All questions

Question 1

A receipt page shows Print, ⋮, and Back. A note says, "Download is under More options."

What should Sam choose first to download the receipt?

  1. Choose Print to open More options.
  2. Choose ⋮ to open More options. (correct answer)
  3. Choose Back to download the receipt.
  4. Choose Print to save the receipt file.
Explanation: When you see a question about navigating a screen or menu, focus on the clues the passage gives you — especially any notes that tell you where something is hidden. The passage tells you directly: "Download is under More options." Your job is to figure out which button opens More options. On most phones and apps, the three vertical dots — written as ⋮ — is a universal symbol for "More options." So to download the receipt, Sam should tap ⋮ first, which opens More options, where the Download feature lives. That makes B the correct answer. Now let's look at why the other choices miss the mark. A says to choose Print to open More options — but Print is its own separate action for sending a document to a printer. It doesn't open a menu of extra options. C says to choose Back, but Back takes you to a previous screen — it moves you away from the receipt, not toward downloading it. D says to choose Print to save the receipt file, but printing and saving/downloading are two different things. Choosing Print would send the document to a printer, not save it to your device. A helpful tip: on screens and apps, the ⋮ symbol (three dots, sometimes called a "kebab menu") almost always means More options or More actions. When a passage tells you a feature is "under More options," look for that symbol as your first step. Training yourself to recognize common screen symbols will help you answer technology reading questions quickly and confidently.

Question 2

Rosa fills in an online clinic form. She checks her name, phone number, and date. She is ready to send the form.

Which button should Rosa choose next?

  1. Choose Menu to see more pages.
  2. Choose Submit to send the form. (correct answer)
  3. Choose Back to leave the form.
  4. Choose Help to read the guide.
Explanation: When you fill out an online form, think about what the goal of the form is. Rosa's goal is to send her information to the clinic. Once she has checked everything and is satisfied, she needs one final action — submitting the form so it reaches the clinic. The word "Submit" on a button means "send this information." Since Rosa has already reviewed her name, phone number, and date, choosing Submit (B) is the logical next step. It completes her task and delivers the form to the clinic. The other choices don't match what Rosa needs right now. A (Menu) would take her to other pages on the website — that's useful for browsing, but Rosa isn't trying to explore the site; she's ready to send a specific form. C (Back) would take her away from the completed form, possibly losing her work — the opposite of what she wants. D (Help) is for reading instructions or guides, which would only be useful if Rosa were confused or stuck. Since she has already reviewed everything and is ready, she doesn't need help. A useful tip: on forms — paper or digital — always look for the action word that matches your goal. Words like Submit, Send, or Confirm mean "finish and deliver." Words like Back, Cancel, or Menu move you away from completing the task. When a question describes someone who is ready to send something, the correct button will almost always be the one that means "go" or "send."

Question 3

Lee completes an online job form. The Submit button is gray and does not work. Above it is an empty box beside "I agree that this is true."

What should Lee do to send the form?

  1. Press the gray Submit button many times.
  2. Check the agreement box, then choose Submit. (correct answer)
  3. Choose Back, then fill out another form.
  4. Open Menu, then leave the job page.
Explanation: When you use digital forms — whether on a job site, a government page, or an app — buttons that appear gray or "locked" usually mean the form is not ready to submit yet. The website is waiting for you to complete a required step before it will let you move forward. Recognizing this pattern helps you avoid frustration and finish tasks successfully online. In this passage, Lee sees two important clues: the Submit button is gray (meaning it is disabled), and there is an unchecked box next to the words "I agree that this is true." That unchecked box is the missing step. Once Lee checks it — confirming agreement — the Submit button will become active and can be clicked. That makes B the correct answer: check the agreement box, then choose Submit. Answer A is a common mistake. Clicking a disabled button repeatedly will not make it work — the button is locked on purpose until the required action is taken. Answer C suggests going back and filling out a new form, which wastes time and does not solve the actual problem; the issue is a missing checkmark, not a broken form. Answer D — opening a menu and leaving the page — would cause Lee to lose all the work already entered, which is the opposite of what Lee needs. A helpful tip to remember: on digital forms, a gray or inactive button almost always signals an incomplete required field or unchecked box nearby. Before clicking Submit, scan the page for anything empty or unchecked — that is usually the step holding you back.

Question 4

An online payment form says, "Need help with the fee? Read payment help." The words "payment help" are blue and underlined. The page also has Back, Menu, and Submit buttons.

How can Ana read the help without sending the form?

  1. Choose Submit to open the help page.
  2. Choose Back to send the saved form.
  3. Choose Menu to finish the payment.
  4. Choose the underlined payment help link. (correct answer)
Explanation: When using websites and online forms, it helps to know how links work. A link is a clickable piece of text that takes you to more information. Links are almost always shown in blue and underlined — that formatting is a visual signal saying "click here to learn more." In this passage, the words "payment help" are blue and underlined, which means they are a link. Clicking that link opens help information without doing anything else to the form. That makes D the correct choice — Ana can read the help by choosing the underlined "payment help" link, because it is designed specifically for that purpose and won't submit or change the form. The other choices all describe buttons that do something different. Choice A suggests using Submit, but that button sends the form — the opposite of what Ana wants. Choosing Submit would process the payment before she has a chance to read anything. Choice B suggests using Back, but that button would take her to a previous page, not send a saved form — and either way, it doesn't open the help. Choice C suggests using Menu, but a Menu button navigates the site's main sections; it has nothing to do with finishing a payment or reading payment help. A helpful tip to remember: on questions like this, look for words like blue, underlined, or highlighted in the passage. Those are clues that a link is present. Buttons (like Back, Submit, and Menu) perform actions on the form, while links take you to new information without affecting what you've already filled in.

Question 5

Luis is filling out an appointment form. The form saves his words. He sees an underlined link called "What to bring." He wants to read it and then return to the unfinished form.

Which steps should Luis use?

  1. Choose Submit, then choose What to bring.
  2. Choose Menu, then start a new form.
  3. Choose What to bring, then choose Back. (correct answer)
  4. Choose Back, then search for the link.
Explanation: When using a website or digital form, it's important to know how to move between pages without losing your work. Links let you visit new information, and the Back button returns you to where you were — including any words you already typed into a form. In Luis's situation, he needs to do two things: read the "What to bring" information, and then return to his unfinished form. The smartest move is to click the "What to bring" link first, read it, and then press the Back button to return to his form exactly as he left it. This is why C is correct — it follows a simple, logical order that protects his work. A is wrong because choosing Submit would send the form before Luis is done filling it out. That could lock him out of editing it or submit incomplete information — the opposite of what he wants. B is wrong because opening a new form through the Menu would start completely over, erasing everything Luis has already typed. There's no need to start fresh when his form is still open. D is wrong because it reverses the logical order. Pressing Back before visiting the link would take him away from the form entirely, and then he'd have to search for the link from scratch — making extra, unnecessary work. A helpful tip: on any digital task, think "visit, then return." Links let you explore, and the Back button is your safety net. When you see questions about navigating forms or websites, ask yourself which steps protect your progress.

Question 6

Malik is reading a bus schedule online. He opens the wrong bus map. He wants to return to the schedule without doing a new search.

Which button should Malik choose?

  1. Choose ← Back to return one page. (correct answer)
  2. Choose Home to open the first page.
  3. Choose Reload to open the map again.
  4. Choose Menu to list other pages.
Explanation: When using a web browser, every page you visit gets added to your browsing history, and the browser remembers where you've been. This means you can move backward through your recent pages without starting over from scratch. Since Malik accidentally opened the wrong bus map, he simply needs to go back one step — to the page he was just on, which was the schedule. That's exactly what the ← Back button does. It takes you one page backward in your history. Answer A is correct because it solves the problem directly: one click, and he's back on the schedule with no extra work. The other choices don't fit what Malik needs. B (Home) takes you to your browser's starting page — often a search engine or your homepage — which would take Malik away from everything he's already found, not back to his schedule. C (Reload) refreshes the page you're currently on, meaning it would just reload the wrong bus map all over again — the opposite of helpful. D (Menu) opens a list of browser options or settings, not a list of recently visited pages, so it won't take him back to the schedule either. A useful tip to remember: when a question asks how to return to a previous page, look for language about going back or backward. The Back button (←) is specifically designed for this. On exam questions about browser navigation, watch for traps like Reload or Home — these move you away from where you want to be, not back to it.

Question 7

Omar is taking an online work lesson. The lesson says, "Use Previous and Next to move between questions. The browser Back arrow may close the lesson." Omar needs to check the last question.

Which button should Omar choose?

  1. Choose Previous inside the online lesson. (correct answer)
  2. Choose the browser Back arrow above.
  3. Choose Submit to end the lesson.
  4. Choose Menu to leave the questions.
Explanation: When using online lessons or programs, always follow the instructions given inside the tool — those instructions are written specifically to help you navigate safely without losing your work or accidentally closing the program. The passage tells you clearly: use Previous and Next to move between questions. Omar wants to go back to the last question he already passed, which means he needs to move backward — and the lesson provides a button for exactly that. Choice A is correct. The "Previous" button inside the lesson is designed to take Omar back one question safely, without disrupting the lesson itself. Choice B is a trap. The passage even warns you about this one — it specifically says the browser Back arrow "may close the lesson." Using it could erase Omar's progress or shut everything down. Just because the Back arrow is familiar doesn't mean it's safe to use here. Choice C, Submit, would end the lesson entirely. Omar isn't done — he just wants to review a previous question. Submitting too early could lock him out of making any changes. Choice D, Menu, is not mentioned in the passage as a way to navigate between questions. Choosing an unrelated option when a clear, correct one is provided would be an unnecessary risk. The key strategy here is: read the instructions first, and trust them. Online tools often have their own navigation that works differently from your browser. When a passage gives you specific warnings — like "the Back arrow may close the lesson" — treat that as a strong hint pointing you toward the right answer.

Question 8

A work website says, "To change your address, open the menu. Then choose My account." The page shows these buttons: ☰ Menu, Search, Back, and Submit.

What should the worker do first?

  1. Choose Search and type the new address.
  2. Choose Back and open the old page.
  3. Choose ☰ Menu and find My account. (correct answer)
  4. Choose Submit and send the current page.
Explanation: When you see a question like this, your job is to match the instructions in the passage to the buttons shown on the screen. Read the directions carefully and find the action that comes first. The passage gives two clear steps: first, open the menu; second, choose "My account." The button that opens the menu is ☰ Menu — that symbol (three stacked lines) is a common icon for a menu on websites and apps. So C is correct: clicking ☰ Menu is exactly what the instructions tell you to do first. Choice A is wrong because Search is for looking something up, not for changing your account address. Typing a new address in a search bar would not update your account information. Choice B is wrong because Back takes you to a previous page — the instructions never mention going backward, and doing so moves you away from where you need to be. Choice D is wrong because Submit sends whatever is already on the current page. You have not made any changes yet, so submitting now would accomplish nothing toward changing your address. A helpful strategy: when a passage gives you step-by-step instructions, underline or circle the first step before looking at the answer choices. Questions on this exam often list actions that happen later in the process as wrong answers — they are designed to catch you if you skip ahead. Always ask yourself, "What does the passage say to do first?" That one habit will help you avoid the most common trap on instruction-following questions.

Question 9

Nora finds a training page for work. She wants to send the exact page to her manager. The page has these choices: 🔗 Copy link, ← Back, ☰ Menu, and Submit.

Which steps should Nora use to share the page?

  1. Choose Back, then share the earlier page.
  2. Choose Menu, then share the menu list.
  3. Choose 🔗 Copy link, then paste it in a message. (correct answer)
  4. Choose Submit, then share the page that way.
Explanation: When a webpage has something you want to share, the key is to look for the tool that actually captures and sends that specific page — not a tool that moves you somewhere else or does something unrelated. The 🔗 Copy link option does exactly that. It copies the web address of the current page. Once Nora pastes that address into a message — an email, a text, or a chat — her manager can click it and land on the exact same training page. That's why C is the correct answer: Copy link, then paste it in a message is a direct, two-step path to sharing the page. The other choices each use a tool for the wrong purpose. A tells Nora to choose Back, but Back takes you away from the page to a previous one — she'd be sharing the wrong page entirely. B suggests choosing Menu, but a menu is a navigation list that helps you find other pages; it doesn't share anything. Pasting a menu list wouldn't help her manager find the training page. D suggests using Submit, but Submit is for sending a form or completing a task on that page — it has nothing to do with sharing a link with someone else. A helpful tip: on questions like this, look at what each button is designed to do. Buttons like Back, Menu, and Submit are for navigating or completing actions — they don't send content to another person. A link-sharing tool (🔗) is your signal that you can copy and send the page itself.

Question 10

After Mei chooses Submit, the page says, "We got your form. Confirmation number 4182." The page still shows a Submit button at the bottom.

What should Mei do now?

  1. Open Menu and start a second form.
  2. Choose Back and send the form again.
  3. Close the page and skip the number.
  4. Write down the number and do not resubmit. (correct answer)
Explanation: When you successfully submit a form online, websites typically show a confirmation message along with a unique number — this is your proof that the form went through. Knowing how to handle that moment is exactly what this question tests. The confirmation message says "We got your form" and gives Mei the number 4182. This means the form was already received successfully. The smart move is to write down that confirmation number and stop there — which is answer D. The number is Mei's receipt. If there's ever a problem later (like the organization says they never got her form), that number is her proof. Submitting again would send a duplicate, which could cause confusion or errors. Answer A is wrong because opening the menu to start a second form makes no sense here — Mei only needed to submit one form, and she already did. Answer B is the most dangerous trap: choosing Back and submitting again feels logical if you're unsure whether it worked, but the confirmation message already told Mei it worked. Resubmitting would create a duplicate entry. Answer C is wrong because skipping the confirmation number throws away important proof — that number exists specifically to protect Mei if anything goes wrong later. A good rule of thumb: always save or write down a confirmation number before closing any page. Once you close the page, that number may be gone forever. On questions like this, look for what the confirmation message is actually telling you — it's the key clue that the task is complete.
