What the quiz checks
These questions appear again and again in computer-awareness sections of placement tests, bank and government exams and school or college papers: who designed the first general-purpose mechanical computer, converting 10 to binary (1010), the hex digit F (15), hardware versus software, where cache memory sits, which generation used transistors, ROM versus RAM, compilers versus interpreters, bits in a byte, what the ALU does, system versus application software, the fastest storage (CPU registers), what booting means, GUI and what a modem does. Fifteen right answers show 15 / 15.
Building real understanding
Memorising answers works for one test; understanding lasts. A few habits help:
- Practise conversions: write the numbers 0 to 16 in binary and hexadecimal by hand once.
- Picture the memory pyramid: registers, cache, RAM, SSD and hard disk, fastest and smallest at the top.
- Open Task Manager or Activity Monitor and see CPU, memory and disk use for yourself.
- Install a program and run a script to feel the difference between compiled and interpreted code.
For an exam-style timed paper on office tools and the internet, take the CCC exam practice test, and convert numbers with the number system converter.
If you miss a question, look up the topic in your textbook and write one line about it in your own words.
