Sample Practice Test Questions

Mechanical Comprehension

One Horsepower (hp) is equal to how many watts?

746

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.

Math Knowledge

Which of the following is not true about both rectangles and squares?

the lengths of all sides are equal

A rectangle is a parallelogram containing four right angles. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) are equal and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d) or, comonly, 2 x length x width. The area of a rectangle is length x width. A square is a rectangle with four equal length sides. The perimeter of a square is 4 x length of one side (4s) and the area is the length of one side squared (s2).

Mechanical Comprehension

Which of the following is not a type of structural load?

occupancy load

Dead load is the weight of the building and materials, live load is additional weight due to occupancy or use, snow load is the weight of accumulated snow on a structure and wind load is the force of wind pressures against structure surfaces.

Shop Information

When cutting hard metals with a hacksaw you should choose a blade with __________ teeth per inch (TPI).

high

Blades with more and smaller teeth (high TPI) cut harder metals more effectively while blades with fewer and larger teeth (low TPI) cut softer metals more effectively.

Arithmetic Reasoning

What is c5 x 4c7?

4c12

To multiply terms with exponents, the base of both exponents must be the same. In this case they are so multiply the coefficients and add the exponents:

c5 x 4c7
(1 x 4)c(5 + 7)
4c12

General Science

Which of the following is not true of light waves?

are mechanical waves

Unlike mechanical sound waves that require a physical medium for propagation, light waves are electromagnetic and can travel through empty space. Light waves are also much faster, travelling at 186,000 m/s vs. 343 m/s for sound waves.

Arithmetic Reasoning

How many 8-passenger vans will it take to drive all 97 members of the football team to an away game?

13 vans

Calculate the number of vans needed by dividing the number of people that need transported by the capacity of one van:

vans = \( \frac{97}{8} \) = 12\(\frac{1}{8}\)

So, it will take 12 full vans and one partially full van to transport the entire team making a total of 13 vans.

Mechanical Comprehension

Which of the following is not a type of bridge?

block

The six basic bridge forms are beam, truss, arch, cantilever, cable, and suspension.

Mechanical Comprehension

Which of the following surfaces would have the lowest coefficient of friction?

ice

Coefficient of friction (μ) represents how much two materials resist sliding across each other.  Smooth surfaces like ice have low coefficients of friction while rough surfaces like concrete have high μ.

General Science

Earth's history is divided into time periods, which of these is the shortest time period? 

age

The Earth is approximately 4.6 billion years old and its history is divided into time periods based on the events that took place and the forms of life that were dominant during those periods. The largest graduation of time is the eon and each eon is subdivided into eras, eras into periods, periods into epochs, and epochs into ages.
