Sample Practice Test Questions

Automotive Information

Ignition timing defines the point in time at the end of the compression stroke that which of the following happens?

spark plugs fire

Ignition timing defines the point in time at the end of the compression stroke that the spark plug fires. Measured in number of degrees before top dead center (BTDC), the exact point that the spark plugs initiate combustion varies depending on the speed of the engine. The timing is advanced (the spark plugs fire a few more degrees BTDC) when the engine is running faster and retarded when it's running slower.

Automotive Information

A __________ is designed to drive a pair of wheels while allowing them to rotate at different speeds.

differential

A differential is designed to drive a pair of wheels while allowing them to rotate at different speeds. A transaxle is a transmission that incorporates the differential in one package. Most front-wheel drive cars use a transaxle while rear-wheel drive cars use a transmission and separate differential connected via a drive shaft. The differential is incorporated into the drive axle which splits engine power delivered by the drive shaft between the two drive wheels. All-wheel drive cars typically use a transaxle that includes an output shaft to the rear differential.

General Science

In the metric system, what prefix represents 103?

kilo

Kilo is the metric system prefix for 103.

Shop Information

Which of the following types of saws would you use if you needed to cut the wood quickly and weren't concerned with leaving rough edges?

rip saw

Wood saws are categorized primarily by their teeth. Crosscut saws utilize knife-shaped teeth that cut across the grain of the wood while rip saws cut with the grain using chisel-shaped teeth that rip the wood cells apart as the cut is made. The kerf (slot) made by by a crosscut saw is much smoother than that made by a rip saw but a rip saw cuts much faster. Coping saws are a type of bow saw used to make detailed often curving cuts using replaceable blades with fine small teeth.

General Science

Tertiary consumers eat which of the following?

primary and secondary consumers

Tertiary consumers eat primary consumers and secondary consumers and are typically carnivorous predators. Tertiary consumers may also be omnivores. Examples include wolves, sharks, and human beings.

Automotive Information

Which of the following is the result of the air-fuel mixture exploding instead of burning?

detonation

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

A vehicle's lighting system is protected from current spikes by:

fuses and circuit breakers

The lighting system consists of interior lights, instrument panel lighting, headlights, and taillights. Like household electrical circuits, the vehicle's lighting system is protected from current spikes by fuses and circuit breakers.

General Science

What prevents blood pumped out of the ventricles from flowing back into the heart?

valves

The heart is the organ that drives the circulatory system. In humans, it consists of four chambers with two that collect blood called atria and two that pump blood called ventricles. The heart's valves prevent blood pumped out of the ventricles from flowing back into the heart.

General Science

Which of the following is the primary difference between a comet and an asteroid?

comets have an atmosphere

A comet is a loose collection of ice, dust, and small rocky particles that, in contrast to an asteroid, has an extended atmosphere surrounding the center. When passing close to the Sun, this atmosphere warms and begins to release gases forming a visible coma or tail.

Arithmetic Reasoning

A tiger in a zoo has consumed 143 pounds of food in 11 days. If the tiger continues to eat at the same rate, in how many more days will its total food consumtion be 195 pounds?

4

If the tiger has consumed 143 pounds of food in 11 days that's \( \frac{143}{11} \) = 13 pounds of food per day. The tiger needs to consume 195 - 143 = 52 more pounds of food to reach 195 pounds total. At 13 pounds of food per day that's \( \frac{52}{13} \) = 4 more days.
