You can do it! I studied and passed all 4 exams last Feb-May. While working full time and being a father of 3. I was sooo burnt out from the constant studying and test taking. But it landed me a promotion and 20K more.. not everyone's situation is the same. But it can be done! I watched all prof messiers videos at work, in the car, at my daughters dance practice everywhere. Then i spammed all of jason dion's practice tests over and over a over again until i got all 90's. then the last few days leading up to my exams. I just binged all of pro messiers stduy group videos
Vet to tech as well brother. Full time job, school, and a dad of two babies. Im planning on taking the first part of A+ by March. Thank you for all the info. Hooah lol
I scored the same as you, just passed it two days ago! Thanks for the advice. Now onto Sec+, just watched your video on passing that in two weeks, which is my goal! (2 1/2 really)
As a guy who studied the Network+ for more than3 months, actively, and has a job in the IT field before sitting the exam - It is horrible advise to study the network+ in less than a month. I also did the A+ and passed it the first time. The network+ is not an easy exam, especially for the performance based questions. Take your time and study well. These exams are expensive.
This, this, and this. Cannot stress this enough. It is important to actually understand the content in the Net Plus not just to pass the test, but to actually learn the content because its concepts are foundational to any serious IT job. You can sure get your foot in the door with the cert, but if you can't explain subnetting during the interview you might as well not have had it.
Great video! I just want to express my gratitude for the link to Digital University. It just saved me $$$ for Mike Myers Udemy courses (Network+ & Security+). So happy I found your video!!
Awesome mate! Great content im in helpdesk at the moment im currently 18 years of age and are doing level 1.5-2 tech support a lot of azure, active directory, PIM and more. I am going to get my NET+, SEC+, Linux+ and then CySA+. Hopefully I set my self up, god bless you.
That's great! Seems like you are setting yourself up to be successful, the most critical skill in IT is keeping up to date with technology and improving your skills and knowledge which can be done by continually completing certifications! No doubt you will be successful if you follow that path.
So I work in it and just an fyi if you get your a+ and it expires you can then get your network+ and it will renew it. Don’t waste your money and abuse this. Same works with network+ and it expires you can can then get security + and it renews the others
Hi brother, Good you passed the Net-008 test. I failed it and I am sure the performance questions got me. I think I had the test with only 60 or 70 questions wich somehow makes it harder to pass. Can you recommend a web link for me to study PBQ questions only? Thanks in advance
Great advice bro. Honestly I do feel I have followed similar steps and still haven't felt ready to go write. The gravest sin a person already working an IT job is assuming it all ends there and they don't need to get certs. I already got a job no certs but always feel unsure so I want to go write it.
Me personally I don't go back and change answers or review once I move on. The reason I don't is because I may already have the right answer but if I flag it and go back I might second guess myself and put the wrong answer. I did this during A+ and passed both first try.
I mostly don't change my answers when going back through unless I had gained information or remembered things throughout the exam. For example if I flag 20 questions I will maybe only end up changing 3 or 5.
@josh7518 I just started Jason Dion Net+ course on today he has a total of 28 sections plus the practice exam at the end of his course, and just recently finished professor messer Network plus videos.

Hi there, big fan of your videos. I’m following a similar path just finished the A+ and now looking at the Google IT Support Professional Cert. Just curious how did you find Googles course after completing the A+, and how long roughly did it take you? Thanks for the awesome content!
Thanks! It took me about 2 months to complete as I didn’t make it a priority. It definitely filled in some knowledge gaps after obtaining the A+ and even further cemented some of the more fundamental concepts like networking, hardware, etc. I would recommend it, as I think it helped me overall.
That's to many. One thing that stuck with me from a video short was that, the reason people fail these exams is because they drag out the time frame that they should be trying to take these. It took me 1 year at best, but it was probably 8 months realistically.
Bro, 2 weeks, get the fk out of here. The test has a 65-70% fail rate on the first attempt. I work a fulltime job, school and I'm getting married in June. I had to study for 4 months to barley pass. I should make a realistic video about this. LOL!
I don't understand how could he memorize all the acronyms from watching the videos/podcasts once on 2.5x. Either he's exaggerating or is a superhuman lol.
I'd say 4 months, at least, and counting with experience, is a way healthier advice. Only subnetting takes a couple of weeks, come on 😅. Don't really understand what these videos are trying to prove...
From personal experience and what many others that recently passed said, Jason's Practice Questions are slightly harder than the actual exam. If you pass his practice exams with a 80 or above you should be ready for the CompTIA.
Learn the answers to the test but don't know how to do anything? Do you know how to covert an IP to binary and in conjunction with the net mask and get the network ID? Do you know how to use the CLI to configure a switch board and divide a network into multiple networks by splitting your bandwidth? Sounds like you only got theoretical knowledge for the paper but no usable information to put it to practice. This is why I stopped using Coursera and most other platforms. I paid for compTIA Learn platform that is giving me hands on labs as well as in depth explanations of how things work and leverage chatGPT to explain things further. You're the example of the IT guy who doesn't know anything but got certified. I know that's probably not true, but your language in this video suggests I'm close to the mark.

Good job!
Thank You for this. I'm a Father of 3 also. Very encouraging, but how do I find Jason Dion's practice test?

The most stressful part of the exam is that they have you complete a survey before they show you your grade 😅😂
Exactly! My heart beat spikes while answering them lol

You have to take the test before it expires for it to renew. If you miss the deadline you have to take the test all over again
I'm no-life-ing these certifications

I will be having 2 months free cause of summer so i want go get as much certifications as possible 😤😤
with the videos did you take notes or did you just watch the videos ?
Did you take notes while watching the vids???

Currently studying for the Network +.
How's it going? I'm studying for net+ right now too

Did he say 2.5 times speed? LOL!
Anyone else try speeding up this vid as a trial run?
Hi there, big fan of your videos. I’m following a similar path just finished the A+ and now looking at the Google IT Support Professional Cert.
Just curious how did you find Googles course after completing the A+, and how long roughly did it take you?

Sooooooooooooo you learn all those acronyms and what the dns does in two weeks? Two weeks ? Idk man Idk
How? I've been working on mine for 5 years
5 years?!! How many attempts have you taken
That's to many. One thing that stuck with me from a video short was that, the reason people fail these exams is because they drag out the time frame that they should be trying to take these. It took me 1 year at best, but it was probably 8 months realistically.
i think you're right@@marioozuna2168
I've done 6. 1st time I do t think counts. The testing one stuck me with 007 when I studied for 006
Bro, 2 weeks, get the fk out of here. The test has a 65-70% fail rate on the first attempt. I work a fulltime job, school and I'm getting married in June. I had to study for 4 months to barley pass. I should make a realistic video about this. LOL!

For now that’s the plan, specifically cloud security.
@@VetToTech Do you plan to take any linux certs?
@@MHb789 I don’t plan on it. With most of the learnings paths/certs I am completing, Linux is a part of them.
Congratulations. Did you supplement with anything to learn subnetting?
I finally got subnetting down with a random utube video If you want it lmk
@@RobdoodleYes, that would be great
@@Robdoodleplease let me know what video you watched.

Creatine and soy protein.
Was there much subnetting on the Net+ exam you took?
Honestly less than I expected but make sure you learn how to.
That will very likely be a question during interviews. Learn it.
how similar are jason dions questions to the actual exam
From personal experience and what many others that recently passed said, Jason's Practice Questions are slightly harder than the actual exam. If you pass his practice exams with a 80 or above you should be ready for the CompTIA.
Pretty solid tbh. I scored 90s% on all dions practice tests and have passed all exams so far first try.
