I would like to know the difficulty of this test and what study materials are good. I have started watching the Professor Messor free Network+ videos. There are about 15 hours of video total.
I know a lot about networking as I have been in IT for 18 years with the last 15 as a software developer and database administrator with small companies so I had to be a jack of all trades. I have Microsoft MCDBA and MCSD certifications. Is this a test a could pass just based on my experience?
Thanks

You will probably do fine. Go back in time and learn the difference between thinnet and thicknet. Try to learn something about novell ipx/spx and how it relates to the OSI model. If you had an MCSE in NT 4 like I do, I would say go take it cold. You might want to study for and take the Network+ test prior to taking this one.
I did because it was required for WGU's MS IA for a time and I thought it would be a good refresher.
The test asks some questions about OSI, subnetting, and some other typical network topics but the info is all 15 years old.
