How to EASILY PASS NETWORK+ Certification Exam in LESS than 5 WEEKS, Study Resources and TIPS 

Hey man I took your advice and passed the exam yesterday. Thanks for the good tips.

Congrats man! I got my A+, Sec+, Google Cybersecurity, and isc2 CC, but think I wanna get the Net+ also. Thanks for this tips! My journey is gonna start soon!

Just started on my Net+ a few days ago after passing the A+ exams. Going to add this video to my list of recommended resources. Thanks, mate!

Im 37 and I feel like ive wasted my life up to this point. Im an ex convict with criminal offenses that started when I was 15 years old and I put that life behind me over 10 years ago but my employment has been sporadic. just want to feel like my life has some purpose and I want to try to learn something useful to hopefully get me on track to a career,. I appreciate the tips you gave in this video.

up to 7hrs a day??? damn, thats some dedication son

If anyone is interested in network engineering, after getting net + you can further expand your knowledge/resume with CCNA, CCNP etc. Net + is your gateway to the field.

Yup used messer and dion courses. Watched them both all the way through and it definitely helped. Took the practice exams too.

Here king, you dropped this 👑

In person is just in a testing room at a school/facility with a proctor. People in the room are testing on a variety of subjects. I prefer this because I, personally, have too many distractions for the Online/at home option. No kids but I have a husband, 2 barking dogs

I’ve been studying on my own for it, from the main book (CompTIA network + book). I’m a totally newbie trying to get in the field, so the info was daunting. I plan on taking the exam approx 1 month from now, so I really hope these video courses get me there. Trying to grasp some of these concepts from a book alone suuuucks

Funny thing is the ports. I had to remember those all over again with AWS.

Great video man, straight to the point with what we needed to know and learn. Thank you!

Subbed. Just started studying for Net+ a week ago! I'm trying to carve a path to Cyber Security!

I just passed my net+ Took your advice and just used dion training videos and practice questions

Just bought all the material you recommended. For the Professor Messer and Jason Dion courses, did you do them concurrently or all of 1 then all of the other? And did you have to go through the courses more than once? Really appreciate the tips and congratulations.

Thanks for the tips! I'm hoping to get my Network+ this month.

Passed my Net+ on my first try following your tips. Thanks!

Hey, great video. Did you ever get around to taking your sec+? I don't see any videos about it on your channel but it would be great to hear your thoughts on the process much like in this vid if you did end up taking it. Cheers.

Hey , thanks for the advice , what camera are you using the quality is really nice !

I’m starting a new career path and this was hopeful. Thank you sir

just studying for two weeks now and running... definitely need the flashcards.. so many abbreviations. good times. thanks for sharing.

They give you two weeks to pass these exams in the military. Five weeks should be more than doable. Thats one week for every section of the exam but I highly recommend studying for two sections per week and the remaining weeks reviewing. For PBQ's definitely save them for the end if you can't answer them quickly. I typically would spend some time answering some of the PBQs partially during the first ten minutes of the exam, and the saving the harder PBQ for the end. That way I dont feel too much pressure when circling back to the PBQ's as they would be at least partially finished.

This question may be an odd one, but was there anything on the COMPTIA exam objectives that you did not encounter much of on the exam? I ask because on the A+ I did not encounter a lot of certain materials that had been emphasized in Professor Messor's videos as well as the objectives.

Hey, I know it's been a while since you posted this, but wondering-- what was your workflow like for studying? did you watch Messer and then go and watch Dion's videos on the same topics? Or did you really only use Dion for the practice questions? How many topics did you cover a day?

Hey Tim, great video and thanks for the advice. I have two CompTIA net 006 and the 008. One of them came with a dvd guide from Mike Myers. My question is on the test, did they have anything like Netsim or packet tracer? Please let me know, I’ve been studying and watching videos. I’ve been in the IT field for 5 years now. A friend of mine just failed the test for a second time and he’s taking the CompTIA course through his college. Any and all advice would be great

Hey Timothy i appreciate the video and good emphasis on the performance based question

Good morning from Indonesia. Hello best friend. I really like your content. SUCH AN AWESOME TIPS. It's really impressive. Thank you for sharing a very good, interesting and inspiring video for all of us. Hopefully we can all be better, healthier, stronger, successful, happier and always under God's protection

The more you cycle the information from your brain the easier it is to pass. Don't get intermediated is the best advice i can give.

Very good advice ! In addition to Messer and Dion, I also like Sybex products.

I will let you know of the outcome after the exam, thanks Tim.

Hey Timothy, You're making the most sense to me been looking at starting a new career path with a stronger income. I already have a couple certs in the medical field... but tech is sounding like the way to go. Which certs do you recommend for an entry level position in IT? I'm between this one and itle right now. Do you currently work remote or on site?

Hey Tim Thanks for the tips I’m really trying to reach my goal which is Passing my A+ and getting my Certification to go for Cyber security

I've been working in IT for almost 2 years (help desk support - second company pays significantly better salary) and passed my Net+ the first try with only 5 days of studying.

Thank you for explaining performance Bsse questions Tim.

Howzit Timothy, thanks for the video. I’m currently studying towards the N+ and I want to write maybe by the beginning of May.

I'm currently studying to sit my Network+ exam. I got my Comptia A+ last year, but Network+ looks much harder. I think I really need to learn IP addressing and subnetting more, because I find that the hardest - numbers make my head hurt. Quick question, what sort of IT job did you get into? And what is the salary like? Though I am studying this IT certification, I am unsure if I want to actually move into IT if it doesn't pay as much as I'm earning now.

Thanks bro. I bought the book so I am going to give it a try.

This is some great info. Thank you!

I'm studying for the Net+ right now and I've been going through Jason Dion's Udemy course but I wonder if you took your own notes along with Jason Dion or Professor Messer's notes.

Hey man thanks for the information. Just wanted to ask if this is a good certification to add to your resume when you have been newly employed as a SOC analyst or there are other cert which would be more helpful to me?

Hi, so was wondering if watching all the videos and notes you recommend would help a person that have little knowledge in the field pass the test or should i take a 5 day boot camp? Thanks

honestly me saving pbq’s till the end screwed me. i didnt get to answer a single one. and if i did i prob would have passed. got a 680 without answering any of the like 4 pbq’s

did my a plus exam with the professor messer videos and the dion practice tests. i hope i can just rinse and repeat, the net plus videos are really dry so im just gonna jump the gun and start the practice tests

Great Vid! Question: I plan on taking the Net+.. Is Jason Dion's information going to be relevant to the most recent Net+ exam? It looks like JD's prep is for(N10-006) the most recent is (N10-008) Would it still be helpful to me now?

1. A guy I met at my HS reunion told me he currently works in IT and he sent me the link to Messer's playlist. Should I watch all his videos before I view other study resources or should I find other study guide topics such as notes related to the particular video I just watched? 2. I hardly have any background or experience with IT. I worked as a sound technician for a couple of weeks but was unfortunately let go. Many of these IT companies require a lot of experience so would having the certificate alone be enough to apply for It positions or are employers looking for other elements to add to that certificate? I did watch Messer's video on how to get a job in IT without experience and he brought up certain volunteer work but I think that would be hard to find. 3. Where is the link for the online exam?

Thanks man. I have the exam in 2 days and was a bit worried

Timothy may I ask what was the style of exam is it more on multiple choices or mixed of multiple choices and hands on?

Chatgpt is pretty helpful as well

Hi Tim…thanks for sharing your experience…. Has it been easier for you to get jobs after completing the course?

Hey man I know this is a long shot if you see this but I am trying to start in IT industry and wanted to start with A+ for some one who has little to none knowledge for anything it would you have any tips to start of. What do you think I should tackle first? Jason dion comptia a+ course on udemy first?

did you take SEC+ bro? Looking forward to video on it and how the two tests compare. Thanks for the insight.

Thanks for the information my brother.

I planned on using professor messers notes as well as his videos. do you recommend doing one before the other?

Great video, this was great insight.

You said you studied for 4-7 hours a day, 5 days a week for 5-6 weeks. That’s at minimum 100 hours. You think I’ll be okay if I just study for one hour a day every day (including weekends)? I want to make it a habit

How much are u making with the new job and net+ on your resume? How helpful has the net+ been since passing?

Some people recommend skipping the A+ and just going for the Net+ because it saves time/money and most employers view the Net+ as equal to if not better than the A+. Is that true and would it be a good idea? I don’t have any certs or a degree and don’t know where I should start. Thanks man

Hey mate, thanks for your tips, I joined a platform called learning people, i am from engineering background so i found it hard to get into networking, I just realised i have should started from A+, to be more familiar with Networking +, I hope i pass from the first attempt, are you from IT background ?

Did you take notes yourself on any of the courses or did you just use professor Messrs notes? Studying rn but not sure If I should try to write it all down or just soak it in by watching first.

Thank you for your insite. I will be doing it in 2 months.

Hey boss, want to thank you for the advice and was wondering what jobs I should be looking for? I just recently got my degree in IT and am working on certifications.

Hello :) What is you opinion on CompTIA A+? I have no IT knoledge, but would like to take a start up course and wondering if to start from A+ or NETWORK+. Thank you :)

did you use cisco labs when you were studying

I have to work fulltime so I could not pass it in 5 weeks. I studied in my spare time for 4 months and just barley passed today. 5 weeks if you are unemployed maybe.

Thoughts on taking the exam in-person vs online?

I passed Network+ in a month.

Failed the first two attempts. Been studying for networks for about 4 months and hoping I can pass on my 3rd attempt. Been using as many resources as I can

Jason Dions Video course is decent, it gives you all the information you need to pass, but the hardest part I have with his material is 'it's easy to get bored' just watching him talk and watching slides. However, I really really like the study notes he provides in each of his courses. It references as a nice cheatsheet of information. The Mike Meyers Course on Udemy is better in terms of "Keeping your attention" but it provides crappy notes, doesn't label each video to the objective # for reference, and provides slightly less overall information than Jason Dions material. I really liked Andrew Ramdayals material because he provides a study cheat sheet, straight to the point in teaching, explains how it works in the IT field, and does the hands on approach. I passed my Core 1 and Core 2 A+ by using 85% of his material (15% from other sources) on top of using Practice tests from Jason Dion and ExamCompass. To my disappointment, Andrew Ramdayal has not made a Network+ N10-008 Course. So now I'm trying to mix and match Jason Dion and Mike Meyers Video Courses as a Combo, I may also use Professor Messor as an extra because I know he's pretty solid if you need to know a specific topic. I thought about CBT Nuggets because they have Practice Labs in their course Training package.

I know you didn't cover it in the video, but have you ever used examtopics to study? If you did what did you think of it/how helpful was it

Would you recommend the A+ course prior to Network+?

Thank you for the tips!

Thanks for sharing.

Tim, what's the cheapest way to buy this exam? Thx !

Hey bro, so did you actually write any notes or just use PM notes? And you just memorised everything?

Hi, did you take the Security +exam? If so how was it please? And did you negotiate your salary?

Hi, Congratulations!!!!! Can you share your flashcards?

How much time do you typically spend on one area/topic ?

Presently....I am just a beginner. How to maintain notes...should i write notes while watching professor messer videos or buy his notes and revise after watching it

I already watched the Professer Messer Videos, might pay for the Jason Dion practice exams so I don't have to spend another $100 on the retake version of the test.

After completing Google IT Support Certificate, is that enough prior knowledge to study for Network+ certification and give the exam after prep? On the CompTIA and Coursera, it says that Google's IT support certificate and A+ are closely aligned.

When you studied did you break things up into sections or did you just go straight through ?

I’ve got my test in 3 days praying 😅

I had 5 PBQs… and scored a 710 my first attempt. Painful is an understatement.

Congrats man. could you possibly link the Udemy courses?

Do you recommend going straight for the Network+ Or is A+ mandatory to get beforehand?

Did you split up the videos like watching professor Messer 2 hours then Jason 1 hour?

Have u found a Job? I’m A+ and Security+ and nothing yet. About to knock out network + at the end of month.

hekko my name is Reggie I want to know what is the most important questions on the exams of Network +

This might be a dumb question but how do you know which ports to memorize?

Are there any resources for the practical questions ?

What chair is that? Looks comfortable.

How did you get your hands on skills

Hey Tim! Thanks for the informative video👍

Nice man! Have you found a job in the field?b

@timothyNeubert It's been a year since your exam, Were you able to get a job solely based on this cert? Thank you

How do they keep track of you if you do it online? Like do they have a lockdown browser etc?

Do you need an aptitude for this type of career or if you do an in-house hands-on course can you bethought how to become a networker?

Hey bud I skipped A+ and Network+ because i felt landing a job is better at Sec+. for the past 3months my practice passing exams avg about %40-60 passing grade. and ive deemed sec+ is slightly too heavy for me to understand. Do you think Network+ cert alone can land me a job as an beginner IT if a start there? im trying to land a entry remote job. A+ feels like its to work at a computer store. Thanks in advance

I have a comp sci degree, and still looking for job, idk if i should skip A+ and just try studying for network+ idk what do u think?

Is it even worth to get network+ certified instead of ccna?
