Time-Saving Tricks for Subnetting by Practical Networking - My CCNA Studies 10 days Left

With my exam in ten days I have to brush up on my subnetting skills. I will be doing this every day till exam day.  If you are looking for ways to learn subnetting check out the links and video below by Practical Networking. I highly recommend you watch all of the Subnetting Mastery videos and website. If you have done subnetting before and just need a refresher check the video I included below.  The video provides great quick tips.

 By far these are the best videos on subnetting. I think being able to do subnetting quickly is a must know for the CCNA exam.  I have seen at least one or two questions within the Boson ExSim practice exams that require subnetting knowledge.

The links below are directed to their blog, website and YouTube videos on subnetting.  If you want to practice check out subnetipv4.com.  It has a clean and simple to use  tool that populates random CIDR notation to practice from.  In there one has to figure out the Network ID, Broadcast ID and if stuck it can populate the answers.  

Now I got to practice to get fast and better at subnetting.

Quick Study Update – 12 Days to Go!

My exam is in just twelve days, so I wanted to give you a quick update on how my studies are going. Since my last post, I’ve been making steady progress, but there’s still a lot of ground to cover.

Lately, I’ve been focusing on reviewing the topics I’m less confident in. I’m using Anki flashcards daily to reinforce those concepts and plan to go through Boson ExSim exams B and C soon. I recently retook Boson Exam A and scored much better, though I’ve identified a few areas that still need work.

One big takeaway from my practice exams: read the questions carefully. It’s easy to rush through and make quick selections without fully thinking things through—something I’ve been guilty of. Taking an extra moment can really make a difference in choosing the best answer.

Also, I wanted to share a helpful resource on Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol. If you haven’t already checked out Jeremy’s IT Lab on YouTube, I highly recommend it. He offers tons of free videos that cover all the CCNA topics. If you’re looking for a solid, free online trainer, this is a great option.

I’d love to go into more detail about what I’ve been learning, but I’ve got to get back to the flashcards and keep grinding. The next time I post, it’ll be after the exam.

Exam day: November 19th.

Till next time—wish me luck!
