Sample Practice Test Questions

Electronics Information

Capacitors store:

electricity

Capacitors store electricity and are used in circuits as temporary batteries. Capacitors are charged by DC current (AC current passes through a capacitor) and that stored charge can later be dissipated into the circuit as needed. Capacitors are often used to maintain power within a system when it is disconnected from its primary power source or to smooth out or filter voltage within a circuit.

General Science

This skeletal system is common in arthropods like insects, spiders, and crustaceans.

exoskeleton

An exoskeleton (external skeleton) is common in arthropods like insects, spiders, and crustaceans.

Word Knowledge
Situated on a mountain, with sixteen–foot walls, the castle was inviolable.
untouchable
Secure from assault of trespass.
General Science

Which of the following would be used in eye glasses to correct farsightedness?

convex lens

Unlike curved mirrors that operate on the principle of reflection, lenses utilize refraction. A convex lens is thicker in the middle than on the edges and converges light while a concave lens is thicker on the edges than in the middle and diffuses light. A common use for curved lenses is in eye glasses where a convex lens is used to correct farsightedness and a concave lens is used to correct nearsightedness.

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.

General Science

During digestion, after proteins are broken down where does the undigested food go next?

small intestine

Food is mixed with gastric acid and pepsin in the stomach to help break down protein.

Arithmetic Reasoning

23 members of a bridal party need transported to a wedding reception but there are only 4 5-passenger taxis available to take them. How many will need to find other transportation?

3

There are 4 5-passenger taxis available so that's 4 x 5 = 20 total seats. There are 23 people needing transportation leaving 23 - 20 = 3 who will have to find other transportation.

Word Knowledge
Compulsion most nearly means:
urge
An irresistible impulse.
Mechanical Comprehension
A mass of air has a pressure of 6.0 psi and a volume of 30 ft.3. If the air is compressed to a new volume of 10 ft.3, what is the new pressure?
18 psi

According to Boyle's Law, pressure and volume are inversely proportional:

\( \frac{P_1}{P_2} \) = \( \frac{V_2}{V_1} \)

In this problem, V2 = 10 ft.3, V1 = 30 ft.3 and P1 = 6.0 psi. Solving for P2:

P2 = \( \frac{P_1}{\frac{V_2}{V_1}} \) = \( \frac{6.0 psi}{\frac{10 ft.^3}{30 ft.^3}} \) = 18 psi

Arithmetic Reasoning

If \( \left|x + 9\right| \) - 3 = 7, which of these is a possible value for x?

-19

First, solve for \( \left|x + 9\right| \):

\( \left|x + 9\right| \) - 3 = 7
\( \left|x + 9\right| \) = 7 + 3
\( \left|x + 9\right| \) = 10

The value inside the absolute value brackets can be either positive or negative so (x + 9) must equal + 10 or -10 for \( \left|x + 9\right| \) to equal 10:

x + 9 = 10
x = 10 - 9
x = 1
x + 9 = -10
x = -10 - 9
x = -19

So, x = -19 or x = 1.
