Subject : it-skills
Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.

19. Best fault tolerance






20. An international body that establishes communications and networking standards - and that is particularly known for its contributions to network protocol standards.






21. A service provided with Windows 98 - Me - 2000 - and 32-bit versions of XP operating systems that allows one computer - the ICS host - to share its Internet connection with other computers on the same network.






22. Unshielded twisted pair






23. Four twisted wire pairs with three twists per foot. This type can handle transmissions up to 16 MHz. Now limited to telecommunication equipment

27. Which protocol provides the user with many functions of the world wide web?






28. The act of hacking into a hacker's system to find out as much as possible about the hacker






29. Internet group management protocol






30. A common way of sharing resources on a peer-to-peer network






31. The sender transmits the data to the destination without establishment of a connection.






32. Which layer is responsible for putting data into frames as well as providing error checking data?






33. The cabling or radio waves used to connect one network computer to another - or one network to another - and transport data between them. - Means by which a communications signal is carried from one system to another (for example - twisted-pair wire
