GENERAL TECHNICAL TEST /EXAMPLE/

The General Technical Preparation test includes test questions from four areas of knowledge: "Mathematics", "Machine elements and technical drawing", "Informatics" and
"Electrical and Electronics".

In the "Mathematics" section, simple problems are included, aimed at checking the ability of prospective students to make spatial and numerical inferences, yes
think analytically and abstractly.

In the Machine Elements and Technical Drawing section, questions from the following are included directions:
• rendering of machine elements;
• dimensioning of drawings and sketches;
• types of joints - bolted, riveted, pressed, etc.;
• bearings;
• connectors;
• gears.

For good preparation, it is necessary to pay attention to the purpose of machine elements and construction features. The Informatics section includes questions related to:
• use of basic software products (Windows, Word, Excel);
• device and operation of the main elements of computer systems;
• basics of programming.

The Electrical and Electronics section includes questions from the following directions:
