    CIN Sneak Peek: Network+ N10-009

    I've passed Net+ four times myself. My current one expires in 2028, so I'll probably sit this one out.

    701 content question (answer for exam or job interview)

    None of the above. All five are processes. None are algorithms AES is an algorithm. ECC is an algorithm.

    WHERE IS THE IT INDUSTRY GOING?

    AI will do a lot of the repetitive, time-consuming grunt work like all automation, but that will free up humans for more "high value" work.

    Cloud+ beta, february 2024

    Just read the exam objectives and independently research the topics until you feel comfortable answering questions. Beta exams are always a roll of the dice.

    Good point. I have more than 20 years of experience. How much does the average Master's Degree graduate have?

    Additional Resources

    I stopped recommending Dion, Messer, and Udemy. I had a free subscription to Udemy at a previous company, and I canceled my account because I couldn't find any quality content. Dion posts CompTIA questions of the day on LinkedIn. It's frustrating how many times he has incorrect answers or...

    Cloud+ beta, february 2024

    I took the Cloud+ beta on Monday. I had 119 questions with three PBQs. I agree that the PBQs were......well, let's just say I wouldn't use any of them when the exam goes live. I also found questions that had rather egregious grammatical errors, and I commented on them. I could really tell...

    Networking Concepts in Security+

    I don't think of it as draconian. I see it as setting the student up for success. To succeed in tech, particularly in cybersecurity, they need to have a broad technical foundation and a deep specialized knowledge. Far too many people want to cut corners and skip the foundational knowledge and...

    Networking Concepts in Security+

    I see two challenges: 1) Training companies need to drive students into classes by any means necessary. Often, that means exaggerating how much they can make or what certs they should attempt. This has got to stop. Sales and marketing must have honest conversations with students to let them...

    Networking Concepts in Security+

    Training and higher education aren't guaranteed to anyone. They could buy some inexpensive exam prep books online and pass the exams. I've seen far too many people on Reddit bragging about passing the trifecta with zero experience simply by memorizing the information in Professer Messer's free...
