TCP/IP Quiz

Back to exams page.

Here is a typical TCP/IP quiz you would have to pass for helpdesk or networking junior roles. If you apply through a recruitment agent a link would appear on your screen via email with a timer and you would have around 30 minutes to pass and be expected to score at least 85% (34/40).

If you don't do too well then please check out our CompTIA Network+ course which will get you up to scratch in no time. If you want to try out 101 CompTIA Network+ labs then please check out our book on Amazon.
