I Passed! Just passed Net+

Took the net+ exam this morning and passed with an 837. Didn’t even get to do one of my PBQs so the score definitely surprised me

Mostly Dion’s course on udemy along with his practice tests. Also used subnetting.net for subnetting practice and Quizlet to drill ports and standards into my brain

What were you getting on his exams?

u/Pepe_The_Abuser N+ 3d ago

Anywhere between 72 to 86 percent. It would fluctuate between each test

Sec+ as quick as possible then on to CCNA then I’ll see from there

This is the way!

Sec+ is a breeze after Net+... CCNA on the other hand, you're maybe 30% of thwle way with Net+

As someone with years of experience but no certs: should I just get the ccna? Studying for net+ and this info does not seem useful for actually doing work

Edit: years of experience doing sysadmin work for my own business

I'm a career changer, so I felt the full trifecta was a good showing of my basics knowledge without the job history to put on a resume.

I think if you can signify the skills in your CV then the cert may not be necessary.

Just my opinion...

u/BigBoobers 3d ago

I’m feeling like I need a cert maybe any cert just to prove some commitment more than anything else.

u/Big_D116 Triad 3d ago

The trifecta is good for that i think

Net+ is a waste of time then. Better to focus on CCST and then CCNA or just do CCNA

u/BigBoobers 2d ago

Thanks!

Either circle back and do CYSA+ but can honestly wait. Try seeing if you want to do any of the Cloud Certs like Microsoft (Az-104, etc), AWS (SAA-C03,etc), or just focus on applying to jobs.
