Don't know if I should post this here or not, but I am having a problem. I cannot decide whether to go for the Net+ first or the I-Net+. I have been reading the post here and on the Net+ forum and it seems that maybe the Net+ is easier. Or am I missing something?

Either way, I won't be ready for either before CompTIA raises its' prices again. Up to $199.00 US after the first of Feb.! Where will it end? Before long you will have to take out a loan to get one cert!

But I have rambled too long. Any help with this quandry would be appreciated.

Depends on what you want the most, I-Net is more about the Internet and Net+ is more about basic networking.

Okay, that is what I am asking. Which one would be better to get first? Would it be better to get the Net+ and then later get the I-Net, or the other way around?

The A+ I just got today will help on my resume, but I really want to beef it up more. So which of these has more beef??

Net+ is more popular, but as to beefing it up your going to need more than MCP,A+,Server+ etc. Go get an MCSE or CCNP.

I cant answer the question about which one is easier cause I dont know waht you enjoy and what you already know.

if you want to know about logical order, it would be network+ then i-net+ .. the i-net+ includes basic networking all of which is covered in net+, and then adds more "internet-centric" topics, like web/ftp/irc/email .. very simplistic web design concepts, some copyright stuff .. but which one you should take first i dont know .. but that seems to be the logical order .. good luck ..

I found the Network+ test quite a bit more difficult then the i-Net+ exam. The i-Net* exam was probrobly the easiest test I have taken. As for which one to take first, I would suggest the Network+ test. It is alot more recognized then the i-Net+ test, not to mention it would place you 3/4 of the way to a MCSA if you ever decide you want to go the watered down Microsoft route.

Go for Net+ first because it will cover a lot of the ground you need for the i-Net+, which is a good follow-up test. I did them in this sequence. Also, if you are looking for prep-tests, you could try Exam Drill, with both tests bundled quite cheap. Go to www.alphaexams.com and check out the demo. (I used these for the exams and they were excellent.)

Thanks for all the feedback. I thought about this last night, and compared both exams. I think I would have to agree, Net+ is probably the way to go first, then I-Net+. And maybe I will check into the MCSA thing too. And thanks to prometric for the exam prep tips.
