Analysis of a Study Plan for Network+ Certification Without Anki

The poster is preparing for the Network+ certification using Professor Messer’s video playlist, dedicating 2–4 hours daily to watch 2–3 videos while taking detailed notes and self-quizzing with AI tools like Gemini and ExamCompass. They plan to begin Dion practice exams by mid-July and aim to take the test around July 25th. Their study approach involves reviewing material in batches of 10 videos with cumulative quizzes. Concerns include not using Anki or Quizlet, the difficulty of Dion exams, time management strategies, the depth of protocol memorization required, and whether flashcards are necessary. The poster’s goal is to answer multiple-choice questions in 40–50 seconds to allocate sufficient time for Performance-Based Questions (PBQs).
