Sample Practice Test Questions

General Science

The Earth's rocks fall into three categories based on how they're formed. Which of the following is formed when existing rock is altered through pressure, temperature, or chemical processes?

metamorphic

The Earth's rocks fall into three categories based on how they're formed. Igneous rock (granite, basalt, obsidian) is formed from the hardening of molten rock (lava), sedimentary rock (shale, sandstone, coal) is formed by the gradual despositing and cementing of rock and other debris, and metamorphic rock (marble, slate, quartzite) which is formed when existing rock is altered though pressure, temperature, or chemical processes.

Word Knowledge
The flighty Caroline could not be troubled with mundane tasks such as paying her bills.
commonplace
Practical, ordinary.
General Science

The four planets closest to the Sun are called terrestrial. What does terrestrial mean?

the planets are Earth-like

The four planets closest to the Sun (Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars) are called terrestrial (Earth-like) planets because, like the Earth, they're solid with inner metal cores covered by rocky surfaces.

Math Knowledge
12

If a = c = 4, b = d = 3, what is the area of this rectangle?

12

The area of a rectangle is equal to its length x width:

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 4 x 3
a = 12

Math Knowledge
4\( \sqrt{2} \)

If the area of this square is 16, what is the length of one of the diagonals?

4\( \sqrt{2} \)

To find the diagonal we need to know the length of one of the square's sides. We know the area and the area of a square is the length of one side squared:

a = s2

so the length of one side of the square is:

s = \( \sqrt{a} \) = \( \sqrt{16} \) = 4

The Pythagorean theorem defines the square of the hypotenuse (diagonal) of a triangle with a right angle as the sum of the squares of the other two sides:

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 42 + 42
c2 = 32
c = \( \sqrt{32} \) = \( \sqrt{16 x 2} \) = \( \sqrt{16} \) \( \sqrt{2} \)
c = 4\( \sqrt{2} \)

General Science

Which of the following is the narrowest classification of life?

species

The narrowest classification of life, species, contains organisms that are so similar that they can only reproduce with others of the same species.

Word Knowledge
Discern most nearly means:
detect
To recognize as separate as distinct.
Mechanical Comprehension

Which of the following is the formula for gravitational potential energy?

\(PE = mgh\)

Gravitational potential energy is energy by virtue of gravity. The higher an object is raised above a surface the greater the distance it must fall to reach that surface and the more velocity it will build as it falls. For gravitational potential energy, PE = mgh where m is mass (kilograms), h is height (meters), and g is acceleration due to gravity which is a constant (9.8 m/s2).

Word Knowledge
Absolve most nearly means:
exculpate
To forgive; to free from guilt.
Automotive Information

What cylinder arrangement would be most common in a four cylinder front-wheel drive vehicle?

inline

Cylinder number and arrangement depends on the purpose of the engine. Smaller (four and six cylinder) engines in front-wheel drive vehicles often use an inline design which orients cylinders vertically over the crankshaft and aligns them in a row. Other common orientations are a horizontal/opposed design which places cylinders flat facing each other with the crankshaft between them and a V-type design common in six and eight cylinder engines that features one cylinder head per block of cylinders oriented at a 60 to 90 degree angle to each other with the crankshaft at the bottom of the V.
