Who has taken the network+ exam yet?

How hard was it, how much was time was spend on the subjects? Where there anything not ordinary that I should know. Sorry, But i'm taking this exma in 2-3 months and i wanna do this right. I got my A+ now I want my Network+ , then i can finish out with the Microsoft MCSA.

Really nervous, as with all tests, as this is my life andI need this to excel

If anyone cn help, I would be most grateful.

Thanks,

SHADOWHAXOR

Earlier in the year I took a 75 question sample of it.

What stands out the most to me was the quantity of questions relating to coax cabling. Lengths and troubleshooting steps were common. (I wasn't really expecting much on this since I consider it outdated technology).

Then a couple were on SNMP and relating MIBs.

One or two on token ring troubleshooting.

Several on UTP and CAT3/5.

That's all I remember. I will actually take this test at the end of January while in Chicago.

DVNT1,
Where did you happen to take the test at? Any links to sites where we could get some sample tests?

At http://www.measureup.com It was part of a job interview and they paid for a test, not sure if there are free ones there or not.

The results of the paid test also went to the company who paid for the tests.

I took it around the beginning of the year. It wasn't too bad. It's probably a good intro to any of the more intense network certifications. The Sybex book has a cd with sample questions, but they didn't read in the same way as the test questions.

I passed the exam today,and contrary to what alot of the prep materials say,you must score at least 84% for a passing mark.Unlike A+,where 68% percent got you certified(before going adaptive).
The Network+ also goes adaptive in '02.
I used the Michael Myers All-In-One Exam Guide for the most part.I also used Sybex's Network+ Exam Notes and found it was useful.
The only questions I didnt expect covered PKI and the drag 'n drop style format on a few questions was sort of strange,but for the most part it was what I expected.

Question....does having both A+ and Network+ allow you to bypass one of the MCSE Core exams? That's what a fellow student told me, not sure if that's accurate or not...
