Sample EAU Entrance Exam Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the EAU Entrance Exam exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1In an arithmetic progression, the first term is 5 and the common difference is 3. What is the 20th term of this progression?
A.62
B.59
C.65
D.68
Explanation: The n-th term of an arithmetic progression is given by a_n = a_1 + (n - 1)d. Substituting the given values, a_20 = 5 + (20 - 1) * 3 = 5 + 19 * 3 = 5 + 57 = 62.
2What are the roots of the quadratic equation 2x^2 - 7x + 3 = 0?
A.x = 1/2 and x = 3
B.x = -1/2 and x = -3
C.x = 1 and x = 3/2
D.x = -1 and x = 6
Explanation: Factoring 2x^2 - 7x + 3 = 0 gives (2x - 1)(x - 3) = 0. Setting each factor to zero yields 2x - 1 = 0 => x = 1/2, and x - 3 = 0 => x = 3.
3Given two 3D vectors A = 3i - 4j + 2k and B = 2i + j - 3k, what is their scalar (dot) product A · B?
A.-4
B.6
C.-8
D.4
Explanation: The dot product is computed as A · B = (3)(2) + (-4)(1) + (2)(-3) = 6 - 4 - 6 = -4.
4What is the derivative of the function f(x) = (3x^2 - 5x + 2)^3 evaluated at x = 2?
A.336
B.112
C.48
D.672
Explanation: Using the chain rule, f'(x) = 3(3x^2 - 5x + 2)^2 * (6x - 5). At x = 2: 3(2)^2 - 5(2) + 2 = 12 - 10 + 2 = 4, and 6(2) - 5 = 7. Thus, f'(2) = 3 * (4)^2 * 7 = 3 * 16 * 7 = 336.
5Evaluate the definite integral: int_0^2 (4x^3 - 6x + 5) dx.
A.14
B.18
C.10
D.22
Explanation: The antiderivative is [x^4 - 3x^2 + 5x]. Evaluating from 0 to 2: (2^4 - 3(2^2) + 5(2)) - 0 = (16 - 12 + 10) = 14.
6What is the limit of (x^2 - 4) / (x - 2) as x approaches 2?
A.4
B.0
C.2
D.Undefined
Explanation: Factor the numerator as (x - 2)(x + 2). For x != 2, (x^2 - 4)/(x - 2) = x + 2. Taking the limit as x -> 2 yields 2 + 2 = 4.
7What is the determinant of the 2x2 matrix with rows [3, 2] and [5, 4]?
A.2
B.22
C.-2
D.14
Explanation: For a 2x2 matrix [[a, b], [c, d]], the determinant is ad - bc. Here, (3)(4) - (2)(5) = 12 - 10 = 2.
8If sin(theta) = 3/5 and theta lies in Quadrant II (pi/2 < theta < pi), what is the value of tan(theta)?
A.-3/4
B.3/4
C.-4/3
D.4/5
Explanation: In Quadrant II, cosine is negative: cos(theta) = -sqrt(1 - sin^2(theta)) = -sqrt(1 - 9/25) = -4/5. Therefore, tan(theta) = sin(theta) / cos(theta) = (3/5) / (-4/5) = -3/4.
9Evaluate the logarithmic expression: log_2(32) + log_3(1/27) - log_10(100).
A.0
B.2
C.-2
D.4
Explanation: log_2(32) = 5 (since 2^5 = 32), log_3(1/27) = -3 (since 3^(-3) = 1/27), and log_10(100) = 2 (since 10^2 = 100). Thus, 5 + (-3) - 2 = 0.
10What is the Euclidean distance between points P(2, -3) and Q(-1, 1) in the Cartesian plane?
A.5
B.sqrt(7)
C.sqrt(13)
D.7
Explanation: Using the distance formula d = sqrt((x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2) = sqrt((-1 - 2)^2 + (1 - (-3))^2) = sqrt((-3)^2 + 4^2) = sqrt(9 + 16) = sqrt(25) = 5.

About the EAU Entrance Exam Exam

Prepare for the Ethiopian Aviation University (EAU) Undergraduate Entrance Examination with our free 100-question practice test. This English-language MCQ study adaptation is built upon the FDRE Ministry of Education Grade 11–12 natural science curriculum (Mathematics, Physics, and English) and applied aviation physics principles. Passing this exam is required alongside the national university entrance cutoff for admission to EAU's BSc programs in Aeronautical Engineering, Aircraft Maintenance Engineering, Aviation Management & Operations, BA in Tourism and Hospitality Management, and AMT technical courses. Note: This is an independent study tool and not an official EAU examination paper.

Exam sponsor: Ethiopian Aviation University (EAU), Ethiopian Airlines Group. The requirements and fees below concern the certification or admission exam, separate from our free practice resources.

2Practice multi-step numerical calculations without a calculator, focusing on unit conversions, scientific notation, and algebraic manipulation.
3Review basic aeronautical physics concepts such as Bernoulli's principle, lift generation, drag forces, and pressure differentials.
4Sharpen English technical reading comprehension and grammar, as EAU delivers instruction entirely in English and expects high language proficiency.
5Work through timed problem sets to build speed and accuracy under exam conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Ethiopian Aviation University (EAU) Undergraduate Entrance Examination?

It is an institutional entrance examination administered by Ethiopian Aviation University (formerly Ethiopian Airlines Aviation Academy). Local candidates must pass this exam in addition to achieving the national university entrance cutoff set by the Ministry of Education to secure admission into EAU undergraduate degree and aircraft maintenance technician (AMT) programs.

Which programs require the EAU entrance examination?

The examination is required for undergraduate degree programs including BSc in Aeronautical Engineering, BSc in Aircraft Maintenance Engineering, BSc in Aviation Management & Operations, BA in Tourism and Hospitality Management, and diploma technician courses in Aircraft Maintenance (AMT), Avionics, Aircraft Structure, and Powerplant Maintenance.

What subjects are tested on the EAU entrance exam?

EAU does not publish a syllabus, blueprint, item count or pass mark for the entrance examination, so no source can state the exact subject split. What EAU does publish is the entry basis: degree entry is restricted to natural-science-stream applicants, international entry to the engineering degrees requires four years of Mathematics and Physics, and the AMT technician track requires at least 50% in each of Mathematics, Physics and English Language. This bank is therefore built from the FDRE Ministry of Education Grade 11–12 Mathematics, Physics and English syllabi plus aviation-relevant applied physics.

Is this practice test an official EAU paper?

No. This practice bank is an independent English-language MCQ study aid created to help candidates prepare for the academic and scientific foundation tested on the entrance examination. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Ethiopian Aviation University or Ethiopian Airlines Group.

What are the application fees and schedule for EAU admissions?

EAU charges a non-refundable application fee of ETB 400 for Ethiopian applicants and USD 50 for international applicants. For the 2026/2027 intake, application deadlines were scheduled for early September 2026, with entrance examinations held in mid-September ahead of October classes.
