What Do I Need to Study for the 100-101?

I have been studying a lot lately. Watching the CBTnugget videos and practicing on Boson NetSim. I can subnet pretty well at this point and much quick than I used to. I can log into a switch, do basic configuration, setup the access lines, configure VLANs.

I read a thread earlier and someone wrote something along the lines of, "just learn to subnet, know your vlans, know w,x,y,z and your good to go". I can't find that post anymore though.

Any suggestions?

Other than CBTnuggets, what other sources did you use? Any books?

Do you have any networking experience? Any certs?

Did you do any router config?

I have some experience with punchdowns, cabling, patch panels. I am A+ certified and recently got my Network+ certified. Due to passing the Network+ I had a lot of overlap between that and the 100-101 so that helped me a lot. I think Boson NetSim has been helping me a lot also. I feel like I am progressing but not quite there.

I got the Cisco CCENT/CCNA Official Cert Guide by Wendell Odom. I haven't really read it but I feel really comfortable with the materials through the videos and and NetSim.

I just need a brief description of what to know. I know subnetting is on the test and vlans. If there was a practice test I could have a better idea of where I can focus.

I posted a link to the exam objectives. That is a perfect brief list of what to know.
