ATI TEAS 7 Reading Practice Test

1. Raoul has an upcoming school project, and his own computer is not working. He needs to use the library computer, and he has estimated that he will need to be on the computer for approximately an hour and a half. How much of a fee can Raoul expect to pay for his computer use at the library?

A. $6
B. $9
C. $12
D. $15

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Raoul needs to use the computer for 90 minutes. The first 30 minutes are free, so he would pay for the remaining 60 minutes, which is 4 intervals of 15 minutes each. Each 15-minute period incurs a $3 charge, so for 60 minutes, Raoul would pay 4 x $3 = $12. Therefore, Raoul can expect to pay $12 for his computer use at the library. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct calculation based on the provided information.

2. Which of the following shows the correct chronological order of events from the passage?

A. Princess Charlotte Augusta died, Princess Alexandrina Victoria was born, King George IV married Maria Fitzherbert, King George IV married Caroline of Brunswick
B. Princess Alexandrina Victoria was born, King George IV married Maria Fitzherbert, King George IV married Caroline of Brunswick, Princess Charlotte Augusta died
C. King George IV married Maria Fitzherbert, King George IV married Caroline of Brunswick, Princess Charlotte Augusta died, Princess Alexandrina Victoria was born
D. King George IV married Caroline of Brunswick, Princess Charlotte Augusta died, King George IV married Maria Fitzherbert, Princess Alexandrina Victoria was born

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The passage provides a timeline of events related to King George IV, Princess Charlotte Augusta, and Princess Alexandrina Victoria. King George IV secretly married Maria Fitzherbert in 1783 and later married Caroline of Brunswick in 1795. Princess Charlotte Augusta, the daughter of King George IV and Caroline, died in 1817. Princess Alexandrina Victoria, who later became Queen Victoria, was born in 1819. Therefore, the correct chronological order of events is: King George IV married Maria Fitzherbert, King George IV married Caroline of Brunswick, Princess Charlotte Augusta died, and Princess Alexandrina Victoria was born (Choice C). Choices A, B, and D do not follow the correct chronological order as depicted in the passage.

3. Why does the author say it is important to buy locally grown food?

A. Buying locally grown food supports people in your community.
B. Locally grown food travels the least distance to reach you and therefore uses fewer resources.
C. Locally grown food uses less packaging.
D. Locally grown food is healthier for you because it has been exposed to fewer pesticides.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The author stresses the significance of buying locally grown food due to its minimal travel distance, which results in reduced resource utilization. This aligns with the passage's primary environmental theme of conserving resources for the future. Choice A is incorrect because although buying locally grown food can support the community, the main focus in the passage is on resource conservation. Choice C is incorrect as the passage emphasizes the importance of packaging but does not specifically mention that locally grown food uses less packaging. Choice D is incorrect as the health aspect related to fewer pesticides is not discussed in the passage regarding the importance of buying locally grown food.

4. Julie Walker-Mayfield plans to register for fall classes at Chatham College. She works during the day and doesn't get off work until 5:30 PM. She also has no internet access at work and will have to register for classes once she gets home. Taking into account her personal schedule and the registration schedule provided by the college, when will she be able to go online to enter the registration system and select her classes?

A. Monday, 10 AM-12 PM
B. Monday, 5-7 PM
C. Tuesday, 5-7 PM
D. Tuesday, 8-10 PM

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Julie Walker-Mayfield doesn't get off work until 5:30 PM, so she won't be able to register for classes until she gets home. Considering she needs time to unwind after work and settle in, the earliest and most suitable time for her to enter the registration system and select her classes is Tuesday, 5-7 PM. Choice A is incorrect as it falls on Monday, and she gets off work at 5:30 PM. Choices B and D are also incorrect as she needs time to settle in after work before going online to register.

5. When students study character development, setting, and plot, what are they studying?

A. Word analysis
B. Points of view
C. Literary analysis of fictional texts
D. Fluency

Correct answer: C

Rationale: When students study character development, setting, and plot, they are engaging in the analysis of fictional texts. These elements are central to understanding the narrative and how various literary devices are used to convey meaning. Word analysis (choice A) focuses on the study of individual words, which is different from analyzing the broader aspects of a text like character development, setting, and plot. Points of view (choice B) refer to the perspective from which a story is told, which is not the same as studying character development, setting, and plot. Fluency (choice D) pertains to the ability to read with speed, accuracy, and expression, and is not directly related to the analysis of fictional texts.
