What to Expect
The Mechanical Reasoning Assessments measure your mechanical aptitude and reasoning abilities using a series of questions referring to everyday situations. These tests have been developed to effectively understand your ability to learn, use and maintain equipment as well as evaluate your ability to understand mechanical and physical concepts.
How to Prepare
The Mechanical Reasoning Assessments are designed to demonstrate your understanding of mechanical and physical concepts by using questions that refer to everyday situations. As such, there’s no specific study required before completing either of these assessments. The best thing you can do to prepare is to ensure you’re in a comfortable, distraction-free environment, and that you have read all the instructions carefully.
