I've primarily used Study.com's TECEP Network Technology: Study Guide & Test Prep.

I'm not sure if it's my imagination, but the scope of the course seems far too broad. I am having a lot of trouble remembering everything. I had similar trouble remembering things for the Medical Terminology exam (I did pass with ~80% in the end), but I'm more nervous about this because the test is more expensive -- the most expensive test I've taken so far.

Anyway, I'm wondering if there are any tips? I read through some of the previous posts for studying, but I didn't see much. I'm also wondering if Study.com's test prep is sufficient?

There were many things in the test that I didn't come across through my studies. I took the prep course for the exam at Study.com and spent two months on it. I don't think it helped much and I also completed the Google IT Support Certificate. Along with all the other IT courses I've done since I started.

It's the last exam I have to take, but if I don't pass, I may end up trying to finish the linear algebra course which I'm not sure I can do without some tutoring. I cannot quite get what I need from the book and an internet search doesn't quite get you where you need to be. The course material that Coopersmith offers is skeletal at best.

So, I might look for another course or just take two courses at TESU. I'll get financial aid that way as a part-time student. I think in some cases you can get financial aid for just three credits, but I'm not sure how it works.

You don't need CMP-354. You can take the Linear Algebra course at Coopersmith, but it's hard too and I gave up really quickly. The text is hard to follow and doesn't help much. They materials they provide are skeleton at best.

I'm thinking about taking the six credits, but I'm waiting. Will try to get a job and just use the TESU transcript as a credit bank. Or I might do BS in Technical Studies with certificate in computer science. Really not sure what I'm going to do.

geteit, what did you use to study? What's your background?

I'm taking this TECEP sometime soon also and have so far largely used the Study.com courses, the provided sample quizzes, and there is also some Quizlets that appear to be all the vocabulary.
