Sample Practice Test Questions

General Science

A person's genotype is their genetic makeup and includes:

both dominant and recessive alleles

A person's genotype is their genetic makeup and includes both dominant and recessive alleles. Phenotype is how the genes express themselves in physical characteristics.

Word Knowledge
Placebo most nearly means:
sugar pill
An inactive substance used in medical testing.
General Science

In the Periodic Table of the Elements, elements in the same column belong to the same:

group

The columns of the Periodic Table are called groups and all elements in a group have the same number of electrons in their outer electron shell. The group that an element occupies generally determines its chemical properties as the number of outer shell electrons establishes the way it reacts with other elements to form molecules. So, because each element has the same number of electrons in its outer shell, each has similar reactivity.

General Science

Which of the following describes how a person's genes express themselves in physical characteristics?

phenotype

A person's genotype is their genetic makeup and includes both dominant and recessive alleles. Phenotype is how the genes express themselves in physical characteristics.

Mechanical Comprehension

Which of the following is not a type of simple machine?

gear

The six types of simple machines are the lever, wheel and axle, pulley, inclined plane, wedge, and screw.

Arithmetic Reasoning

Convert x-3 to remove the negative exponent.

\( \frac{1}{x^3} \)

To convert a negative exponent to a positive exponent, calculate the positive exponent then take the reciprocal.

Mechanical Comprehension

Which class of lever offers no mechanical advantage?

third

A third-class lever is used to increase distance traveled by an object in the same direction as the force applied. The fulcrum is at one end of the lever, the object at the other, and the force is applied between them. This lever does not impart a mechanical advantage as the effort force must be greater than the load but does impart extra speed to the load. Examples of third-class levers are shovels and tweezers.

Automotive Information

Which of the following is not part of an engine's cooling system?

air conditioner

The purpose of an automobile engine's cooling system is to circulate coolant around the engine so it can absorb and dissipate heat. The water pump pumps coolant through the various components in the system and the radiator cools down coolant after it has heated up after passing through the engine. The thermostat controls the flow of coolant based on engine temperature while the cooling fan draws air through the radiator when the car isn't moving fast enough for unforced air to cool things down on its own.

Automotive Information

The radiator is responsible for tranferring heat from the coolant to:

outside air

The radiator is responsible for tranferring heat from the coolant to the outside air. Radiator hoses transfer coolant to and from the engine to the radiator and a radiator cap maintains pressure in the cooling system to increase the boiling point of the coolant mixture and thus allow it to absorb more heat.

Mechanical Comprehension

What is the first step to solving a problem where multiple forces are acting on an object?

calculate the net force

In mechanics, multiple forces are often acting on a particular object and, taken together, produce the net force acting on that object. Like force, net force is a vector quantity in that it has magnitude and direction.
