In 2022-2023 I participated in the Huawei ICT Competition challenge which runs through a series of tests that we had to complete from 2022 until 2023 with different stages and each stage had a different level of difficulty. The first stage is the preliminary stage where we did a theory test which had 60 different questions based on datacom, security and wlan.
