Sample Practice Test Questions

Mechanical Comprehension

Gear ratio indicates which of the following about two connected gears?

mechanical advantage

The mechanical advantage (amount of change in speed or torque) of connected gears is proportional to the number of teeth each gear has. Called gear ratio, it's the ratio of the number of teeth on the larger gear to the number of teeth on the smaller gear.  For example, a gear with 12 teeth connected to a gear with 9 teeth would have a gear ratio of 4:3.

Electronics Information

What is the primary difference between a rectifier and an inverter?

a rectifier converts an AC input to DC while an inverter converts a DC input to AC

A diode allows current to pass easily in one direction and blocks current in the other direction. Diodes are commonly used for rectification which is the conversion of alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC). Because a diode only allows current flow in one direction, it will pass either the upper or lower half of AC waves (half-wave rectification) creating pulsating DC. Multiple diodes can be connected together to utilize both halves of the AC signal in full-wave rectification.

General Science

The four planets closest to the Sun are called terrestrial. What does terrestrial mean?

the planets are Earth-like

The four planets closest to the Sun (Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars) are called terrestrial (Earth-like) planets because, like the Earth, they're solid with inner metal cores covered by rocky surfaces.

General Science

In the classification of life, which of the following is not a domain?

animalia

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

General Science

pH is a scale that measures of how basic or acidic a solution is. A solution with a pH of 4 is:

acidic

An acid is a substance that gives up positively charged hydrogen ions (H+) when dissolved in water. A base (alkaline) gives up negatively charged hydroxide ions (OH-) when dissolved in water. pH is a scale that measures of how basic or acidic a solution is. Numbered from 0 to 14, solutions with a pH of 7 are neutral, less than 7 are acidic, more than 7 are alkaline.

General Science

Which of these is not a type of fat?

cholesterol

Fats come in three types, saturated (meats, shellfish, eggs, milk), monounsaturated (olives, almonds, avocados), and polyunsaturated (vegetable oils).

Math Knowledge
y = -2x - 2

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 2) and (2, -6). What is the slope-intercept equation for this line?

y = -2x - 2

The slope-intercept equation for a line is y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept of the line. From the graph, you can see that the y-intercept (the y-value from the point where the line crosses the y-axis) is -2. The slope of this line is the change in y divided by the change in x. The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 2) and (2, -6) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(-6.0) - (2.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-8}{4} \)
m = -2

Plugging these values into the slope-intercept equation:

y = -2x - 2

Word Knowledge
Helen will only accept something of comparable value for her ticket to the concert.
akin
Similar, equivalent.
General Science

In fermentation, what replaces oxygen in anaerobic respiration?

lactic acid or alcohol

If no oxygen is present, cellular respiration is anaerobic and will result in fermentation where either lactic acid or alcohol is used instead of oxygen.

General Science

Which of these digestive enzymes is not produced by the pancreas?

gastric acid

The acids produced by the pancreas contain several enzymes that aid in digestion.  Lipase converts fat to glycerol and fatty acids. Pancreatic amylase breaks down complex carbohydrates into simple sugars. Trypsin converts polypeptides (the building blocks of protein) into amino acids.
