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.
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?
hey im taking the ICND1 on Jan03,too! I hoped to take it sometime in Dec 2013..But got busy with stuff,and haven't finish reading Odom's book (now i finished it and watched CBTNuggets vids,and practiced labs in Packet Tracer) so pushed on my original plan of January. Now no turning back and nervous as hell lol. Goodluck to the both of us!
You can do it man! Sounds like you have a solid plan, keep it up! You can go to Cisco website and print the current exam objectives, read over them! Good Luck!

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."

Good Luck Buddy. Im personally taking mine in February. Been studying all break, on and off. Main thing I've yet to get to is ACLS, but ill cover that within the next week with my reading of Todd Lammle. Good Luck once again!
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).
Hey TechnoRacer! So how was it? How did yours go? Thankfully, I managed to pass it,but just barely. The passing grade was 801 and i was just 841 lol. Anyway,a pass is still a pass and Im just glad that i conqured it. My first ever cert

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.
