3 Questions

I have passed the A+, Network+, 70-210 and am taking the 70-215 next week. I took the practice exam questions offered by cert21. There were only 6 but I scored a 100.

Question 1:
Since I have studied and passed these other exams, this looks like it may not be too difficult. Am I correct in assuming this?

Question 2:
Does anyone know a good site for Server+ practice exams so I can test to see if it is as close as I think?

Question 3:
Does anyone know the cost of this exam?

Any information will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

to the first question, no its not that hard, but make sure you really know raid/scsi/ and storage area networks, and just in case, back up methods .. go to cramsession.com and read the cramsession, read the exam notes on this site as well, take the skilldrill at cramsession, and its 190$ USD .. good luck ..

Thanks for the info. I will definately check it out. I really appreciate the input!!! Things are looking pretty rough in the job market. Need all the help I can get, and certs don't hurt either. Thanks again.

1) Know the info as stated by Neuralfx. However, I found the exam to be one of the more challenging CompTIA exams.

2)www.vnpublishing.com has a good Server+ practice exam. Not free, but I believe it was less than $20.

3)The CompTIA exam I believe is $195, but the knowledge gained makes the price well worth it.

First I want to thank darthw for the info. I will definately be studying more now.

Explaination:
Well, I decided I would give it a shot. I sat the test today. So long $190. I scored a 73%. Needed 75%. Oops.
I guess the most important thing I learned here is don't schedule any tests until you study for them. It was close, but no cigar. I won't be doing that again. This test is definately one to study for. I had questions on SCSI compatibility, server room environment, RAID is a biggie, know your disaster recovery methods inside and out. These are just a few off the top of my head. I will definately study hard before attempting this one again.

Just wanted to pass the info on. This one is not to be taken lightly.

Sorry to hear about the failure. However, 73% isn't so bad if you really didn't do any studying for it. Looks like you should just need to study a short while.

As I recall I passed with a score in the high 70's. I, too, took it in a bit of a rush, as I had been sitting on it too long. However, I read three books, took the vnpublishing exams, and relied on some, at the time, minimal real-world experience. Still I found it tricky.

I bet you'll do fine next time.
