“Computer
Forensics & Cybercrime Sample Study Guide!”
Ramesh C. Reddy Editors Note: After praying to the Lord Jesus, I put together my own 25 multiple choice questions to help you assess what slides you need to focus your study on based on how many you get right. Also, the best way to study is to ask yourself what would have made the other answers correct. If you cannot answer that, you should go back and study the slides again. Studying this way is one study method. I do not know if the real final exam will be easier than this or harder. The real final could have questions from chapters 1-6 but I decided to focus on the chapters since the midterm 7-13. Hope you find this helpful to study.
