About this test
Each attempt draws a fresh set: numerical questions are generated with new numbers every time, and options are shuffled. To retake exactly the same paper, or to give a friend the same set, note the test code shown on the result and type it in before starting. You can switch negative marking off for a relaxed practice round. All of this runs in your browser; your answers for the ADCA practice test aren't sent anywhere.
ADCA syllabi differ between institutes; some include DTP, programming in C or web design. These questions cover the core that almost every course includes.
