The Internet exam tips

Exam tips

• Link each term to its function

  When explaining Internet terminology, state what the item is and what it does. For example, identify a router as a device and then explain that it forwards packets between networks.

  This avoids giving a label-only definition and demonstrates understanding of how the components work together.

• Link each security measure to its purpose

  When explaining a firewall, encryption method or malware mitigation, state both what it does and the security problem it addresses.

  This makes the answer precise and shows understanding rather than simply listing security terms.
