In three previous installments covering this topic, we walked through the first parts of a self-test review based on the CompTIA Network+ (N10-006) certification exam. We looked first at 22 questions about topics beneath the Network Architecture domain, then turned to 20 questions on Network Operations, and then 24 questions on Troubleshooting.

To complete our review journey, this time around we continue to mirror the actual weighting of the CompTIA exam with 34 questions combining the Network Security and Industry Standards, Practices and Network Theory domains.

The answers follow at the end of the questions. Good luck!
