Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.

8. A turn where one wheel rotates forward and the other rotates backward - causing the robot to sit and spin in place






9. The people available for work in a particular area - firm - or industry






10. A swing back and forth at a regular rate






11. A control flow statement that allows code to be executed repeatedly






12. Anything your robot does; turning no a motor is a behavior - following a line is a behavior - navigating a maze is a behavior






13. A turn where one wheel rotates and the other stays in place - causing the robot's body to 'swing around the stationary wheel

15. Opposite in position - direction - order - or effect






16. A community - nation - or broad grouping of people having common traditions - institutions - and collective activities and interests






17. Pertaining to or operated by air or other gas






18. The use of technology to ease human labor or to extend the mental or physical capabilities of humans






19. The ability to do work






20. A person who writes and tests computer programs






21. Using computers to operate and control machines and processes to manufacture a product
