Exam 98-368: Mobility and Devices Fundamentals Practice Test
Exam 98-368: Mobility and Devices Fundamentals covers practical decisions about mobile devices and Windows device use. The available practice material samples settings for power and sign-in, app permissions, file associations, storage cleanup, battery use, and short-range sharing. It also touches on choosing access permissions and managing employee-owned phones through centralized device administration.
Exam overview
About the Exam 98-368: Mobility and Devices Fundamentals Exam
Mobile-device support involves balancing usability with protection of organizational data. Relevant decisions include selecting a screen timeout or sign-in method, checking battery usage, and identifying a likely cause of low storage without removing personal files. App security includes limiting unexpected camera or microphone access and reducing the risk of malicious software. Windows file associations determine which application opens a given file type, while sharing permissions distinguish viewing from editing. Near-field communication (NFC) can initiate a very short-range exchange between devices. Mobile device management (MDM) provides centralized administration for applying settings and distributing approved apps across devices, including employee-owned phones. These concepts help users and support staff match device capabilities and controls to common work needs.
Sample Practice Questions
Review a selection from this exam's published US Practice Tests practice bank.
A user wants to keep a Windows session open but prevent the display from lighting up when the device is not being used. Which setting directly controls how long the display stays on?
Show answer
Correct answer: AThe screen timeout setting determines how long the display remains on before turning off due to inactivity. It does not close the session or change printer, file backup, or network adapter settings.
A user needs to share a presentation with a colleague who should be able to view it but not make changes. Which sharing permission best matches this need?
Show answer
Correct answer: AView-only access allows the colleague to read or display the presentation without granting permission to modify it. Edit, owner, and full-control permissions grant broader capabilities.
An organization wants to apply settings and distribute approved apps to many employee-owned phones. Which type of solution is designed for centralized administration of mobile devices?
Show answer
Correct answer: AMobile device management systems let organizations centrally configure supported devices and manage policies or applications. The other options are not designed for fleet-level device administration.
A user wants to transfer photos directly between two nearby phones by touching them together. Which capability is most suitable for initiating a very short-range exchange?
Show answer
Correct answer: ANFC works over a very short distance and can be used to initiate exchanges between nearby compatible devices. The other choices do not provide this close-range handoff capability.
A computer displays an alert that its storage drive is almost full. Which action is most likely to free space without deleting personal documents?
Show answer
Correct answer: AOperating-system storage-cleanup tools can identify and remove temporary files that are no longer needed, freeing disk space without targeting personal documents.
A company laptop has a built-in camera and microphone. Which practice helps reduce the risk that an untrusted application can access them unexpectedly?
Show answer
Correct answer: AReviewing app permissions lets a user allow camera and microphone access only where appropriate. Keeping apps open, disabling updates, or sharing an account does not provide effective control of sensor access.
Which practice most directly helps protect a mobile device from malicious apps?
Show answer
Correct answer: AUsing trusted app sources and checking permissions reduces the risk of installing malicious software or granting apps unnecessary access. The other choices weaken device security.
How to use this practice test
Access is free. A session presents up to 20 random questions from the 50-question practice bank, covering a sample of its device and mobility scenarios. Results appear after the session, so use them to identify which settings, security choices, or device-management concepts need another review.
Preparation tips
- Compare Windows display timeout, sleep, and sign-in settings so you can identify which control affects each user request.
- Practice distinguishing view-only sharing permissions from permissions that allow editing.
- Review how centralized mobile device management applies settings and approved apps, including on employee-owned phones.
- For device-security scenarios, connect app permissions and trusted app sources with protection of cameras, microphones, and stored data.
- Learn the roles of file associations, storage cleanup tools, battery-usage checks, and NFC in routine device support.
