what to transfer onto paper for ccent?

chickenlicken09

For anyone that has passed the ccent, did you write down anything in the exam to help you memorise?
e.g port numbers etc just so if the question came up you would have it straight away. Anything else that would come in useful?

Thanks

I'm still studying for my CCENT, but although I can do subnetting fairly quickly, I find it much quicker when I create a table before going thru the problems. I've pretty much memorized all the combos of class C nets, but not for class A or B so charts help me get thru the math for those.

When I take my CCENT, I plan to write something similar on the white board they give me prior to starting.

Reviewed my notes till I was board.. Study exam topics ... Played around with practice test. Then re did all book questions. By the time I took the test, I thought it was the easiest thing in the world. Didn't get a perfect score, but a solid pass.

and also writing down 128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1 magic number
128 192 224 240 248 252 254 255


and the 2^2 .....through 2^12

couldn't get chart to line up

It was discussed on here and apparently you aren't allowed to write anything before the first question (i.e. during the survey portion). I was going to make a quick subnetting chart, but once the first question came up, it was a multiple choice that I knew the answer to and I just started answering the questions and never really got around to making the chart. I passed with a ~914. I did all my subnetting on my fingers (count off 128, 192, 224, 240, 248, 252, 254, 255 for netmask and 128, 64, 32, 16, 8, 4, 2, 1 for increment) or from memory (.0, .240, .252, and .255)

That's correct, before you enter the exam room you agree to the terms that you won't write anything down prior to the exam starting. It is written on the form you sign when you report to the testing centre.

After the first question, I quickly wrote down the masks and the 128 -> 1 bit values for increments but found that i didn't need them, nor the two pages i was given and as such didnt bother to use them...
