Sample Practice Test Questions

General Science

Saturated fats can __________ LDL ("bad") cholesterol while unsaturated fats can __________ it.

raise, decrease

Saturated fats can raise LDL ("bad") cholesterol while unsaturated fats can decrease it.

Electronics Information

Why is an insulator a poor conductor of electricity?

an insulator has few free electrons

Insulators have valence shells that are more than half full of electrons and, as such, are tightly bound to the nucleus and difficult to move from one atom to another.

Arithmetic Reasoning

What is \( \frac{4}{6} \) + \( \frac{4}{14} \)?

\(\frac{20}{21}\)

To add these fractions, first find the lowest common multiple of their denominators. The first few multiples of 6 are [6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60] and the first few multiples of 14 are [14, 28, 42, 56, 70, 84, 98]. The first few multiples they share are [42, 84] making 42 the smallest multiple 6 and 14 share.

Next, convert the fractions so each denominator equals the lowest common multiple:

\( \frac{4 x 7}{6 x 7} \) + \( \frac{4 x 3}{14 x 3} \)

\( \frac{28}{42} \) + \( \frac{12}{42} \)

Now, because the fractions share a common denominator, you can add them:

\( \frac{28 + 12}{42} \) = \( \frac{40}{42} \) = \(\frac{20}{21}\)

Word Knowledge
Heidi's grandfather was gruff, barking stern orders and hardly smiling.
surly
Rough or stern in manner or speech.
Electronics Information

Electrical power is measured in:

watts

Electrical power is measured in watts (W) and is calculated by multiplying the voltage (V) applied to a circuit by the resulting current (I) that flows in the circuit: P = IV. In addition to measuring production capacity, power also measures the rate of energy consumption and many loads are rated for their consumption capacity. For example, a 60W lightbulb utilizes 60W of energy to produce the equivalent of 60W of heat and light energy.

General Science

Which of the following is not a vector quantity?

mass

Velocity and displacement are vector quantities which means each is fully described by both a magnitude and a direction.  In contrast, scalar quantities are quantities that are fully described by a magnitude only.  A variable indicating a vector quantity will often be shown with an arrow symbol:  \(\vec{v}\)

General Science

The hottest of Earth's atmospheric layers is which of the following?

thermosphere

Temperatures again increase with altitude in the thermosphere which is the hottest (4,530 °F / 2,500 °C) atmospheric layer due to direct exposure to the Sun's radiation. However, the gas in this layer is highly diluted so even though the atoms of gas may be very high in temperature, there are too few of them to effectively transfer much heat.

Word Knowledge
The boy's insolence to the policeman embarrassed his mother.
impudence
Boldness or rudeness.
Word Knowledge
Apathetic most nearly means:
impassive
Showing little or no emotion.
Automotive Information

A __________ is designed to drive a pair of wheels while allowing them to rotate at different speeds.

differential

A differential is designed to drive a pair of wheels while allowing them to rotate at different speeds. A transaxle is a transmission that incorporates the differential in one package. Most front-wheel drive cars use a transaxle while rear-wheel drive cars use a transmission and separate differential connected via a drive shaft. The differential is incorporated into the drive axle which splits engine power delivered by the drive shaft between the two drive wheels. All-wheel drive cars typically use a transaxle that includes an output shaft to the rear differential.
