 Tip for calculating subnetting-everyone needs to know
Here's a tip I wish I had remembered on my last test! Use the built-in Windows calculator in scientific mode--it is available during testing. Click on the "Dec" button and enter a decimal number (eg. 240) then click on the "Bin" button and Voila! (240 has been converted to 11110000)

 Yup
Microsoft does give you the calculator on each test. But be warned If you are going for a Cisco cert later and expecting the calculator it won't be there.  I found that one out the hard way. Best bet on subnetting is to pull down Freaks Subnetting guide and memorize the table. That way even without the calculator you can figure it out.
hope this helps

Or look at any CCNA guide as this will define the same tables.

Click on the above for an easy to memorize handy chart you can use to solve any subnetting problem. Write it down on the provided scratch sheet before you begin your next exam, and you'll be able to solve any subnetting question you face in only a fraction of the time.
Work some practice problems with it and see why I call it the Magic Chart. I guarantee you will too! It truly is subnetting made easy!!!
