I've got subnetting down fairly well. The only thing I really have trouble with is efficiently assigning them without being too wasteful.
For example:
If I've got to subnet an IP down into 2 subnetworks with 6 hosts, and 1 subnetwork with 10 hosts, I usually have trouble and answer the problem wrong.
What is a good way to practice this?

Cisco subnetting curriculum is like 85% IPv4 and 15% IPv6. I don't even think I know how to subnet IPv6.

That graphic irks me, Class C addresses are only submittable at the 4th octet, changing the third is changing to another network

Classful adressing is gone since over two decades and was replaced with CIDR (classless interdomain routing). Any instructors who keep implying that network classes still matter rather than having a purely historical context should kill themselves.
192.168.0.0/16 is the third private address block, and you can use it in whatever way you like, be it a single /16 network, or 32768 /31 networks (yes, a /31 netmask exists, and should be used for point-to-point links in place of /30 whenever possible as at doesn't waste half the address space).

Subnetting ipv6 is way easier.

IPv6 hasn't been widely implemented for decades, and meming edgy 20-year-olds aren't going to change that either. Anybody who's sane isn't going to give up manageable IPv4 in favor of the clusterfuck that is IPv6.

Subnetting IPv4 is very easy unless you're a moron who can't memorize a hadful powers of 2, grasp a simple concept, and a method to apply it.

so? the green and blue are class C (cidr >= 24)
the red host is "class b" and its nodes are two different networks, nothing wrong there
>>57880017
is a /31 for broadcast networks with no collision detection? I can't see the point of having a single host address on a network otherwise...
>>57877224
Two /29s and a /28. How is that hard?

Reread anon's post dipshit. It's for point to point networks. Vendors implement it in such a way that each host inherently knows there is only one other host on the network.
