The 2-Week Cybersecurity Experiment: Can You Really Pass Network+ in 14 Days?
A Social Experiment
Network+ is one of the toughest entry-level certs for a reason. It demands consistency and real effort, and that’s exactly where most people fall short.
They fail because they study with no pressure, no deadline, just endless “I’ll get to it.”
Studying without urgency feels productive, but here’s the truth:
Without pressure, most people never finish.
We didn’t think many would sign up when we posted it on TikTok. The idea of passing Network+ in two weeks sounded crazy, at least that’s what most people said.
Then over 100 people messaged us within two days, asking to prove it wrong.
So we turned it into something bigger, a live social experiment. Real students, real deadlines, and real results at the end of two intense weeks.

Hyper-Accelerated Network+ Speedrun: Here’s What’s Actually Happening
Instead of choosing one person, three students from our community have been selected into a social experiment.
This isn’t a “take your time” study plan.
It’s 14 days of controlled pressure, the exact opposite of how most people study. It is where you test your limits, find your rhythm, and see what you’re truly capable of.
Here’s exactly how it will work:
Full Intake Profiling
We’re logging every participant’s real-life situation. Job schedule, background, previous IT experience. You’ll see exactly what they were working with.Baseline “Before” Score
Each student will take the same full-length Network+ practice test before studying. This sets a public benchmark.
14-Day Network+ Sprint
They will follow a compressed study plan using the same AI tools and lecture system from the Zero to Hoodie Cybersecurity Bootcamp.Real Exam. No Extensions
After 14 days, they will sit for the actual Network+ certification, not just another practice test.
Full Transparency: Pass or Fail, Everything Gets Published
Scores, final outcomes, and even how close they were to passing will be published publicly. No hiding. No edits.
This is more than a study challenge.
It is a test to prove one thing: either focused pressure creates results faster than slow studying, or most people simply cannot handle intensity.
Why This Matters (Especially If You’ve Been “Studying” for Months)
Thousands of people say they’re studying for certs.
Very few move with urgency.
This experiment forces a hard question:
If you remove hesitation and distractions, how fast could you actually pass?
Most people don’t fail because they’re incapable.
They fail because they stretch a 2-week study plan into a 6-month marathon and lose momentum along the way.
This challenge is designed to break that pattern and shift your perspective on what focused execution really looks like.
