Mechanical Reasoning—PRactice test 1 Psychometric Success Mechanical Reasoning Practice Test 1 Authors: Paul Newton Helen Bristoll Copyright Page  Mechanical Reasoning—PRactice test 1 echanical reasoning tests measure your knowledge of straightforward Mmechanical and physical concepts. They do not measure your underlying mechanical aptitude in the same way that abstract reasoning questions measure your underlying intellectual ability. For example, you could sit an abstract reasoning test without having seen one before and still get a reasonable score. The same is not true of mechanical reasoning where your score will depend significantly on your knowledge of: • Levers • Pulleys • Gears • Springs • Simple Electrical Circuits • Tools • Shop Arithmetic You may have come across: levers, pulleys, gears, springs and simple circuits in elementary science and the questions on these topics are fairly straightforward. If elementary science classes seem like a long time ago and you need to refresh your memory then read ‘Mechanical Reasoning Tests—What You Need to Know’ before you attempt these practice tests. If you are taking a test as part of the selection for a craft or apprenticeship job, then you may be asked some questions about tools and how they are used. These questions are again straightforward and if you have spent significant time fixing or making things, they won’t present any problems. However, mechanical goods of all types are relatively cheaper, less prone to breakdown and often less repairable than they were 20 years ago. This means that many people under 30 years of age don’t have much practical experi
