Sample Practice Test Questions

General Science

A compound is a substance containing two or more different chemical elements bound together by what kind of bond?

chemical

A compound is a substance containing two or more different chemical elements bound together by a chemical bond. In covalent compounds, electrons are shared between atoms. In ionic compounds, one atom borrows an electron from another atom resulting in two ions (electrically charged atoms) of opposite polarities that then become bonded electrostatically.

Mechanical Comprehension

The mechanical advantage of a block and tackle is equal to which of the following?

the number of pulleys

Two or more pulleys used together constitute a block and tackle which, unlike a fixed pulley, does impart mechanical advantage as a function of the number of pulleys that make up the arrangement.  So, for example, a block and tackle with three pulleys would have a mechanical advantage of three.

Automotive Information

What is the function of the alternator?

replaces the electrical energy that the car draws from the battery

An automobile's electrical system runs on DC power and the bulk of that power is supplied by the battery. The alternator converts the motion of the rotor into AC power which is then fed through the rectifier to convert it to DC power that both the car and the battery can use.

Automotive Information

Which of the following is not a function of a car battery?

acts as a supplemental source of energy to moderate engine performance

The lead-acid battery is the core of the electrical system, providing current to the ignition system to start the engine as well as delivering supplemental current when the alternator can't handle high electrical system loads and acting as an electrical reservoir for excessive current.

Word Knowledge
Accommodate most nearly means:
oblige
To give consideration to.
Arithmetic Reasoning

Solve 2 + (5 + 2) ÷ 5 x 3 - 42

-9\(\frac{4}{5}\)

Use PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multipy/Divide, Add/Subtract):

2 + (5 + 2) ÷ 5 x 3 - 42
P: 2 + (7) ÷ 5 x 3 - 42
E: 2 + 7 ÷ 5 x 3 - 16
MD: 2 + \( \frac{7}{5} \) x 3 - 16
MD: 2 + \( \frac{21}{5} \) - 16
AS: \( \frac{10}{5} \) + \( \frac{21}{5} \) - 16
AS: \( \frac{31}{5} \) - 16
AS: \( \frac{31 - 80}{5} \)
\( \frac{-49}{5} \)
-9\(\frac{4}{5}\)

Word Knowledge
Flaw most nearly means:
defect
An imperfection.
Word Knowledge
Procrastinate most nearly means:
delay
To put off intentionally.
Math Knowledge

Solve for a:
a2 + 6a - 13 = -a + 5

2 or -9

The first step to solve a quadratic expression that's not set to zero is to solve the equation so that it is set to zero:

a2 + 6a - 13 = -a + 5
a2 + 6a - 13 - 5 = -a
a2 + 6a + a - 18 = 0
a2 + 7a - 18 = 0

Next, factor the quadratic equation:

a2 + 7a - 18 = 0
(a - 2)(a + 9) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (a - 2) or (a + 9) must equal zero:

If (a - 2) = 0, a must equal 2
If (a + 9) = 0, a must equal -9

So the solution is that a = 2 or -9

Mechanical Comprehension

Specific gravity is a comparison of the density of an object with the density of:

water

Specific gravity is the ratio of the density of equal volumes of a substance and water and is measured by a hyrdometer.
