• Manual Drive Trains and Axles (A3)
• Suspension and Steering (A4)
• Brakes (A5)
• Electricity/Electronics (A6)
• Heating and Air Conditioning (A7)
• Engine Performance (A8)

Each task sheets is easy-to-read and contains the following features:

1. Designated lines for vehicle identification information
2. Designated line for the name of the student technician
3. Step-by-step procedure needed to be performed and space for the student o fill in the specified exact procedure for the vehicle being serviced or tested

5. Includes a grading scale for the instructor to rate the student as to how well the task was performed
6. A place to record the time on task.
7. Each Pearson automotive textbook has a NATEF correlation chart in the appendix and on the Pearson website that correlates each task sheets to the 2013 NATEF tasks. Other correlation charts correlate the task sheets to:
   • The 2008 NATEF Standards- For programs that are NATEF certified under the 2008-2011 standards.
   • The 2012 NATEF Standards - For programs that are NATEF certified under the 2012 standards.
