Network+ N10-006 or N10-007

---

I see you guys are recording an Accelerated N10-006 for Network+, but I also see that new books and material are coming out for N10-007 from a lot of publishers between Feb 2018 - May 2018 and beyond as well I'm sure. If I want to take my N10-007 in Late Spring/Early Summer and haven't invested in books for N10-006 yet, would you suggest waiting for N10-007 books (coming soon) and N10-007 videos from you guys and others? How long do you think the N10-006 test will be available to take from CompTIA since it's almost been 3 years since the N10-006 test was released and do you guys know when you'll start filming for the upcoming N10-007?

Hey Jeffrey,

Great question, we have recorded the N10-007 shows already! We will release them on the CompTIA release date when they make that information publicly available. When it comes to the your question on when will 006 retire, and what set of objectives should you invest your time, I would consider the follow:

• Based on your current knowledge of the N10-006 objectives, how long do you think it will take you to prepared for the exam?
  • If you have a couple of months left to study, you will most likely have time to take the N10-006 series of objectives. CompTIA usually retires a "legacy" exam six months after the introduction of a new exam series.
  • If you believe it will be six or more months before you plan on taking your exam then I would focus on the new exam series (in this case the N10-007)

Keep in mind that you can use any existing N10-006 material to start training now, even if you are going to take N10-007 because the material will still be relevant and usually discounted as publishers will start to flush out old material in preparation for the new exam. I can help you find material if you need help with that.

I hope this helps and please, if have additional questions, do not hesitate to ask.

I already have the Wiley Sybex N10-006 book from Todd Lammle. I was thinking of getting the Mike Meyers https://www.amazon.com/CompTIA-Network-Guide-Sixth-N10-006-ebook/dp/B00VMMRAWG/ref=pd_sim_351_1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=QPADAHE2YVW8HXSV22TQ && Exam Cram N10-006 https://www.amazon.com/CompTIA-Network-N10-006-Exam-Cram-ebook/dp/B00Y16PF22/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1516287143&sr=1-1&keywords=n10-006+exam+cram that come with it's Pearson tests in addition to study with. Between those 3 books, ITPro.TV with all it's transcender tests and lab resources and pluralsight with it's path and resources, I figured that'd probably get me through it pretty solidly. Anything else you think would be more beneficial than that? I'm planning on taking the N10-006 in June/July as long as it's still offered.
