7.) A Feature Control Frame is:
☐ a) A symbolic means of expressing the type of control on a feature as well as the tolerance for that
feature
☒ b) A box on the drawing that dictates how to manufacture the part
☐ c) A symbol that dictates the tolerance position for a part feature
☐ d) A box on the drawing that the inspector uses to determine which critical dimensions must be
verified every time the part is produced.

8.) A Datum Reference Frame is:

☐ a) A set of “target points” that measurements are made from
☐ b) An arbitrary coordinate system used to align a part
☐ c) A symbol on the drawing that specifies a features allowable tolerance
☒ d) A set of Datums used to specify a datum feature in order of precedence as listed in a feature
control frame.

9.)What is the difference between a Datum and a Datum feature?

☐ a) A Datum Feature is theoretical and a Datum is real
☒ b) A Datum Feature is real and a Datum is theoretical
☐ c) A Datum and Datum Feature are the same
☐ d) A Datum Feature is a surface feature, a Datum is a feature size

10.) Match the Geometric Characteristic Symbol with its description:

Straightness M
Flatness E
Circularity H
Cylindricity F
Profile of a Line G
Profile of a Surface N
Perpendicularity A

Concentricity L
Symmetry J

11.) What is “Rule #1” and how does it affect Flatness, Straightness, perpendicularity and true position?
☐ a) If specified using MMC next to the tolerances in a feature control frame, then size tolerance
controls form. This affects flatness, straightness, perpendicularity and position.
☐ b) Size tolerance directly controls form tolerance. This rule has no effect on flatness, straightness,
perpendicularity or true position
☒ c) Form of a feature must always be perfect but has no effect on perpendicularity
☐ d) Where only a tolerance is specified, the limits of size of an individual feature of size control the form
of the feature as well as the size. Rule applies to Flatness and straightness but not perpendicularity or
true position.

12.)What is the correct definition of Regardless of Feature Size?

☐ a) Regardless of where a feature of size lies within its size tolerance, the tolerance of size must be
met
☐ b) Control placed on a feature of size stating that the tolerance of form or position must be met
regardless of where the feature lies within its form tolerance.
☐ c) Regardless of where a feature of size lies within its form tolerance, the tolerance of size must be
met
☒ d) Control placed on a feature of size stating that the geometric tolerance must be met regardless of
where the feature lies within its size tolerance

13.) True Position Tolerance is defined as:

☐ a) A boundary located at true position that may not be violated by the surface or surfaces of the
considered feature, if the position is on an MMC or LMC basis.
☐ b) A predefined zone where the center, axis or center plane of a feature of size is permitted to vary
from its perfect form position
☒ c) Both a) and b)
☐ d) Neither a) nor b)

14.)What is a “Material Control Modifier”?

☐ a) A symbol placed on a feature of size that states how much tolerance is available for that feature
☐ b) The minimum dimension possible according to the tolerance specified.
☒ c) A symbol (or lack thereof) placed in a feature control frame that indicates how much, or if, any extra
geometric tolerance is available for the feature as the actual mating size of the feature changes.
☐ d) The maximum dimension possible according to the tolerance specified

What is MMC Virtual Condition?

15.)
☐ a) The largest external feature (boss), or the smallest internal feature (hole)
☐ b) The perfectly formed envelope that just fits around (or inside of) a feature of size
☐ c) The perfect form and position of a feature
☒ d) Collective effect of the MMC limit of size of a feature of size and any applicable geometric tolerance

21.)What effect does properly implemented GD&T have on the manufacturing process?
☐ a) It defines the Datum references that must be used by manufacturing to fixture and create the part
☐ b) It doesn’t. GD&T is just a way to illustrate how inspectors are supposed to inspect parts
☐ c) It creates extra tolerance that did not physically exist without using GD&T
☒ d) It better defines design requirements, increases the availability of tolerances, and is a
communication tool used between design, engineering, manufacturing and inspection to reduce costs.
