| I passed Server+ yesterday. It was the toughest CompTIA exam I've had yet.
Infinitely so!!! I would compare it with the Microsoft TCP/IP. I have worked
with SCSI and Server technologies since LM, Artisoft2, NW2, etc. Before
that, I was a mainframe mechanic. So I've worked with ICR (aka clustering),
S100 (fore runner of SCSI) bussed technologies, I have implemented RAID in
the 0, 1, and 5 levels. I've built hundreds of servers.
Looking back, there were a few questions, that I changed, that I wish I
hadn't. Also, I don't feel that any material I used would have adequately
prepared me for a good grade. It was a genuine thinking exam, and very
experienced based. Oh well, on to XP, another day another Windows.

the same thing as you. One tough test.

| Mike,
Congratulations, and thanks for the feedback, it's nice to know there are
exams that make you think, and not just memorize the answers.
Cheers,
Jose

| Not a lot, I have done all these in the last six months, for much the same
reason as you, a lot of experience but nothing that says I really know what
I am doing I am going for MCSE and Server + in the next few weeks then I
will relax for a while and admire the wallpaper. I also have a contract
renewal coming up in about 18 months that will be tough and I anticipate I
will be up against people a lot younger with Certification, so I thought,
why not do it myself. As to earnings, if you want to discuss in private ?
but the Certs won't change anything, might help me keep a job though
