Sample EPC/EPSA ICT 645 Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the EPC/EPSA ICT 645 exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1Which set of devices is commonly used at home for communication and entertainment?
A.Television, radio, mobile phone, tablet
B.Multimedia projector, photocopier, joystick
C.Walkie-talkie, photocopier, fax machine only
D.Barcode scanner, ATM keypad, traffic light
Explanation: Televisions, radios, mobile phones, and tablets are everyday home ICT devices used for entertainment, news, and communication. Projectors and photocopiers are more typical of school or office settings, while barcode scanners and ATM keypads are workplace devices.
2Which ICT device is most appropriate for making many paper copies of an exam paper at school?
A.Photocopier
B.Fax machine
C.Data projector
D.Digital camera
Explanation: A photocopier is designed to produce many paper copies of a document quickly, which matches school exam-paper duplication. Fax machines send documents over a phone line, projectors display images, and cameras capture photos rather than mass-copy paper.
3In a hospital radiography (X-ray) department, ICT is mainly used to:
A.Water crops and measure soil acidity
B.Play educational games for entertainment only
C.Print class attendance lists for teachers
D.Capture and store medical images for diagnosis
Explanation: Radiography units use ICT to capture, view, and store medical images that help health workers diagnose patients. Crop and soil tools belong to agriculture, games are recreational, and attendance lists are school administration tasks.
4Which is an ICT use in agriculture listed in the primary ICT syllabus?
A.Diagnosing dental patients with X-rays
B.Measuring rainfall, temperature, or soil acidity
C.Printing supermarket till receipts only
D.Controlling traffic lights in towns only
Explanation: Primary ICT content includes agricultural uses such as measuring rainfall, acidity, and temperature, supporting animal and vegetable production, poultry, and farm records. Dental X-rays are health uses; till receipts and traffic lights are workplace/public systems.
5Which workplace sector commonly uses ICT for customer accounts, cash machines, and online banking?
A.Poultry houses only
B.Sports fields only
C.Banks
D.Art galleries only
Explanation: Banks rely on ICT for accounts, ATMs, electronic transfers, and customer records. The other options are not the main examples of financial workplace ICT in the Grade 7 syllabus.
6Which statement is a drawback of using ICT in the workplace?
A.Information can be stored for later use
B.Workers can become more accurate and efficient
C.New job opportunities can be created
D.Workers may over-rely on technology
Explanation: Over-reliance on technology is a recognised drawback: if systems fail or people stop practising basic skills, work can be disrupted. Storage, accuracy, efficiency, and new jobs are generally benefits of ICT at work.
7How have ICT developments improved supermarket services?
A.By removing all need for stock control
B.By banning the use of cash completely in every shop
C.Through faster checkout systems, barcodes, and electronic stock records
D.By replacing food with digital downloads
Explanation: Supermarkets use barcodes, scanners, electronic tills, and computerised stock records to speed checkout and track inventory. ICT supports better service; it does not remove stock control, ban cash everywhere, or replace food with downloads.
8Which device is most typical of school ICT equipment?
A.Data projector for classroom display
B.Rainfall sensor in a cattle kraal
C.ATM touch screen at a bank
D.Poultry temperature logger only
Explanation: Schools commonly use computers, printers, photocopiers, scanners, and data projectors for teaching and administration. Rainfall sensors and poultry loggers are agricultural; ATMs are banking devices.
9A benefit of ICT at home is that people can:
A.Communicate quickly and access information for learning and entertainment
B.Always avoid all electricity costs
C.Never need any rules about safe use
D.Replace every household chore with a single device automatically
Explanation: Home ICT supports communication (calls, messaging), learning, and entertainment. It does not remove electricity costs, safety rules, or automatically complete every chore.
10Which is a correct example of ICT supporting government services?
A.Growing maize without any records
B.Cooking meals without electricity
C.Issuing and recording identity or licence information with computer systems
D.Avoiding all public communication
Explanation: Governments use ICT for records, identity systems, licensing, and public information services. Farming without records, cooking, and avoiding communication do not describe government ICT service improvements.

About the EPC/EPSA ICT 645 Exam

Information and Communication Technology (645) is the Eswatini Grade 7 primary ICT subject under the Examinations Council of Eswatini.
