Setup I passed the MS-700 Teams Administrator Associate exam yesterday. I spent roughly 6 weeks studying for the certification over evenings and weekends to supplement 2 years of helpdesk experience.
Overall, I found the exam to be difficult, but not necessarily “tricky”, which is a big relief. I have no problem with rigorous exams, as long as the test writers aren’t injecting artificial difficulty via obfuscated wording and gotcha edge cases.
Setup I started on the CompTIA trifecta in mid 2022, got the A+ (220-1101 & 220-1102) in February 2023, Net+ (N10-008) in Sept 2023, and Sec+ (SY0-701) in April, 2024. I used a mixture of study resources for the exams, but relied heavily on Professor Messer’s great practice exams, YouTube lessons, study sessions, and Discord channel.
This is a review of the Net+ exam material, with a focus on the CompTIA objectives that are most applicable to actual helpdesk tickets (IMO).
