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

      What book?

        @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.

                                        Best thing to practice when troubleshooting network issues is to step through each layer from Physical > Application.

                                            I'll admit, I have to constantly remind myself to do that IRL. That, and to always look for the simple things first.
