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.

22. Assigning a unique frequency band to each communication






23. Virture privat network






24. 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.
