Download Practice Tests > Mechanical Reasoning Tests |
|||||||||||||
| Mechanical reasoning tests are designed to assess your knowledge of physical and mechanical principles. Mechanical reasoning questions vary widely in difficulty from test to test and because of this it is not easy to produce a practice test applicable to everyone. You may find that some of the questions in the practice tests available on this website are too detailed and difficult for your needs. | |
If you are taking a mechanical reasoning test as part of the selection process for the emergency services or the military then the questions you can expect will tend to concentrate on principles rather than on making calculations. For example, you may be shown 3 diagrams of a lever and asked which one is the most efficient. If however, you are taking a test for a craft or technical job then you may be expected to calculate the actual force required to move a particular lever. In this case, knowing the principle is not enough, you need to know the formula. The practice tests available at the moment are most applicable to technical and engineering jobs. Mechanical reasoning tests are used to select for a wide range of jobs including the military (Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery), police forces, fire services, as well as many craft, technical and engineering occupations.
This sample question paper contains 20 questions and has a suggested time limit of 15 minutes. The questions are presented in Letter/A4 format for easy printing and self-marking. |
