Sample Practice Test Questions

Mechanical Comprehension

Which of the following is not a type of bridge?

block

The six basic bridge forms are beam, truss, arch, cantilever, cable, and suspension.

Word Knowledge
Sarah thought George's ploy of borrowing her notes was a cowardly way to ask her out.
strategem
A contrived plan.
Arithmetic Reasoning

What is 7\( \sqrt{4} \) x 6\( \sqrt{4} \)?

168

To multiply terms with radicals, multiply the coefficients and radicands separately:

7\( \sqrt{4} \) x 6\( \sqrt{4} \)
(7 x 6)\( \sqrt{4 \times 4} \)
42\( \sqrt{16} \)

Now we need to simplify the radical:

42\( \sqrt{16} \)
42\( \sqrt{4^2} \)
(42)(4)
168

Arithmetic Reasoning

If \(\left|a\right| = 7\), which of the following best describes a?

a = 7 or a = -7

The absolute value is the positive magnitude of a particular number or variable and is indicated by two vertical lines: \(\left|-5\right| = 5\). In the case of a variable absolute value (\(\left|a\right| = 5\)) the value of a can be either positive or negative (a = -5 or a = 5).

General Science

The first step in the water cycle is:

evaporation

The water (hydrologic) cycle describes the movement of water from Earth through the atmosphere and back to Earth. The cycle starts when water evaporates into a gas from bodies of water like rivers, lakes and oceans or transpirates from the leaves of plants.

Arithmetic Reasoning

Convert x-3 to remove the negative exponent.

\( \frac{1}{x^3} \)

To convert a negative exponent to a positive exponent, calculate the positive exponent then take the reciprocal.

Mechanical Comprehension

Which of the following is not true of a  first-class lever?

decreases distance

A first-class lever is used to increase force or distance while changing the direction of the force. The lever pivots on a fulcrum and, when a force is applied to the lever at one side of the fulcrum, the other end moves in the opposite direction. The position of the fulcrum also defines the mechanical advantage of the lever. If the fulcrum is closer to the force being applied, the load can be moved a greater distance at the expense of requiring a greater input force. If the fulcrum is closer to the load, less force is required but the force must be applied over a longer distance. An example of a first-class lever is a seesaw / teeter-totter.

Automotive Information

The spark plugs fire a few extra degrees before top dead center when the engine is running faster. In this case the engine's timing is:

advanced

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.

Electronics Information

Current is the rate of flow of electrons per unit time and is measured in:

amperes

Current is the rate of flow of electrons per unit time and is measured in amperes (A). A coulomb (C) is the quantity of electricity conveyed in one second by a current of one ampere.

Word Knowledge
Melodious most nearly means:
dulcet
Having a pleasing melody.
