📝 Sample Questions

Q1. A thread is put into an alertable wait state and an APC is queued to it. What is the most likely outcome once the wait condition is satisfied?

🔹 A. The APC will execute before the thread returns to user mode

🔹 B. The APC will be ignored and remain pending

🔹 C. The APC will execute only after the thread exits kernel mode

🔹 D. The APC will cause the thread to terminate immediately

💡 Difficulty: easy | ✅ Correct: A

Q2. When a driver needs to perform a lengthy file‑system cleanup after an I/O completion, it can queue the work to the system’s worker‑thread pool instead of using a DPC. Which advantage best explains why this approach is preferred?

🔹 A. Worker threads run at a higher IRQL, preventing context switches

🔹 B. Worker threads can block without affecting ISR latency

🔹 C. Worker threads execute in user mode only

🔹 D. Worker threads guarantee immediate execution

💡 Difficulty: medium | ✅ Correct: B

Q3. A high‑rate network card generates an interrupt, the ISR queues a DPC to finish packet processing. Which statement correctly describes the priority relationship that guarantees the DPC will not pre‑empt other device ISRs but will still run before normal threads?

🔹 A. DPC runs only after all ISRs complete, regardless of priority

🔹 B. DPC executes at a priority lower than any device ISR but higher than normal thread priority

🔹 C. DPC runs at the same priority as APCs

🔹 D. DPC can be preempted by other DPCs of equal priority

💡 Difficulty: hard | ✅ Correct: B
