      Recently I've bounced a few emails back and forth with our one and only @scottalanmiller ... well its been a couple of weeks... but it got me curious. How hard is the net+ exam? I got bored and answered about ten practice questions and got 100%... yeah we can't base my knowledge off of 10 questions... but is this an exam I should really knuckle down and study for? Or do y'all think after two years of professional IT experience I could just go full tilt and take the exam next week without a problem?

        I didn't find it hard at all. Matter of fact, it felt like I took the A+ all over again. If you study for it and pass, the Security+ exam is even easier to manage.

          Super easy. I got a book, read for four hours one afternoon. Passed the next day.

              @RAM. The Exam Cram. I took the test the week that it first released. Don't think that that book even exists now.

                For me I always used Sybex CompTIA books. It's actually Wiley now I believe.

                    Not a hard test and all good info to know. Be sure to learn the OSI model backwards and forwards.

                            It's assuming a numbered list, and if you're starting one, why would you start with 7? So smart it's dumb.

                              The top of the OSI model is 7, and the bottom is 1, I don't know who designed it.

                                Because the stack starts at the bottom to crest, and the top to strip.

                                  The OSI model is one of the most important things that I ever learned in IT. Incredibly useful, even for people who are not doing network work very often.

                                    Knowing and really groking the OSI really helped my career.

                                            Never learned a trick for it. Once you understand what it does it's not to hard to remember.
