Mechanical Aptitude

Post by soupdragon »

This comes from one of the RAF forums i belong to, its caused a certain amount of nose thumbing and banter etc from the more technical trades

Mechanical Aptitude

Give it a go and see what you think, it takes about 10 mins to do all the questions. Pass mark is 80% (I crept over the line with 83%!!!!)

I got 88% so I'm happy. Been quite a few years since I did stuff like that during my apprenticeship.
