Last info I heard was that it was roughly 1/3 subnetting, 1/3 STP and 
1/3 broad overview of everything else.

The BSCI on the otherhand was 50% EIGRP (which annoys me to no ends) 25% 
OSPF/RIP/BGP/fleeting swipe at IS-IS, and 25% misc other things like 
subnetting and IPv6.  Ie, if you don't study EIGRP thinking that there 
couldn't possibly be many EIGRP questions on a modern test you'd end up 
flunking.
