01Automotive Workshop Safety
Automotive workshop safety checks whether you can recognise hazards and act safely in a live bay. Expect questions on personal protective equipment (PPE), fire classes, lifting, housekeeping, fume control and emergency response.
322 words, about 2 min02Tools and Equipment
This domain tests correct selection, safe use and care of hand tools, lifting equipment, torque tools and measuring instruments. Questions often ask why a tool is chosen or what damage follows misuse.
330 words, about 2 min03Automotive Engine Systems and Components
Engine questions cover the four-stroke cycle, major castings and moving parts, valve train, compression, firing order and the support systems that keep the engine running. Four-stroke petrol cycle: intake, compression, power, exhaust.
269 words, about 1 min04Transmission, Clutch, Gearbox and Driveline
This domain tests how engine torque reaches the wheels: clutch operation, manual gearbox layout, final drive and differential, propeller shafts, universal joints and drive shafts. The clutch connects and disconnects engine and gearbox.
272 words, about 1 min05Braking, Steering and Suspension Systems
Questions cover hydraulic braking, disc and drum brakes, ABS, steering geometry, rack-and-pinion steering, springs, shock absorbers and alignment angles. Hydraulic pressure from the master cylinder operates calipers or wheel cylinders.
278 words, about 1 min06Automotive Electrical and Electronic Systems
This domain tests basic electricity, battery and charging systems, starting, lighting, fuses, relays, sensors, electronic control units and simple circuit diagnosis. Ohm's law: voltage equals current times resistance.
262 words, about 1 min07Fuel, Lubrication and Cooling Systems
This domain covers petrol and diesel fuel delivery, air-fuel ratio, engine oil and filters, lubrication circuits, coolant flow, thermostat operation and overheating diagnosis. Petrol stoichiometric air-fuel ratio is about 14.7:1 by mass; rich mixtures increase power but raise emissions and carbon deposits.
280 words, about 1 min08Vehicle Body, Chassis and Frame
This domain tests body construction, chassis and frame layout, collision energy management, panel alignment, corrosion protection and safe body repair. Body-on-frame construction uses a separate ladder frame; monocoque or unibody construction uses the body shell as the load-bearing structure.
245 words, about 1 min09Automotive Materials, Fasteners and Measurement
Questions cover ferrous and non-ferrous metals, plastics, material properties, bolt grades, thread types, washers, locking methods and precision measuring tools. Steel and cast iron are ferrous; aluminium, copper and brass are non-ferrous.
238 words, about 1 min10Vehicle Maintenance, Servicing and Troubleshooting
This domain tests scheduled servicing, fluid checks, inspection routines, job cards, diagnostic logic and verifying repairs. Follow the manufacturer's service schedule for engine oil, filters, brake fluid, coolant, belts, tyres and battery checks.
235 words, about 1 min11Workplace Communication, Employability and Entrepreneurship
This domain tests technical communication, customer handling, teamwork, job readiness and the basic business skills needed to run a small automotive workshop. Listen actively, repeat the customer's complaint back, and record it in plain language on the job card.
261 words, about 1 min12Environmental Health, Safety and Waste Management
This domain tests workshop environmental responsibility, hazardous-waste segregation, safe storage, spill control, occupational health and legal disposal routes. Segregate waste at source: used oil, oil filters, batteries, coolant, solvents, tyres and metal scrap must not be mixed.
