I scored a 61% on my baseline, which was more or less what I expected but I felt a lot better about using one of these tests as a baseline since I had 5 more to go and I knew that it would be helpful to see what the test would be like so that I could narrow down areas of need. It does specify on those questions how that would show up on the exam, however. The PBQs were included in these practice exams this time but modified to be multiple choice. This one had 6 practice exams instead of just 2 as his A+ practice exams did.

Once I was somewhat (emphasis on somewhat) comfortable with the concepts above and had reviewed the flashcards once, I bought the Dion Udemy practice exams and took the first one as a baseline.

Copper and fiber types, categories, and connectors.

Steps to convert a mac address to an EUI-64 1Pv6 address.

A running list of new or challenging acronyms (I did not write down the ones that were already ingrained into my brain from A+).

Binary math, hexadecimal conversion, and 7-second subnetting info.

A diagram I made of all the covered services and ports.

I also wrote down important tables, diagrams, and concepts in a notebook that I would review in conjunction with the flashcards.

This was helpful at finding patterns but it made studying with the flashcards a bit more slow-going and tedious than if they were regular memorization of definition flashcards. I found this to be more helpful than just making traditional flashcards with definitions since this forced me to think more big picture when it comes to the concept and I would have to explain largely how it works or recall all the related terms or connected concepts. To save time I ended up copying and pasting all of the bulleted text under each concept in his notes I wanted to review so it was a quick way to make the notes.

After watching all of the Professor Messer videos, I went over his course notes (which I bought from his website) and made flashcards using Anki of all the concepts that I felt I didnРІР‚в„ўt know 100% well and needed more review.

It breaks it down into easy-to-understand chunks and provides lots of practice examples and some curveballs you may see on the test.

For the 7-second subnetting section, I personally found that MesserРІР‚в„ўs video didnРІР‚в„ўt click with me so I used Practical NetworkingРІР‚в„ўs РІР‚СљSubnetting MasteryРІР‚Сњ playlist and I cannot recommend it enough.

For example, I stopped and made sure I understood subnetting and binary math before moving on to the next part since that part was alien to me at first.

Watched all of the Messer videos, only stopping to take notes on the areas that were brand new or challenging.

HereРІР‚в„ўs an overview of my preparation for the Net+: I followed a very similar plan to my last study plan for the A+, you can read about it in detail here.

I ended up losing about a weekРІР‚в„ўs worth of studying time but I managed to pass it with a 754. I passed both CompTIA A+ cores earlier this summer and gave myself exactly 3 weeks to take the Net+ but I was worried as soon as I saw the notes that I may need more time.
