Howdy all,
for the past month plus, i've been studying for the Net+ exam.
I took a 5 night course from New Horizons which really was not much more than a brush over of various items in the book. Soon as that course finished I took the A+ courses back to back - 10 more nights. (long story, they went bankrupt, this was my only way to get the training) Then my month plus studying began on the network plus. I want to take the net plus first since they just changed the A+ not too long ago and the Net+ has been a while.
I then read their book cover to cover, and took their practice test (it changes somewhat from test taking to test taking). Until i was about 86%. Thinking I had this nailed, I then went and tried a free test - 70 questions and got about a 65. Feeling immediately like i just studied for the way the book had it, i read in here, and went and purchased PrepLogic's exam test program & Cram Session's Network+ guide.
Took some preplogic test and was scoring in the 60's, went and read through the study guide as well as another short one i found online. Took a test and got high 80's. took practice test 2 or 3 - back to the 60's.
I'm getting pretty discouraged, maybe its because my only time to study is for 2 hrs a night after i get out of work, but it just doesnt seem to be clicking.
And to think i work in this field.
Any words of wisdom, I tried the webpage with 11 or so practice tests that wont let you go on until you click the right answer. And now i seem to be almost memorizing PrepLogic's tests - and i really dont want that. And I really can't afford to spend more $ here and there to get more of this or that to try and pass this test.
Thank you
