ENGINEERING GRAPHICS TEST – SECTIONAL

This Test Consists of 50 Questions

Engineering Graphics Test Production Team

Ryan Brown, Illinois State University – Author/Team Leader Kevin Devine, Illinois State University – Author

Jacob Borgerson, PhD, University of Illinois at Urbana - Champaign – Reviewer Mary Weaver, WYSE – Coordinator of Test Production

GENERAL DIRECTIONS Please read the following instructions carefully. This is a timed test; any instructions from the test supervisor should be followed promptly. The test supervisor will give instructions for filling in any necessary information on the answer sheet. Most Academic Challenge sites will ask you to indicate your answer to each question by marking an oval that corresponds to the correct answer for that question. One oval should be marked to answer each question. Multiple ovals will automatically be graded as an incorrect answer.

If you wish to change an answer, erase your first mark completely before marking your new choice. You are advised to use your time effectively and to work as rapidly as you can without losing accuracy. Do not waste your time on questions that seem too difficult for you. Go on to the other questions, and then come back to the difficult ones later if time remains.

*** Time: 40 Minutes ***
