What Is the TVA AIR Test?
The AIR (American Institute of Research) Test is a multiple-choice test given to candidates for electricity-related positions at TVA. The test covers Algebra, Reading comprehension, and Mathematical usage. The test takes 96 minutes to complete and is considered difficult to pass.
The AIR categories are:
1. Algebra- This section requires you to solve algebraic equations by finding the values of variables. Questions include arithmetic processes for finding single variables, functions, and polynomials.
2. Number series- This section requires you to decipher the logic of the number series to find a missing value in the series.
3. Reading Comprehension- This section includes paragraphs for you to read, and then give judgement on the truth values of statements- are they true, false, or indeterminably true/false according to the paragraph?
What Is the TVA?
The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) is the largest public power company in the United States. TVA's service area covers all of Tennessee, portions of Alabama, Mississippi, and Kentucky, and small areas of Georgia, North Carolina, and Virginia and provides electricity, manages natural resources, and promotes economic development.
Here are some sample test questions for you to try:
Sample Question #1
Consider the following table:
| X | Y |
| 9 | 1 |
| 18 | 2 |
| 27 | 3 |
| 36 | 4 |
| 45 | 5 |
Which of the following choices represents the same relationship as demonstrated in this table?
Sample Question #2
Find the missing number on the right:
144 | 73 | 18 | 10 | 520 | ?
Sample Question #3
Read the passage below and answer the question:
Last year, road fatalities decreased by 9%. According to the latest figures published by the Department of Transportation today, this year has seen the lowest number of deaths in road traffic since records began. However, road deaths are only the tip of the iceberg because, for every death on US roads, there are 10 serious injuries, such as damage to the brain or spinal cord. Country-by-country statistics show that the number of road deaths per year still varies greatly across the US, with the countries reporting the lowest number of fatalities being California, Oregon, Washington, Vermont, and Maine, with only 30 deaths per million inhabitants. Vulnerable road users such as pedestrians, cyclists, motorcyclists, and users in certain age groups, notably the elderly, are particularly affected by serious road injuries.
