Exam Day 100-105 subnet chart ?

Daughterofrnbsoul

Hey guys I was wondering if I had enough time on exam day before taking the test to write out my multiples of 16, 8, 4
for mask of 240,248,252. That way I can subnet very fast , do they let me write on the board before exam ?or after the exam starts ? I feel as though I am at a disadvantage because of my math skills, so if I write out all the multiples of 16, 8 , 4
before exam start that should give me the list of subnets I need without having to keep incrementing by that value,
example:


4,8,12,16,20,24,28,32,36,40,44,48,52,56,60,64,68,72,76,80,84,88,92,96,100,104,108,112,116,120,124, 128,132,136,140,144,148,152,156,160,164,168,172,176,180,184,188,192,196


8,16,24,32,40,48,56,64,72,80,88,96,104,112,120,128,136,144,152,160,168,176,184,192


Am I able to write out all those subnet ID's for the mask of 248 and 252 before exam time ^___^ ? Ip subnet zero I skip sinse that's easy.

Not sure if they let you BEFORE the exam. I've never asked. But the exam is 90 minutes long and only 45-55 questions. You will have time to write it down right when the exam starts if they don't let you do it before, it should only take you a minute or two.

Well there is a small tutorial that you can go through so I don't see why you can't write whatever you want down before finishing it. I don't think that's against the rules or anything.

by the time i took the ccent exam, i think i could write out all the subnet tables in a few seconds.

No, you don't get to write on the "board" before the exam starts.

Like mentioned above there is a short tutorial at the beginning of the exam to show you the kind of questions, etc.
It is just like what is out on cisco's website. So, if you have taken the tutorial already, you can do other things.

Use the tutorial time to acclimate to the space they give you,
verify that everything working for you, monitor, keyboard, mouse. do some pointing and clicking.
verify that the "pen" and "board" are working. ask for 2 "pens" and 2 "boards". be sure the "pens" have caps.
don't want to take the cap off the pen at the start of the test and then an hour into the exam find out it has "dried" out.
write stuff down and erase it.
you'll have several minutes to write down subnetting info.

I only used 3 lines of info
128 192 224 240 248 252 254 255
128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1
/25 /26 /27 /28 /29 /30 /31 /32
and with a little practice, I could write it all down with the columns lining up.
I'm good at math and I found writing it down very helpful. Even if it was just a quick double check of what I figured it out to be.

practice writing your subnet info down on paper a few times. That way you'll have a good idea on how to format the information so you can quickly find what you are looking for.

take written down info with you to the test center. Write the info out a few times before sitting for the exam. You want to make sure your doing it right and have it fresh in your mind.
