The ICT section is comparatively new and small, which makes the return on time spent here high. The subject sounds technical, but the questions stay at a practical level.
The six areas questions come from
| Area | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Computer fundamentals | Generations, parts, input and output |
| Number systems | Binary, octal and hexadecimal conversion |
| Software | System versus application software |
| Networking | Topologies, LAN and WAN, transmission media |
| The internet | Protocols, domains, email |
| Cyber security | Viruses, phishing, digital signatures |
Number systems — the one part you must practise
Almost everything in ICT is read and retained; only number-system conversion has to be done by hand. Decimal to binary, binary to hexadecimal — working each conversion at least ten times yourself saves real minutes in the hall.
The questions here repeat their shape closely, so working the past papers is enough to make the pattern obvious.
Holding on to the terminology
ICT is dense with acronyms, and a large share of questions asks for their expansion and function. Build one list with the full form and a one-line explanation beside each — that list is what you will lean on in the final days.
- Draw the network topologies rather than memorising their names.
- Pair every protocol name with the job it does.
- Learn the attack types with an example each.
What to do if time is short
- Practise number-system conversion — these are dependable marks.
- Build the acronym list and revisit it often.
- Condense networking and internet basics onto one page.
- Work the past ICT questions as a separate set.

Frequently asked questions
It is not; it is one of the most bounded parts of the preliminary. The questions stay practical and do not demand deep technical knowledge.
You should not, because questions from it are close to guaranteed and a little practice brings it fully under control.
The class 11–12 ICT textbook is a sufficient base; add the past papers and the section is covered.
