Can you do subnetting on Class A and B networks?

I wouldn't stress out about it. ICND1 is an extremely easy test. The subnetting questions are not as difficult as people make it seem.

yeah i can but not as fast as class c addresses, should this be a problem for the icnd1 exam?

I'd say you need to be confident with subnetting all classes before going into the exam. I cannot give you specifics since that'll break the agreement with Cisco - but you need to know the ranges and such. Really, subnetting class A and B addresses really isn't that hard. go to subnettingquestions.com - Free Subnetting Questions and Answers Randomly Generated Online practice practice practice! I hope this helps.

yeah, been praticising all my show commands (show running-config, show interfaces, show ip protocols, show ip interface brief, show controllers) and been creating labs in packet tracer, configuring static routes, rip version1 and 2, using telnet and ssh, etc so feel that i have done enough lab work

yes, this test is cisco 101 in terms of the commands. The subnetting is just learning to count in binary which is what computer do anyway so this is fundamental for anything IT. This is the Cisco 101 test and should also serve as a litnus test and barometer for your interest in this field because Cisco doesn't just cut deep, it gashes you thru and thru.
