IEEE 802.3

Is it necessary to know the individual subcategories of this standard, ex. 802.3z or 802.3u? Will the exam get that detailed?

The exam objectives, as well as my media & topologies TechNotes: www.techexams.net/technotes/networkplus/mediatopo.shtml show the ones you need to know about at the very least.

I didn't run into any questions that specific for any wired technology, but it doesn't mean you won't. I did for wireless. The books I read specifically pointed out 802.2, 3, 5 and 11 a/b/g. Know your cables specifications well.
