Study and Practice for the AST Ministry Exam

Graphic representations (multiview orthogonal projection, isometry and perspective),  scale uses and diagram drawings can also be assessed.

1. Highlight important information in the question.
2. Try to answer the question before reading the choices.
3. In a multiple-choice question, the wrong answers are generally the results you get by making classic errors, such as incorrectly isolating the variable or forgetting a calculation step.
   Example: Calculating useful energy instead of dissipated energy.
4. Annotate the graphs and diagrams.
5. Annotate the statements, indicating whether they are true or false.
6. Even if one of the statements seems right, check all the statements in the question.
7. Eliminate the possible answers by crossing them out or adding an X in the margin.
8. Check that you’ve answered all the questions.

1. Write complete sentences.
2. Uses appropriate scientific vocabulary.
   Example: Use the terms upstream and downstream for a question about watersheds.
3. Show your work (mathematical process).
4. When a question requires a mathematical process, start by identifying the data and associating them with the corresponding variables. Next, convert the data if necessary (e.g., convert minutes to seconds), then determine which formula to use.
5. Reread the question to make sure you’ve answered it correctly.
   Example: Answering with the amount of energy consumed instead of identifying the appliance that consumes the least energy.

1. Watch the entire video at least once before reading the questions.
2. Pay attention to the names of the parts identified in the object’s drawings.
3. Write complete sentences.
4. Use appropriate technological vocabulary.
5. To describe the interaction between the components, write your answer naming the components in the same order as in the question.
6. The disassembling of the technical object can give you clues about the characteristics of the links.
7. A link always has 4 out of 8 characteristics.
