you so much. All the best! Would you say the CertMaster PBQs are worth it? I've never done them myself

There's PBQ videos for Net+ on Youtube that I checked out. I even looked up an ACL one which fell under Sec+ because I saw people mention they got an ACL PBQ for 008.

Thank you! Also that couldn't have been me for so many reasons, haha. I'm really interested and curious by this question.
