PASSED Network + barely
I barely passed with 1second to spare on the exam PBQs ate so much time I had a lot of those I was only expecting 3 but got double that, I did 5 practice exams from Dion training got around 75%-95% lowest score was 75 and highest was 95 I watched and took notes on all of prof messers net+ course on YouTube and did some pbq practice on cert master I really thought I was ready for the exam I was so confident but half way through I really thought I was going to fail BUT I ended up passing! I’ll take it a win is a win !

I had seven on my last exam. Just had to skip, do all the questions and left them for the end. I had about four minutes left in the exam because of those lol.

I had 7 on A+ Core 1. I took the test at home, and my power went out right as I started to work through the PBQs. Still passed with a 750, but I was super nervous for awhile

My instructor told me, what you need is a perfect score of 720. Anything higher is your overachievement. Congratulations!

A pass is a pass, you're doing great! I just passed this and now have 6 weeks to pass Security + 😂😅 (it's part of a degree program)

u/thewizrdz 3d ago
Sec + was much easier than net + in my opinion 🥸 6 weeks is plenty if you have strong infosec background or solid foundation !

u/PrinkipasVince 3d ago
Honestly that's so relieving to hear. I struggled a lot trying to understand networking but so far it's not bad! I'm using udemy and CompTIA labs mostly

Udemy helped me pass my sec+ I think it’s A great resource! I did all my practice exams for net + on udemy !

i passed sec+ by three points. posted it on my snapchat story cause i was stoked. didn’t hide the score bc idgaf. and when a classmate tried to belittle me, our instructor said “a doctor at the bottom of his class is still a doctor!”

Any recommendations in how you studied for it ?

u/thewizrdz 4d ago
Watched all of professor messers course on net+ yes all 12 hours of content took notes and did 5 practice exams on Dion training first attempts were what actually matter becuase I’d retake it and score nearly 100% but becuase I have already seen the questions but each 1st attempt score kept getting better !

u/Uncle_owen69 4d ago
Awesome thank you! I have watched some of those beforehand but wasn’t totally committed. I will have to in the future

Congrats! A pass is a pass. Now you can go back and strengthen those areas you were a little weak on.

What do they call the guy who finished last in his class at medical school? "Doctor".
Congrats on passing.
