Saskatchewan Air Brake Test 01

If you’re planning on becoming a professional driver in Saskatchewan, it’s essential that you take the Air Brake Endorsement Test. But before taking the official exam, it’s advisable to first take the free Saskatchewan Air Brake practice test. The practice test is designed to help you familiarize yourself with the actual test’s structure and question format, making you feel confident and prepared.

Heat

Friction

Energy

13 / 30

What happens if heat is too great within the brakes?

None of these

The brakes will warp

The brakes will lock up

Braking effectiveness will be lost

14 / 30

What is the definition of reaction time?

The time it takes from the moment a hazard is recognized to the time the brake pedal is applied

None of these

The time it takes from the moment a hazard is recognized to the time the vehicle is stopped

The time it takes from the moment a hazard is recognized to the time the accelerator is released

15 / 30

What is referred to as psi?

Pressure per squashed insertion

Pounds per square inch

Pressure per square inch

None of these

16 / 30

Is the Endorsement A is required when operating trucks with air over hydraulic brakes?

Yes

Only if used on public property

Only is used out of province

17 / 30

What is referred to as brake lag?

The time it takes the brain to recognize you need to move from the accelerator

The time air takes to travel through a properly maintained air brake system

The time it takes to depress the brake pedal

The time it takes the brake to actually stop the vehicle

18 / 30

Which statement is false? Power is maintained by the following...

Use of air

Leverage and air pressure

Mechanically

Oil pressure

19 / 30

What is the typical reaction time?

1 second

20 / 30

What is the typical amount of brake lag?

9/10 of a second

6/10 of a second

4/10 of a second

3/10 of a second

21 / 30

The heat produced is absorbed by the metal brake drums, which dissipate heat by passing it off into...

The atmosphere

Into the brake lines

Back into the brake chambers

The tires

22 / 30

If speed is doubled, stopping power must be increased by...

Ten times

Eight times

Four times

Six times

23 / 30

What is referred to as brake fade?

None of these

Loss of braking efficiency due to overheating the brakes

The improved results of efficient braking
