Electronics Information Practice Test for the ASVAB & PiCAT

In this video, Grammar Hero reviews what you need to know about basic electronics in order to do well on the Electronics Information (EI) subtest of the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) as well as the Pre-screening internet-delivered Computer Adaptive Test (PiCAT), including how to perform basic calculations using Ohm's law.

More specifically, he works out 16 practice test questions that should closely mirror the questions in Electronics Information (EI) subtest.

In order to get the most from this video, you should pause the video after he reads a practice test question, attempt to work out the practice test question on your own, and then resume playing the video to check your solution.

1:31 ASVAB/PiCAT Practice Test Question 1 to 16: Electronics Information (EI)

The Electronics Information subtest of the ASVAB covers fundamental electrical concepts and electronic devices. Here's a breakdown of how to study for it:  

1. Understand Core Concepts

Electricity Basics:
Voltage: The electrical potential difference between two points.  
Current: The flow of electrical charge (measured in amperes).  
Resistance: The opposition to the flow of current (measured in ohms).  
Ohm's Law: This fundamental law relates voltage, current, and resistance: Voltage = Current x Resistance (V = I x R)  
Power: The rate at which electrical energy is transferred (measured in watts).  
Direct Current (DC): Current that flows in one direction only.  
Alternating Current (AC): Current that periodically reverses direction.  
Circuits:
Series Circuits: Components are connected in a single loop.  
Parallel Circuits: Components are connected across each other.  
Circuit Diagrams: Learn to read and interpret electrical symbols.
Electronic Components:
Resistors: Limit current flow.  
Capacitors: Store electrical energy.  
Inductors: Oppose changes in current.  
Diodes: Allow current to flow in only one direction.  
Transistors: Amplify or switch electronic signals.  

2. Utilize Study Resources
ASVAB Study Guides: Many resources are available, both in print and online. Look for guides specifically designed for the Electronics Information subtest.  
Practice Tests: Take numerous practice tests to familiarize yourself with the question format and identify areas for improvement.  
Online Resources: Websites and apps offer practice questions, explanations, and interactive learning modules.  
Flashcards: Create flashcards to memorize key terms, formulas, and electrical symbols.

3. Focus on Key Areas
Electrical Symbols: Be able to identify and understand the function of common electrical symbols.
Circuit Analysis: Practice analyzing simple circuits to determine voltage, current, and resistance.  
Electronic Devices: Learn the basic function and applications of common electronic components.
Units of Measurement: Familiarize yourself with units of measurement for electrical quantities (volts, amperes, ohms, watts).

4. Study Consistently
Create a Study Schedule: Dedicate regular time slots for studying.  
Break Down Topics: Divide the material into smaller, more manageable chunks.
Review Regularly: Periodically review previously learned material to reinforce your understanding.

Remember: The key to success on the Electronics Information subtest is consistent effort, a solid understanding of fundamental concepts, and sufficient practice.
