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.

15. A loop that repeats instructions until - or while - a condition is met eg - Repeat / Until X > 0






16. How well your program operates without stopping due to design faults






17. How easy is the program to use? This is one way to evaluate a program.
