An image of a drag-and-drop sample test question for the ACA for CAD for Mechanical Design exam. The image includes a timer at the top to illustrate the timer included in the live exam. The sample question reads Drag each file type and place it in the landing box next to its full name. The exhibit includes four boxes on the left; box 1 shows perpendicular, box 2 shows a circle in a circle, box 3 show a triangle, box 4 shows horizontal parallel lines. The answer area includes four terms meant to be matched with the 4 boxes on the left; these terms read Initial Midpoint, Equal, Horizontal/Vertical, and Concentric.

Answer key

  • Midpoint - A
  • Equal - B
  • Horizontal/Vertical - C
  • Concentric - D

 

Hot area 

Hot-area questions measure your ability by asking you to select “hot” areas of an exhibit. Hot-area items are essentially multiple-choice items with graphical answer choices.
