Strong assumption it'd be self-diagnosed... the heck?

Sec+ was kinda doable for me (passed with 84% a month ago) but only because its a topic that actually interests me. Networking, especially subnetting, however has been an achilles heel of mine for 20+ years though...

I wouldn't know how/where to evem start if it wasn't for some pretty amazing youtube tutors (looking at you, Professor Messer^^). Reading is a nightmare but watching videos and doing practice questions/exams kinda works for me... I basically:

  • watch the whoöe topic once
  • do all the comptia practice questions
  • identify the areas where I drop under 80% success
  • watch those (and more) videos again
  • rinse & repeat until the last week
  • switch to practice exams for the last week
  • hope for the best

I'll only know by the end of next week if this works out, though...

I'm currently studying for a network certification: 540 pages where I alread know like 70% of the content but am missing some specific (and important) details. Having to go through all of this without loosing focus and thus missing those details is... challenging, to say the least.
