Computer Input/Output, Hardware and Software Quiz

Computer Input, Output, Hardware and Software are probably the most basic…most widely and frequently read chapters – why? Because they come in the beginning of any computer information book, that’s why!

I myself have always managed to read these three chapters over and over again, even though I’ve never read a book till its very end…sometimes even left it half way through!

But the importance of these chapters cannot be undermined; you are sure to get a question or two from these chapters

in every exam that has questions on computer. These days even SSC sneaks in questions on computer!

I hope you all are doing your revisions and practices or even studies rigorously; IBPS PO maybe over, but SBI Associates (which I consider as the backdoor entrance into SBI!) and IBPS Clerical are still there.

Which brings us back to computers and you should be prepared to get those 5-6 marks in your kitty for sure.

So, instead of boring you with theory – lets learn/revise/test ourselves and see where we stand via a quiz!

There you go guys, this is the banking level – even in IBPS PO, where the level of all other sections was high and tough, computer, which was a separate section, was average.

Same can be expected for the upcoming bank exams as well, where there is no separate Computer section.

Plan, Prepare and Present should be your mantra…we are less than two months away from the official end of 2014’s bank exam season, let’s end it with a ‘happy bang’!

Have a good day.
