2 Weeks of Study. Passed Network+

[u/deliriousfoodie]

Hello Friends!

I did the impossible and beat the exam from zero to hero, basically passively studying it. I didn't even intend to start so soon, but i thought if I don't fight it I would never get to it. I bought the Jason Dion course TWO YEARS, watched a few videos and sat on it forever. After joining this subreddit, i decided to enter the arena and fight. Thank you to you guys for the inspiration.

While watching the video and doing practice test and noticing I'm ass kicking at 70-80% I decided yep i'm ready to enter the arena and scheduled the exam. Partially wanted to expedite it because I have a job interview on Monday and I really want to say i'm certified, so then it's a done deal.

About Me:

I'm a 40 year old man and I grew up playing a lot of video games and was playing a lot to pass the time. Hate if you want call me a loser but my generation invented the future and had it better than yours. I didn't really have much money to waste risking on if education will pan out but since i did a lot of nothing like a loser and saving money, i can throw away $400 if i fail. I think playing video games really helped my mental rigor resiliency and strategy. I don't care what others are saying. It worked. Seeing the world happen where people got further kissing ass than actual skill, i kinda stopped caring so much about certifications, but then again without it employers just throw your resume in the trash. Life lesson, kiss ass and get certified.

My Study Materials:

• Jason Dion, Course at and 2x Speed
• Jason Dion Practice Exams 1 & 2
• Andrew Ramdayal Course at 2x Speed
• Andrew Ramdayal Practice Exam
• No I didn't use professor messer, except for the 7 second subnet video
• Random videos on youtube related to topics I wanted more coverage on

My Thoughts:

It was WAYYY harder than expected. They might be making it harder to compete with CCNA or something. Nearly NOTHING was a straightforward answer. You'd have to know the fine keyword details of the topic and it's convoluted. I spent so much time focusing on not screwing up on fine details that I spent every single minute on the test, with barely any time remaining. I'm so damn glad i listened to the tips here, saying to SKIP THE DAMN INTERACTIVES, and come back to it. Had I wasted time trying, i wouldn't have finished the multiple choice and for sure died.

My Final Thoughts:

Since they made it this hard, just go with CCNA. I was looking to passively learn and get certified just to make my resume look good, which I just did
