Sample Practice Test Questions

Word Knowledge
Allison's painting met with plaudits from the critics, who had dismissed her earlier work.
kudos
Enthusiastic approval.
Automotive Information

The spark plugs fire a few extra degrees before top dead center when the engine is running faster. In this case the engine's timing is:

advanced

Ignition timing defines the point in time at the end of the compression stroke that the spark plug fires. Measured in number of degrees before top dead center (BTDC), the exact point that the spark plugs initiate combustion varies depending on the speed of the engine. The timing is advanced (the spark plugs fire a few more degrees BTDC) when the engine is running faster and retarded when it's running slower.

Automotive Information

The wheel __________ is the mounting point for the wheel and tire assembly.

hub

The wheel hub is the mounting point for the wheel and tire assembly. The wheel hub can rotate while being held stable by the steering knuckle which applies the motion of the control arms to the wheels.

Word Knowledge
Consuela's friends called her an aesthete when she claimed that Monet's paintings made her cry.
connoisseur
Person having or affecting sensitivity to beauty.
Automotive Information

Engine oil viscosity is rated using the format XW-XX with the number preceding the W indicating viscosity at __________ ℉ and the XX indicating viscosity at __________ ℃.

0, 100

The primary component of the lubrication system is engine oil. Engines require oil blends with different thickness (viscosity) and additives depending on their operating conditions. Viscosity is rated using the format XW-XX with the number preceding the W (winter) rating the oil’s viscosity at 0 ℉ (-17.8 ℃) and the XX indicating viscosity at 100 ℃.

Mechanical Comprehension

When all forces acting on a system cancel each other out, this is called:

equilibrium

When a system is stable or balanced (equilibrium) all forces acting on the system cancel each other out. In the case of torque, equilibrium means that the sum of the anticlockwise moments about a center of rotation equal the sum of the clockwise moments.

Arithmetic Reasoning

What is \( \frac{1}{8} \) x \( \frac{1}{5} \)?

\(\frac{1}{40}\)

To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and then multiply the denominators together:

\( \frac{1}{8} \) x \( \frac{1}{5} \) = \( \frac{1 x 1}{8 x 5} \) = \( \frac{1}{40} \) = \(\frac{1}{40}\)

Automotive Information

Which of the following regulates the opening and closing of the intake and exhaust valves in each cylinder in time with the motion of the piston?

camshaft

The camshaft is linked to the crankshaft through a timing belt and regulates the opening and closing of the intake and exhaust valves in each cylinder in time with the motion of the piston. An engine designated OverHead Camshaft (OHC) locates the camshaft in the cylinder head. An engine with Double OverHead Camshaft (DOHC) has two camshafts, one to regulate the intake valves and one to regulate the exhaust valves.

Automotive Information

Power brakes multiply the force a driver applies to the brake pedal using a __________ connected to the engine intake manifold.

vacuum booster

Power brakes multiply the force a driver applies to the brake pedal using a vacuum booster connected to the engine intake manifold. This provides for much higher hydraulic pressure in the braking system than could be generated by the driver alone. Antilock brakes (ABS) use speed sensors and adjust the brake pressure at each wheel to prevent skidding and allow the driver more steering control in slippery conditions.

General Science

__________ is caused by a lack of Vitamin C.

scurvy

Scurvy is a difficiency disease caused by a lack of Vitamin C in the diet.
