Sample Practice Test Questions

Arithmetic Reasoning

What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 7, 13, 19, 25, __________ ?

31

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 6

where n is the term's order in the sequence, an is the value of the term, and an-1 is the value of the term before an. This makes the next number:

a6 = a5 + 6
a6 = 25 + 6
a6 = 31

Mechanical Comprehension
If input effort is 700 ft⋅lb, what output effort will be produced by a machine with a mechanical advantage of 5?
3500 ft⋅lb
Mechanical advantage is the ratio of output force to input force and tells us by how many times a machine multiplies input effort. So, a machine with a mechanical advantage of 5 will multiply an input effort of 700 ft⋅lb by 5 to produce an output effort of 3500 ft⋅lb.

127°

If angle a = 53° and angle b = 27° what is the length of angle d?

127°

An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite:

d° = b° + c°

To find angle c, remember that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:

180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 53° - 27° = 100°

So, d° = 27° + 100° = 127°

A shortcut to get this answer is to remember that angles around a line add up to 180°:

a° + d° = 180°
d° = 180° - a°
d° = 180° - 53° = 127°

Mechanical Comprehension

Which of these is the formula for force?

F = ma

Newton's Second Law of Motion states that "The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object." This Law describes the linear relationship between mass and acceleration when it comes to force and leads to the formula F = ma or force equals mass multiplied by rate of acceleration.

Mechanical Comprehension

The mass of an object correlates to the size of the object but ultimately depends on:

the object's density

Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object.  In general, larger objects have larger mass than smaller objects but mass ultimately depends on how compact (dense) a substance is.

Arithmetic Reasoning

What is \( 5 \)\( \sqrt{28} \) + \( 7 \)\( \sqrt{7} \)

17\( \sqrt{7} \)

To add these radicals together their radicands must be the same:

5\( \sqrt{28} \) + 7\( \sqrt{7} \)
5\( \sqrt{4 \times 7} \) + 7\( \sqrt{7} \)
5\( \sqrt{2^2 \times 7} \) + 7\( \sqrt{7} \)
(5)(2)\( \sqrt{7} \) + 7\( \sqrt{7} \)
10\( \sqrt{7} \) + 7\( \sqrt{7} \)

Now that the radicands are identical, you can add them together:

10\( \sqrt{7} \) + 7\( \sqrt{7} \)
(10 + 7)\( \sqrt{7} \)
17\( \sqrt{7} \)

Mechanical Comprehension
If you have a gear train with three gears, the first with 24 teeth, the second with 16 teeth, and the third with 4 teeth, what is its mechanical advantage?
6

The mechanical advantage of a gear train is its gear ratio. The gear ratio (Vr) is the product of the gear ratios between the pairs of meshed gears. Let N represent the number of teeth for each gear:

Vr = \( \frac{N_1}{N_2} \) \( \frac{N_2}{N_3} \) \( \frac{N_3}{N_4} \) ... \( \frac{N_n}{N_{n+1}} \)

In this problem, we have three gears so the equation becomes:

Vr = \( \frac{N_1}{N_2} \) \( \frac{N_2}{N_3} \) = \( \frac{24}{16} \) \( \frac{16}{4} \) = \( \frac{24}{4} \) = 6

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.

General Science

In taxonomy, domains are the broadest classification of life. How many domains are there?

3

The broadest classification of life splits all organisms into three groups called domains. The three domains of life are bacteria, archaea and eukaryota.
