Q1. A user wants to add more RAM to a laptop that supports user-serviceable memory. Which module type would a technician expect to install?

A. UDIMM full-size
B. RIMM
C. SODIMM
D. DIMM

Show answer & explanation

✓ Answer: C. SODIMM

Laptops use the compact SODIMM (Small Outline Dual In-line Memory Module) form factor because of limited internal space. Full-size DIMMs and UDIMMs are desktop/server parts that will not physically fit a laptop socket.

Q2. A technician needs to terminate a Cat6 cable using the T568B wiring standard. Which pin is used for the orange/white wire?

A. Pin 1
B. Pin 2
C. Pin 3
D. Pin 4

Show answer & explanation

✓ Answer: A. Pin 1

In T568B, pin 1 is orange/white, pin 2 is orange, pin 3 is green/white, and pin 6 is green. Confusing T568A and T568B pinouts is a common exam trap since T568A puts green/white on pin 1 instead.

Q3. A technician wants to prevent a specific application from ever launching for any user on a shared Windows 11 Pro workstation, enforced at the OS policy level. Which tool should they configure?

A. Local Group Policy Editor (AppLocker or Software Restriction Policies)
B. Windows Defender Firewall
C. Task Scheduler
D. Credential Manager

Show answer & explanation

✓ Answer: A. Local Group Policy Editor (AppLocker or Software Restriction Policies)

Local Group Policy Editor's AppLocker or Software Restriction Policies can block specific executables from running for all users on the machine. Windows Defender Firewall controls network traffic, not application execution, Task Scheduler automates tasks, and Credential Manager stores saved passwords and certificates.
