Sample Practice Test Questions

Automotive Information

Which of the following is not a function of antifreeze?

lubricates the cooling system

Modern car engines are cooled by liquid which circulates through the engine block and cylinder heads absorbing excess heat. This liquid is made up of half water and half antifreeze (commonly, ethylene glycol) which both keeps the water from freezing at low temperatures and raises its boiling point making heat transfer more efficient.

Arithmetic Reasoning

Simplify \( \sqrt{8} \)

2\( \sqrt{2} \)

To simplify a radical, factor out the perfect squares:

\( \sqrt{8} \)
\( \sqrt{4 \times 2} \)
\( \sqrt{2^2 \times 2} \)
2\( \sqrt{2} \)

Word Knowledge
Rail most nearly means:
upbraid
To scold in harsh language.
General Science

Which of these is a type of Earth's crust?

oceanic

The crust is the Earth's outermost layer and is divided into oceanic and continental types. Oceanic crust is 3 miles (5 km) to 6 miles (10 km) thick and is composed primarily of denser rock. Continental crust is 20 to 30 miles (30 to 50 km) thick and composed primarily of less dense rock. The crust makes up approximately one percent of the Earth's total volume.

Arithmetic Reasoning

Which of the following is a mixed number?

\(1 {2 \over 5} \)

A rational number (or fraction) is represented as a ratio between two integers, a and b, and has the form \({a \over b}\) where a is the numerator and b is the denominator. An improper fraction (\({5 \over 3} \)) has a numerator with a greater absolute value than the denominator and can be converted into a mixed number (\(1 {2 \over 3} \)) which has a whole number part and a fractional part.

Word Knowledge
Liability most nearly means:
handicap
A person or thing whose presence or behavior is likely to cause embarrassment or put one at a disadvantage.
Mechanical Comprehension
A 290 lb. barrel is rolled up a 14 ft. ramp to a platform that's 2 ft. tall. What effort is required to move the barrel?
41.4 lbs.

This problem describes an inclined plane and, for an inclined plane, the effort force multiplied by the effort distance equals the resistance force multipied by the resistance distance:

Fede = Frdr

Plugging in the variables from this problem yields:

Fe x 14 ft. = 290 lbs. x 2 ft.
Fe = \( \frac{580 ft⋅lb}{14 ft.} \) = 41.4 lbs.

Word Knowledge
Methodical most nearly means:
systematic
Performed in an orderly manner.
Mechanical Comprehension
If you have a gear train with two gears, the first with 32 teeth and the second with 4 teeth, how many revolutions does the second gear make for each revolution of the first gear?
8

The gear ratio (Vr) of a gear train is the product of the gear ratios between the pairs of meshed gears. Let N represent the number of teeth for each gear:

Vr = \( \frac{N_1}{N_2} \) \( \frac{N_2}{N_3} \) \( \frac{N_3}{N_4} \) ... \( \frac{N_n}{N_{n+1}} \)

In this problem, we have only two gears so the equation becomes:

Vr = \( \frac{N_1}{N_2} \) = \( \frac{32}{4} \) = 8

General Science

The biosphere consists of which of the following?

all of these

The biosphere is the global ecological system integrating all living beings and their relationships. This includes their interactions with the lithosphere (the rigid outer part of the earth, consisting of the crust and upper mantle), hydrosphere (all surface water), and atmosphere (the envelope of gases surrounding the planet).
