I'm taking the ICND1 exam on Friday (Jan 3rd). I can do subneting in my head, for the most part, and going over practice tests and official Cisco flash cards. Any last minute advice before the test?

Make sure you do some last min labbing. Go over all your show commands. Know what each one does, what they're used for, & how they differentiate between each other (show interfaces status vs show interfaces vs show ip interfaces brief for example). Know all the output for all the commands.
And take a few mins to take the Cisco Exam tutorial featured on their site. It'll get you more comfortable w/ the layout of the actual exam UI.
Good luck!!Goals for 2018:

I can't speak to the content on the exam but as someone mentioned before, be sure you are familiar with the commands in their original format
i.e.
Instead of "wr" you will most likely be required to use "copy running-config startup-config"
Instead of "sh run", you will most likely have to type it all out "show running-config"
show ip interface brief
show ip protocols
show interface F0/1 bla bla
Good luck!Modularity and Design Simplicity:
Think of the 2:00 a.m. test—if you were awakened in the
middle of the night because of a network problem and had to figure out the
traffic flows in your network while you were half asleep, could you do it? -

I don't have any great advice. I think labbing is probably better then last minute memorization.
Good Luck! -

I second that. It gets me too nervous doing that. Trying to cram something in my head that I couldn't get in there in the first place... not good. -

Blessings rembot! Speaking of objectives. I looked at them last night, and I can't figure out what they mean by "Upstream routing" (Objective 4.8b).

Hope this helps...Quote from Odom's Official Cert Guide 100-101, pg 390:
"Finally, for those of you paying close attention to the exam topics, note that the subtopics
about inter-VLAN routing and ROAS mention “upstream routing.” This topic refers to a basic
concept: The router that uses ROAS might only need to route between those subnets off the
VLAN trunk, but more than likely, the router will also need to route packets to other subnets
in other parts of the enterprise network. This “upstream routing” topic simply reminds us to not
forget about the need to configure other router interfaces, static routes, a routing protocol, and
so on, so that the router can forward packets to other “upstream” destinations."
