The word 'swift' means fast or rapid. Therefore, option A is the correct synonym.
Solve for x: 2x = 10.
4
5
10
8
Dividing both sides of the equation by 2 yields x = 5. Thus, option B is correct.
What is the perimeter of a square with a side length of 4 units?
16 units
8 units
12 units
20 units
A square's perimeter is calculated as 4 times the side length: 4 x 4 = 16 units. Option A is therefore correct.
Which device is used to measure electrical current?
Multimeter
Barometer
Thermometer
Altimeter
A multimeter is a versatile tool that measures current, voltage, and resistance. This makes option A the correct answer.
What is the value of 15% of 200?
20
25
30
35
15% of 200 is calculated as 0.15 x 200, which equals 30. Option C is the correct answer.
Which sentence is grammatically correct?
She don't like ice cream.
She doesn't likes ice cream.
She doesn't like ice cream.
She not like ice cream.
The sentence 'She doesn't like ice cream.' uses the correct contraction and verb form. Therefore, option C is the correct choice.
What is the slope of the line represented by the equation 3x - 6y = 12?
1/2
-1/2
2
-2
Rearranging the equation into slope-intercept form gives y = (1/2)x - 2, indicating a slope of 1/2. This makes option A correct.
Which number is a factor of 36?
5
6
7
8
Since 6 multiplied by 6 equals 36, 6 is a factor of 36. Option B is therefore the correct answer.
If the ratio of blue to red marbles is 3:2 and there are 30 blue marbles, how many red marbles are there?
15
18
20
25
Using the ratio 3:2, the number of red marbles is (2/3) x 30, which equals 20. This makes option C correct.
In electronics, what does the unit 'Ohm' measure?
Current

The Ohm is the standard unit for measuring electrical resistance. Thus, option C is correct.
What is the simplified form of the expression 4(2x + 3) - 2x?
6x + 12
8x + 12
6x - 12
8x - 12
Expanding 4(2x + 3) gives 8x + 12; subtracting 2x results in 6x + 12. Therefore, option A is correct.
Which element in the periodic table has the symbol 'O'?
Oxygen
Gold
Osmium
Zinc
The chemical symbol 'O' represents Oxygen. Option A is the correct answer.
What does the term 'synonym' mean in vocabulary studies?
An antonym of a word
A word that sounds like another word
A word that means the same as another word
A word that has multiple meanings
A synonym is a word that has the same or nearly the same meaning as another word. Thus, option C best fits the definition.
In physics, which principle states that energy cannot be created or destroyed?
Newton's Second Law
Conservation of Energy
Ohm's Law
Hooke's Law
The Conservation of Energy principle states that energy in a closed system remains constant. This makes option B the correct response.
If 3x + 2 = 2x + 7, what is the value of x?
3
5
7
9
Subtracting 2x from both sides results in x + 2 = 7, and further subtracting 2 gives x = 5. Therefore, option B is correct.
A rectangular garden has a length that is twice its width. If the perimeter is 36 units, what is the area of the garden?
72
60
48
84
Let the width be w and length be 2w. The perimeter is 2(w + 2w) = 6w = 36, so w = 6 and length = 12. Multiplying width and length, 6 x 12 gives an area of 72 square units, making option A correct.
In a reading comprehension passage, an author implies that technological progress can lead to social isolation. Which inferred statement best aligns with this idea?
Technological progress always improves social connections.
Technological innovations have no impact on society.
Advancements in technology can sometimes diminish human interaction.
Technology solely promotes positive social outcomes.
The passage suggests that while technology can offer convenience, it may reduce face-to-face interactions. Option C best reflects the implied notion that technological advances might lead to social isolation.
Which of the following expressions is equivalent to (x² - 9)/(x - 3) for x ≠ 3?
x - 3
x + 3
x² + 3
x + 9
The numerator x² - 9 factors into (x + 3)(x - 3). Canceling the common factor (x - 3) leaves x + 3, making option B correct.
An electric circuit has resistors connected in series with resistances of 5Ω, 10Ω, and 15Ω. What is the total resistance?
30Ω
15Ω
25Ω
35Ω
In a series circuit, resistances add directly. Thus, 5Ω + 10Ω + 15Ω equals 30Ω, confirming that option A is correct.

ASVAB Pretest Practice Cheat Sheet

  1. Master the Order of Operations - PEMDAS is your secret code to tackling tricky math expressions: do Parentheses first, then Exponents, follow up with Multiplication/Division (left to right), and finish with Addition/Subtraction the same way. This system keeps you on track, so you won't mix up steps or get wild results. For example, solve 7 × (5 − 2)² − 15 ÷ 3 × 2 in just the right order to score big on calculations. Crunch your calculations with confidence!
  2. Understand Absolute Value - Think of absolute value as a math compass that always points positively: it measures how far a number is from zero on the number line. So |−7| becomes 7, and |7| stays 7. This handy concept comes in clutch when you solve equations involving distances or temperature swings. Zero in on your absolute value skills!
  3. Learn Exponents and Their Rules - Exponents are like shortcut multipliers: multiplying powers with the same base adds the exponents (x² × x³ = x❵), while dividing subtracts them (x❵ ÷ x² = x³). Remember, any nonzero number raised to the power of zero always equals one, making x❰ = 1 your go‑to fallback. Master these rules, and you'll breeze through growth and decay problems. Power up your exponent game!
  4. Practice Fractions Operations - Fractions don't have to be scary! To add or subtract, find a common denominator; to multiply, just multiply across the numerators and denominators; to divide, flip the second fraction and multiply by its reciprocal. For instance, ⅔ ÷ ¾ becomes ⅔ × 4/3 = 8/9 in no time. Slice through fractions like a pro!
  5. Familiarize Yourself with Factorials - Factorials (n!) multiply every positive integer up to that n, so 5! = 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 = 120, making permutations and combinations much more manageable. Use factorials when counting ways to arrange books on a shelf or choosing team lineups. Don't let the exclamation point fool you - factorials are excitement generators in probability! Boost your permutation power!
  6. Review Geometry Formulas - Circles are everywhere, and knowing that a circle's area is πr² and its circumference is 2πr lets you conquer any round shape problem. Whether you're designing a wheel or measuring pizza toppings, these formulas keep you in the sweet spot. Sketch a circle, plug in the radius, and watch the numbers roll. Circle around these key formulas!
  7. Master Scientific Notation - Scientific notation tames giant or tiny numbers by rewriting them as a value between 1 and 10 multiplied by a power of 10. For example, 98,760 turns into 9.876 × 10❴, making complex calculations and comparisons a breeze. You'll feel like a mad scientist every time you shrink or expand numbers in a flash. Shrink and stretch numbers like a pro!
  8. Grasp Square and Cube Roots - The square root finds the number that squares back to your original value (√16 = 4), while the cube root digs up the number that cubed pops you back to the start (∛8 = 2). Roots help unlock equations and reveal hidden factors in algebraic puzzles. Root away confusion and see your solutions sprout! Dive into your root studies!
  9. Learn Coordinate Geometry Basics - Plot your path on the x (horizontal) and y (vertical) axes, which meet at the origin (0,0), to map out points, shapes, and lines. The slope‑intercept form y = mx + b lets you calculate slope (m) and y‑intercept (b) in a snap, so drawing graphs becomes child's play. Own the grid and you'll master line mysteries. Graph your success on the coordinate plane!
  10. Review Statistics Fundamentals - Statistics turns raw data into meaningful stories: the mean (average) sums all values then divides by the count, while standard deviation shows how data points stretch or squeeze around that average. Crunch these numbers to interpret surveys, test results, and real‑world trends. Start seeing patterns everywhere you look! Decode data with confidence!
