How to Study for the Network+ N10-008

[@FearlessGarage]

Congrats man! I just passed the Network + exam yesterday and your videos really helped!

[@vincenthumble]

Congratulations! Thanks for watching 🙂

Yes if you Google get certified4less you will find the website

Have you taken your exam yet?

Update?

[@yuna733]

I used your practice exam and pbq videos to study and just passed my net+! Thank you!

[@vincenthumble]

Eyyyy! Great job!! Thanks for watching!

[@AlanDike]

Congrats.. looks like you're running through these certs like I am.. A+, Net+, Sec+, Server+, Cloud+, CASP+, Pentest+, and CYSA+ is my path, before I chase my ccna/np... Good luck with your cert travels man, and congrats

[@vincenthumble]

Thanks, you too! I'm taking a break from certs atm to learn Python. Trying to figure out how to make a video out of that.

[@AlanDike]

@@vincenthumble Are you dual screened? Look at OBS, setup your scene so you're recording your IDE on one screen, with you superimposed over top in the corner from your camera. If you want to get fancy, do some chromakey.

[@vincenthumble]

Tri-screened 😂 yeah, what I mean is more so how to make it engaging/interesting content. RN I'm doing the mooc.fi python class and also working on BASH scripts for work, but not sure if that would be engaging for you fine people

[@AlanDike]

@@vincenthumble Probably not me as I already do as much scripting I I'd like.. and honestly more than I'd care to admit in both powershell and bash. I' glad to see a youngster doing the certs (I am already a CISSP, so personally ripping through the comptia * + certs isn't particularly a big deal.. its mostly review of crap I've learned over the last 25 years of doing IT).. but I'm really excited to see folks just stepping out and learning the material.. The info in the certs is good stuff.. even if it's not the most advanced. A good base is always best built on, and it hurts my soul to have to remind junior folks that the first step in the issue troubleshooting is ... CONFIRM/RECREATE the issue... makes me die inside a little very time

[@williamhamilton9442]

You can focus more on Net+ and Sec+ then go for the CCNA. It's more a combination of both of those. Still hard as hell though. Took that before I'm taking this Net+ cert.

[@vincenthumble]

Thanks Antonio

[@KIL0GRAMGAMING]

Congrats!! I'm planning on taking mine next week but that may change depending on how I'm feeling about it. This week, I've studied like crazy!!! Jason Dion videos and practice tests, Professor Messer, Certmaster Learn have been my resources so far. In total this week I think I've studied around 80 hours total. I'm an IT guy for the army reserves so I'm coming in with prior knowledge. Anyways, Congrats!! This cert has been tough. Time to watch your vid!

[@vincenthumble]

Yes, and passed!!

[@theexpatteacher8255]

Thanks for the good review video. You might want to try spaced repetition flashcards like Anki for your next cert.

[@Christian.Knight]

Subbed thanks for sharing! Getting readt to take my exam sometime next year and give mysef time to study. Wish me luck!

[@fercoshow]

I watched Prof Messer and did some practice questions and passed with that alone. People always reccomend to read material but I havent needed to for any college classes or Certification yet. Maybe I will need to for Sec+ who knows.

[@nyilashraf8205]

did you find the pbqs to be hard with just messer and some practice questions. which practice questions have you done?

[@jasonl5589]

6:48 Yeah man, that COMPTIA practice test was impossible. Most of the difficulties of the questions were Expert or difficult. What the heck!!

[@vincenthumble]

It's good for practice but bad because it sometimes scares people into not taking the test. Thanks for watching!

[@keisencampbell5323]

Thanks man, I just passed about 30 minutes ago with a 780

[@vincenthumble]

Woo! Congrats!!!

[@bojax]

Congrats!! I have been dragging my feet with this class. Just feels so overwhelming. Every time I learn one thing, it feels like I forget it by the time I learn the next thing cause there seems like there is so much to try and remember. Ugh, I was really hoping you wouldn't say I'd have to read the Comptia book. I find it to be so dense and dry. I've watched Messer's and Dion's videos, and am now trying to go through them again for a second time. I'm trying to finally get pass this one in a couple of weeks.

[@vincenthumble]

You can do it Bobby!! I also recommend Mike Meyers on Udemy. He's more entertaining than the other two and explains things a little differently. Might be helpful. Good luck brother

[@bojax]

@@vincenthumble Thanks! I'll check it out, and good luck to you on your continued journey as well!

[@deminmichael5808]

It might be time to revise on how you study for the Exam. Personally I used to try and go over and over the videos, writing them down in as much details as possible, but I found out about active recall through a youtube video and it's really helping me retain everything. There's an app in the app store called "QuizLet" and it generates some really cool flashcards (there's a lot out there for the N+ too or you can create your own). Another thing I did was instead of writing about the topics as notes I instead wrote questions about the videos I was watching and then after the video I would look at my questions and try my best to answer them. I would do this for every video and then once I reach the end of a topic (let's say network security) I would go through all my questions and try to answer them all.

[@bojax]

@@deminmichael5808 That's interesting...hadn't thought about writing questions based on the video before. I think I had a bit of a revelation last week. After going through Messers's videos again (and now finishing up Dion's), the concepts and ideas are finally starting to click into place as I understand how everything fits together. Before, I was so concerned about trying to remember every little detail from Cat and fiber designations to port numbers that I had brain overload and wasn't fully digesting the concepts. Now that I feel like I'm more comfortable in that area, I'm going back and focusing on the memorization parts like port numbers, acronyms, etc. It feels different this time around. After that, I'll take Dion's practice tests to see how I do, and go off of that to hone in on any areas I'm still weak in and go from there.

[@fallondavenport2448]

I felt that. @BobbyJackson

[@dennyklein1965]

I am also using the Certmaster Learn Curriculum and I also was provided a CertMaster Review Module, I invested over 24 hours worth of time in that alone. I've been freakin out how much I've overwhelmed myself in studying for this exam. The questions on that Learning assessment wasn't too bad but the one from the Review Module is overkill. It has hard questions and goes more indepth. It's hard to remember it all. After finishing both the Learning and the Review Module I've been really cramming those quiz questions and trying to get them down pat. I got my exam coming up next week. Hopefully I pass!

@Vincent Humble I hope so. I'm doing a first pass throught the CompTIA labs and practice tests then I'm gonna hone in on my weak point. There is a lot of information to take in.

[@xforeverxcorruptedx]

@Vincent Humble The CompTIA practice assessment is a lot more brutal than the Dion tests. Ooof.

[@vincenthumble]

Yessss indeed. It's good prep though. Actual exam is easier than CompTIA practice tests

[@user-ow5ul4mn2g]

Since you had already completed the labs, would you say that they were not primarily important for your comprehension of the material and passing of the exam?

[@vincenthumble]

They are not absolutely necessary, but they are definitely helpful

[@scorncrypto8879]

Hi Vincent, How long did you practice homie for the exam?

[@vincenthumble]

For this one I studied for about a month, lost motivation, and then another 2 months I think.

[@vincenthumble]

I also was in school for information technology and was working a network technician job between those two periods of studying so that helped a lot

[@jaredp3003]

I don't know what to do like I been studying for 3 months and a half and 2 days ago I failed the test. I don't know what to do.

[@ericeclifford]

Find out what you were lacking and retest it…

[@vincenthumble]

If you really want it, don't give up! You can do it! Like Eric said, look at where your weaknesses are and strengthen your position 🙂

[@areejsiddiq9076]

hey. was your exam online? are you allowed scrap paper to write things down while giving the exam? thanks

[@vincenthumble]

You're only allowed scratch paper to write things down if you test in person. If you test online they give you an app that is kind of like notepad where you can type and draw things and save it from each question to each question

[@jatiadesi]

Does subnetting have a large portion on the exam that you'd say we would need to be experts at?

[@vincenthumble]

Honestly, I feel like I over studied subnetting. There wasn't that many questions about it, but it was touched on and understanding the concepts is important

[@jatiadesi]

@@vincenthumble Would you say the same thing for Binary Math/IP Address as well?

Hi Vincent, congratulation on passing your exam, Uhm do you maybe have PBQ from your exam that you can remember? I'm writing mine in 3 days from today.... Please share if you have... thank you in advance.

Hi Ngato, I'm sorry, I cannot share questions directly from the test, but I would definitely recommend looking up some practice PBQs online! 🙂 If you study well, I'm sure you'll pass 👍

[@jarritrobinson8040]

I take the net+ on the 30th, but I tried jason dions tests and he has a lot of stuff in there that is just fluff. Either old material, or not relevant material in terms of exam objectives.

[@vincenthumble]

Agreed, there was some older stuff. Good luck on your exam Jarrit!!

[@813daniel]

i agree with you there’s a lot of questions that don’t line up with the objectives . What kind of scores were you getting before you took your exam and how’d your exam go ?

[@stevevazquez1429]

How long would it take to actually pass the test?

[@vincenthumble]

Most people recommend studying for 1 to 6 months based on your experience. The test itself allows 90 minutes to complete all the questions.

[@Noflexing100]

Do not use mike meyers. He waste a lot of time with info that you don’t need that won’t be on the exam. His humor gets old and annoying extremely fast. Professor messer and dion training is all you’ll need. I passed the A+ with them and network + is going smoothly with them. I’ll be taking the security + soon as well with their material.

[@vincenthumble]

I'm glad you found something that worked for you! I did find Mike Myers to get a little old at some parts. I did not use him for the security plus just the a plus and network plus.
