Hats off to you buddy! The most exciting part is the journey itself, especially the part of figuring out the study or note-taking method! I've been through that and I know how it feels like. Buddy it doesn't really matter how long it took you to study for the network + the important thing is that you passed and again Congratulations!

[@ZeroDegreeTech]

Thank you!! I love the journey, it is always so fun!

[@MorganVerstuyft]

Thank you for sharing your journey. I am starting Network+ with very little knowledge of IT, so this gives me hope!

[@ZeroDegreeTech]

Go get it!! You are absolutely capable! Feel free to DM me on any of my socials if you have questions! @tylermay605

[@Oomtet]

Congrats on passing that was a lot of consistent hard work you put in well done bro...

[@ZeroDegreeTech]

Than& you! Consistency is everything!

[@TerryCochran-jb6jx]

Hey whats up Tyler! I ended up passing my network + exam today and I just wanted to say thank you for providing all the sources you used, it helped me a lot!Your videos also kept me motivated.

[@ZeroDegreeTech]

Huge congrats man!!! And thank you for the kind words

[@ihoops03]

thanks for the realistic advice and congrats on your new journey!!!

[@ZeroDegreeTech]

Thank you!!

[@jesusxchristo]

Congrats dude! I'm hoping to take my test sometime soon and plan on using some of the same study techniques as you.

[@ZeroDegreeTech]

Keep me posted on how it’s going!

[@timothygreer2400]

Got my exam scheduled for later today! My study plan was very similar to yours. I took the A+ 1001/1002 earlier this year and used a similar plan to pass the first attempt. Hoping to knock this out and move onto Sec+.

[@ZeroDegreeTech]

That’s awesome to hear! How did it go? Are you on LinkedIn? I would love to connect

[@IceNetx]

i just took my network+ and passed with a 756 (first time) -- thank you for this video, it helped shape how i approached the test. i used jason dion as my primary mode of studying but did accompany it with mike meyers book with practice exams. the actual exam felt harder for me and the PBQ's (nothing in the practice exams w jason dion and mike meyers could compare). but for sure jason dion is a must

[@ZeroDegreeTech]

Woot woot! Huge congrats man!

[@SethKnows]

I keep procrastinating. I'm also using many different resources, but I'm finding that i'm just memorizing the practice test answers rather than actually knowing the content. Jason Dion's of course. Congrats on your victory!

[@ZeroDegreeTech]

Thank you! This is why I think reading the books can be so helpful, it really forces you to digest all of the exam information!

[@purplelookplay2364]

Very helpful; thanks ! I love Jason Dion’s courses and practice exams. I’ve been using a Sybex book.

[@ZeroDegreeTech]

I have never read those books but Jason’s material was very helpful for sure!

[@catman8623]

Congrats on passing!

[@yevheniididkovskyi1922]

Hey good job man on your efforts you really inspire me in taking my network plus exam

[@ZeroDegreeTech]

Happy to hear that! You will Kill it!

[@gusbarnesiii8210]

Good stuff. Congrats on your victory buddy. I passed my test a few months ago I wish I went off of this game plan for a higher score. Going line by line of exam objectives is solid advice. I mostly went off of udemy videos

[@ZeroDegreeTech]

Congrats!!

[@KenSherman]

It's okay that you have overkill methods to pass the exam to increase your odds of passing, especially if you pass the 1st time. Tests shouldn't (just) be about memorization skills anyway. It should include to be about understanding the concepts and practical knowledge. Congrats on passing! You still completed it in a relatively quick amount of time. So your time was invested wisely. Especially if you did 49 hours a week or 7 hours daily - that's impressive!

[@ZeroDegreeTech]

That’s how I like to think of it too. I would rather understand it well than get the cert and still feel fuzzy on topics. It’s especially important because networking is basically going to be my base on which I build more specialized knowledge on.

[@theexpatteacher8255]

congratulations, I just started my network+ journey

[@ZeroDegreeTech]

Let me know how it goes!

[@VEGANWARRIOR]

Great breakdown. Dion training is my primary. With cross referencing with Messer and MikeMeyers

[@ZeroDegreeTech]

Yes!

[@pissgoblin850]

Lets go Tyler!

[@AlexKerwood]

Love it 👏

[@ZeroDegreeTech]

Thank you! I am hoping to make it to an open gym shortly. I miss the whole crew

[@michaelfrietsch8246]

good stuff man hey even if it took a little longer it gives more time for things to set in and to really understand the material. Congrats

[@ZeroDegreeTech]

Absolutely!

[@jacek1983polska]

i just started my preperation to network+ thanks for your video

[@ZeroDegreeTech]

I am very very glad to hear that, you will do awesome! Don’t let anything discourage you!

[@ZERO_TO_IT_HERO]

Congrats!

[@jameylang4369]

Great video!! I can personally relate so much to it! Can you please share the method on how you exactly studied the Exam Cram book and how you managed to remember all of it.

[@ZeroDegreeTech]

Yes of course!

[@gilbaso8270]

Hey, did dions pbqs help prepare you for the actual exams pbqs? Congrats btw

[@ZeroDegreeTech]

Yeah, they are worth doing for sure. The focus is definitely more on multiple choice but there will likely be a few pbqs:)

[@Dane_Riazer]

You're giving me Loki Vibes (from Marvel Universe) , I know its off topic! Good Job with Passing! I take it next Monday

[@ZeroDegreeTech]

Thank you!! Good luck on Monday, you will kill it (just remember those port numbers ;) ) keep me posted on how it goes!

[@Dane_Riazer]

@@ZeroDegreeTech ahhh those ports, and MANY they are... lolol, I will keep you posted for sure! 🙌🏾

[@Otown16]

Nice thanks for your info big help i am slow pacing on taking this exam

[@ZeroDegreeTech]

You got it! There is no shame in taking your time!

[@justinwhitaker8481]

On the practice questions can you take them more than once? Ive never used udemy before

[@ZeroDegreeTech]

Yes you can!

[@jakepayne2985]

Hey dude! I’m in the same boat you were in. My Network+ is coming up in about 2 weeks, and I’m going in with NO PRIOR KNOWLEDGE OR EXPERIENCE. I’ve made it thru all of Messer’s videos, and wrote out all the material in question/answer form to study. It’s working, but very time consuming. I have about 35 of the 92 sections down. Anyway, I’m also working on the common ports/tcp or udp crap, Ethernet standards, etc. Memorizing all that. How much subnet mask/Binary stuff was on yours? I’m saving all that for last. And, do they allow you time before the test starts to write out your conversion charts from memory? Or do you have to use your 90 min test time to do so? Thanks again for the video buddy

[@ZeroDegreeTech]

Sorry I just saw this man, how did it go??

[@jakepayne2985]

@@ZeroDegreeTech hey man, it’s this Friday! Question, for the subnetting/finding network and broadcast addresses- any method will do right right? Magic #, 7 second, it doesn’t matter as long as I get the answers right? They won’t say “Using Magic # only, find blah blah”? Also, do they give you time to write your charts from memory or do you have to do it DURING the exam time? Thanks for responding duuuuuuuude!!

[@jakepayne2985]

@@ZeroDegreeTech Ultimately, I passed first try.

[@ZeroDegreeTech]

@@jakepayne2985 yes! Huge congrats man

[@WavesAreBlu]

Why nobody talks about the pbqs

[@ZeroDegreeTech]

They represent a small part of the exam and test on the same material as the multiple choice, it won’t make you learn commands or anything either so as long as you know the exam objects you should be ok

[@TRE4RAISEDME]

What sources did you use for hands on labs

[@ZeroDegreeTech]

Strangely enough, I did not do hands on labs for this exam.

[@TRE4RAISEDME]

@@ZeroDegreeTech how did you land a job if you don’t have hands on skills?

[@ZeroDegreeTech]

@TRE4RAISEDME it was an entry level help desk job at an ISP and they liked my willingness to learn

[@TRE4RAISEDME]

@@ZeroDegreeTech have you gotten any new certs and are you still at the same job

[@ZeroDegreeTech]

@TRE4RAISEDME I am a cloud operations engineer currently and have the following certs: Net+, CCNA, AWS Cloud Practitioner, AWS Solutions Architect Associate, Certified Kubernetes Administrator and am working towards my certified Kubernetes Security Specialist now!

[@ytl7750]

Did you use any dumps?

[@ZeroDegreeTech]

Absolutely not

[@alanl9497]

What are dumps?

[@m3rky240]

Thanks for being so transparent with the info man your amazing 🫡

[@ZeroDegreeTech]

Of course! I know I am not the only one in this position so I think it’s really important to show the journey!
