Sample Practice Test Questions

Word Knowledge
Censure most nearly means:
blame
To find fault with.
Shop Information

Which of the following would be used to make a drilling guide mark in a sheet of metal?

center punch

A punch is narrow and is used to drive objects like nails (pin punch) or for making guide marks for drilling (center punch) or patterns in wood or metal.

Electronics Information

Which of the following is not a purpose of a resistor in an electrical circuit?

multiply the current in the circuit

Resistors can be chosen in a wide variety of values to control the voltage in a circuit, limit the current, or moderate the heat produced by the components in the circuit.

Word Knowledge
The impenitent criminal received a harsh penalty, but his remorseful accomplice was released.
obdurate
Lacking remorse.
General Science

The most diverse kindgom of life is which of the following?

protists

Below domain, life is classified into six kingdoms: plants, animals, archaebacteria, eubacteria, and fungi. The last kingdom, protists, include all microscopic organisms that are not bacteria, animals, plants or fungi.  (Archaebacteria and eubacteria are sometimes combined into a single kingdom, monera.)

Mechanical Comprehension
1.2 If the radius of the axle is 5 and the radius of the wheel is 6, what is the mechanical advantage of this wheel and axle configuration?
1.2

The mechanical advantage of a wheel and axle is the input radius divided by the output radius:

MA = \( \frac{r_i}{r_o} \)

In this case, the input radius (where the effort force is being applied) is 6 and the output radius (where the resistance is being applied) is 5 for a mechanical advantage of \( \frac{6}{5} \) = 1.2

Mechanical Comprehension
What's the mechanical advantage of a wedge that's 3 inches wide and 12 inches long?
4

The mechanical advantage (MA) of a wedge is its length divided by its thickness:

MA = \( \frac{l}{t} \) = \( \frac{12 in.}{3 in.} \) = 4

Arithmetic Reasoning

Which of the following is not a prime number?

9

A prime number is an integer greater than 1 that has no factors other than 1 and itself. Examples of prime numbers include 2, 3, 5, 7, and 11.

Automotive Information

Which of the following is the result of combustion being initiated by a source other than the spark plug?

pre-ignition

Normal combustion in an engine is initiated by a spark plug and results in the complete burning of the air-fuel mixture. If combustion is initiated by a source other than the spark plug, by a hot spot in the cylinder or combustion chamber for example, pre-ignition results. Detonation results if the air-fuel mixture explodes instead of burning. Detonation can cause extremes in pressure in the combustion chamber leading to engine damage.

Automotive Information

Too much air results in a __________ air-fuel mixture that burns more slowly and hotter.

lean

The stoichiometric ratio defines the proper ratio of air to fuel necessary so that an engine burns all fuel with no excess air. For gasoline fuel, the stoichiometric ratio is about 14.7:1 or for every one gram of fuel, 14.7 grams of air are required. Too much air results in a lean air-fuel mixture that burns more slowly and hotter while too much fuel results in a rich mixture that burns quicker and cooler.
