Sample Practice Test Questions

Automotive Information

What is the pimary advantage of using power brakes on a vehicle?

provides higher hydraulic pressure in the braking system

Power brakes multiply the force a driver applies to the brake pedal using a vacuum booster connected to the engine intake manifold. This provides for much higher hydraulic pressure in the braking system than could be generated by the driver alone. Antilock brakes (ABS) use speed sensors and adjust the brake pressure at each wheel to prevent skidding and allow the driver more steering control in slippery conditions.

Word Knowledge
Procrastinate most nearly means:
delay
To put off intentionally.
Math Knowledge
9π

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 9 and radius (r) = 1. What is the volume?

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(12 x 9)
v = 9π

Mechanical Comprehension

The force amplification achieved by using a tool, mechanical device or machine system is called:

mechanical advantage

Mechanical advantage is a measure of the force amplification achieved by using a tool, mechanical device or machine system. Such a device utilizes input force and trades off forces against movement to amplify and/or change its direction.

Word Knowledge
The cruel Estella's corrosive comments made Pip cry.
caustic
Bitingly sarcastic.
Mechanical Comprehension

Depending on where you apply effort and resistance, the wheel and axle can multiply:

force or speed

If you apply the resistance to the axle and the effort to the wheel, the wheel and axle will multiply force and if you apply the resistance to the wheel and the effort to the axle, it will multiply speed.

Arithmetic Reasoning

What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 3, 7, 13, 21, __________ ?

31

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 2(n - 1)

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 + 2(6 - 1)
a6 = 21 + 2(5)
a6 = 31

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.

Mechanical Comprehension

Which of the following represents how much two materials resist sliding across each other?

coefficient of friction

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.

Automotive Information

The two major types of vehicle braking systems are:

drum and disc

Brakes utlize friction to slow vehicle tires. Drum brakes employ a cast iron drum that roates with the vehicle axle. When hydraulic pressure is applied to the brake assemblies at the wheels, internal pistons expand and push brake shoes outward into contact with the brake drum slowing the rotation of the axle. More powerful disc brakes operate by pinching a rotating disc betweeen two brake pads and allow for a larger surface area to contact the disc, provide more force, and are more easily cooled.
