Sample B3 questions

Straight from the bank — answers highlighted, with the explanation underneath.

Damage that appears at a location away from the point of impact, produced as collision energy travels through the vehicle's structure, is known as:

  1. Direct damage
  2. Indirect damage
  3. Access damage
  4. Work-hardened damage
WhyIndirect damage shows up away from where the object struck because energy dissipates through the structure. The estimator must locate and correct it even though it is not at the point of contact.

Two technicians discuss high-strength steel (HSS). Technician A says HSS should be heated and straightened the same as mild steel because it responds the same way. Technician B says many HSS and all UHSS/boron parts have strict heat limits or must be replaced per OEM. Who is correct?

  1. Technician A only
  2. Technician B only
  3. Both Technicians A and B
  4. Neither Technician
WhyTechnician B is correct. HSS loses strength when overheated, and UHSS/boron typically cannot be heated or straightened at all; OEM procedures dictate limited cold repair or replacement.

A repaired panel 'pops' in and out with light hand pressure (oil-canning). This symptom MOST likely indicates the metal is:

  1. Work hardened
  2. Stretched
  3. Annealed
  4. Corroded
WhyOil-canning is caused by excess surface area from stretched metal; the panel has no stable position and snaps between two shapes. The stretch must be shrunk to restore a stable contour.
