Thank you for posting this, I recently took a maintenance test and told I failed the test. I was shocked being in the field for over 20 years and never failing one before. I found this one and passed it with 100%. I think they may have wrong answers or something as the person I talked with said I scored better then anyone so far but nobody has passed it as yet. They even said I did worse on the A/C portion of the test and I just was certified with the new R410A freon. Go figure

Hi Mary, the pre employment quiz that I have found most useful in hiring maintenance personnel is tools.

A person with a good collection of tools knows how to do many things. The skillful art of maintenance

repairs can not be done with a screw driver in one hand, and a hammer in the other. Also, reading is a

essential part of maintenance skills. The answer to every maintenance problem is written in books, these

books are master repair manuals. I am 2yrs 11mos. late with this answer, but it still works.

Everybody, please see this for the maintenance skills quiz: www.multifamilyinsiders.com/apartment-fo...enance-test?start=20

Did you check the answers to this test? Did you check the age of this test? I would guess it's about 40 years old, as most of them that I have taken are. Things have changed. This test is useless.
Do you know in the United States it is unlawful (Check with a lawyer) for anyone without EPA 608 certification to work with refrigerant since 1992? When was the last time you stuck an electrical meter into a wall socket and got a reading of 110 Volts? If you're female you might have been wearing Go-Go boots at the time.

It is impossible to hire a good quality maintenance person if you personally don't know anything about maintenance.

I took the test and listed my answers VS the answer Key. If we agreed I didn't list the key answers. If we didn't I added an explanation of why I answered the way I did. The test is very OLD and should not be used IMHO.

1. What are two (2) uses for caulking?

A. Sealing seams
B. Around bathtubs
C. Weatherproofing windows
D. Decoration
Me: I don't like caulk at all. It falls off. Key Says "Any two"
2. Five to ten gallons of water should be drained from the water heater spigot:

A. Monthly
B. Yearly
C. Never
D. Quarterly
Me: D.That would depend on the amount of sediment in the water. Key says A or D.
3. All of the following are part of the Maintenance Department's unit turnover procedure, except?

A. Exterminating
B. Cleaning
C. Painting
D. Showing the apartment to a prospect
E. Final inspections
Not D. Managers have to do something. Everything else is a "Maybe."
4. When moving around on the property, you should not take time to pick up trash, etc.

A. True
B. False
Me: B, False, that's a no-brainer.
5. A wax seal is used on the:

A. Kitchen sink trap
B. Tub "P" trap
C. Bathroom stool
D. All of the above
Me: C. This is also a No-brainer assuming that you have heard the bottom of a toilet called a stool. Some might picture a stool as something with 4 legs.
6. When taking resident service requests, it is best to:

A. Write them down on any available piece of paper
B. Trust them to your memory
C. Use the S.O.S. form designed for taking service requests
D. Stop what you are doing and take care of them immediately so they are not forgotten
Me: C. Depends on which way the manager told you to do it.
7. The "heat anticipator" is located in the:

A. Refrigerator
B. Washer
C. Dryer
D. Thermostat
E. Air Conditioner
Me: D, on an OLD, mechanical thermostat it's a coil of resistive wire. A more modern stat uses a therm-resistor and not a heater coil, it's a fine tuning adjustment.
8. Using a 30 amp fuse in a 15 amp circuit will have no ill effect

A. True
B. False
Me: False. Unless the fuse is not the primary over current protection device.
9. Improper grouting or missing grouting around the bathtub could cause:

A. Damage to drywall
B. Water leakage damage
C. Mildew and odors
D. All of the above
Me: D, all of the above. Moisture on your drywall does nasty things.
10. Why should you know the location of all water shutoffs?

A. To perform necessary service
B. To clean out drains
C. In case of an emergency
D. For watering grass
Me: A and or C. Key says A&C
11. What is "Routine Maintenance"?

A. Daily work orders
B. Grounds keeping
C. Unit turnover
D. Record keeping
E. Going to supply house
Me: Where is " All of the above" when we need it? Key says A,B,C,D.
12. Can 110 volt fan motor be used in a 220 volt electric furnace?

A. Yes
B. No
Me: A, so long as the supply volatge to the motor is 110. Leg to neutral voltage would be 110.
13. When patching a hole in an asphalt parking area, you should:

A. Pour tar over the hole
B. Dig out the hole and fill it with asphalt patch mix and pack down firmly
C. Call a contractor
D. Fill with cement and cover with sealer
Me: The answer on the key says B. But these litigious days I'm thinking C.
14. What are the best safety rules that should be strictly obeyed when working with electricity?

A. Wear a rubber suit
B. Turn off power
C. Use insulated tools
D. Stand on an aluminum ladder
Me: B is a must but C isn't a bad idea. Key says B &C.
15. What is the optimum pH level for pools?

A. 6.8 - 7.0
B. 7.2 - 7.4
C. 7.5 - 7.7
Me: The book says B but you would be wise to trust the inspector who will shut your pool down.
16. What is "Preventative Maintenance"?

A. Servicing items to prevent future failure
B. Semi-annual scheduling of services
C. Cleaning apartments
D. Shoveling snow
Me: A. Answer key says A & B but what good does just scheduling do?
17. Excessive hot water temperatures will deteriorate faucet washers quickly.

A. Yes
B. No
Me: A. The test is showing its age again. There are not a lot of two handle faucets these days.
18. Fatal chlorine gas can be formed by mixing:

A. Bleach and cleanser
B. Bleach and ammonia
C. Ammonia and oven cleaner
D. Ammonia and muriatic acid
Me: All of them produce nasty reactions. B is the most common mixture. Key says B or D.
19. When a circuit breaker trips or a fuse blows, it is usually for the following reason(s):

A. Bad breaker
B. Defective appliance
C. Overload
D. Short circuit
Me: Another name for fuse or breaker is "Overcurrent Protection Device" so, C. Key says C&D. A short circuit will cause an overload.
20. When making a service call in a resident's apartment, the following guidelines should be observed:

A. If the request cannot be handled in 24 hours time, the resident should be informed and given an indication of when service will be done
B. Make sure the resident is present when the job is being done
C. Clean the work area after the service call
Me: A, would be according to Building policy, B is not always possible, so C. Key says A&C
21. The major function(s) of air conditioning and central heating systems are:

A. Heating
B. Cooling
C. Cleaning the air
D. Humidity control
E. All of the above
Me: Because it says "Major Function" I'd go with A and B. Key says E.
