Sample Practice Test Questions

Math Knowledge

Solve for a:
9a - 9 < \( \frac{a}{5} \)

a < 1\(\frac{1}{44}\)

To solve this equation, repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the < sign and the answer on the other.

9a - 9 < \( \frac{a}{5} \)
5 x (9a - 9) < a
(5 x 9a) + (5 x -9) < a
45a - 45 < a
45a - 45 - a < 0
45a - a < 45
44a < 45
a < \( \frac{45}{44} \)
a < 1\(\frac{1}{44}\)

Shop Information

Which of the following types of saws would you use if you needed to cut the wood quickly and weren't concerned with leaving rough edges?

rip saw

Wood saws are categorized primarily by their teeth. Crosscut saws utilize knife-shaped teeth that cut across the grain of the wood while rip saws cut with the grain using chisel-shaped teeth that rip the wood cells apart as the cut is made. The kerf (slot) made by by a crosscut saw is much smoother than that made by a rip saw but a rip saw cuts much faster. Coping saws are a type of bow saw used to make detailed often curving cuts using replaceable blades with fine small teeth.

Word Knowledge
The stern principal canceled the prom after the seniors played a silly prank.
strict
Harsh, severe.
Electronics Information
fuse

This circuit component symbol represents a(n):

fuse

Fuses are thin wires that melt when the current in a circuit exceeds a preset amount. They help prevent short circuits from damaging circuit components when an unusually large current is applied to the circuit, either through component failure or spikes in applied voltage.

Mechanical Comprehension

A watt is the unit for which of the following?

power

Power is the rate at which work is done, P = w/t, or work per unit time. The watt (W) is the unit for power and is equal to 1 joule (or newton-meter) per second. Horsepower (hp) is another familiar unit of power used primarily for rating internal combustion engines. 1 hp equals 746 watts.

Electronics Information

Which of the following converts electrical energy into another form of energy in an electrical circuit?

load

A load is a source of resistance that converts electrical energy into another form of energy. The components of a microwave, for example, are loads that work together to convert household electricity into radation that can be used to quickly cook food.

Automotive Information

Which of the following receive signals from the powertrain control module (PCM) and carry out its instructions?

actuators

Actuators receive signals from the PCM and carry out adjustments needed based on the data the PCM received from the sensors.

Mechanical Comprehension
A 290 lb. barrel is rolled up a 14 ft. ramp to a platform that's 2 ft. tall. What effort is required to move the barrel?
41.4 lbs.

This problem describes an inclined plane and, for an inclined plane, the effort force multiplied by the effort distance equals the resistance force multipied by the resistance distance:

Fede = Frdr

Plugging in the variables from this problem yields:

Fe x 14 ft. = 290 lbs. x 2 ft.
Fe = \( \frac{580 ft⋅lb}{14 ft.} \) = 41.4 lbs.

Word Knowledge
Fickle most nearly means:
erratic
Lacking constancy, changeable.
General Science

A compound is a substance containing two or more different chemical elements bound together by what kind of bond?

chemical

A compound is a substance containing two or more different chemical elements bound together by a chemical bond. In covalent compounds, electrons are shared between atoms. In ionic compounds, one atom borrows an electron from another atom resulting in two ions (electrically charged atoms) of opposite polarities that then become bonded electrostatically.
