For example, you could sit an abstract reasoning test without having seen one before and still get a reasonable score. 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. However, mechanical goods of all types are relatively cheaper, less prone to breakdown and often less repairable than they were 20 years ago.
If you feel that this applies to you, then you will need to make some effort to improve your knowledge of everyday tools. You can do this by getting hold of a catalog for a tool hire company and simply reading through it— boring but effective. Copyright www. These questions approximate the type of reasoning and maths that are needed to estimate materials costs etc. You will need to know the formulae for calculating the areas and volumes of simple shapes, as well as familiarity with imperial units including: inches, feet and yards.
For example, you need to know that there are nine square feet in a square yard, something which surprises many people brought up using only metric units! For example, tests used by the fire service tend to frame the questions in terms of fire-fighting whereas tests used to select for an aircraft maintenance job would tend to frame the questions in aviation industry terms.
It is the substance of the question that is important—the scenario is incidental. Circle the letter below the question which corresponds to the correct answer. You are advised to use a calculator. How does gear Y turn? How does bar X move? How does wheel Y turn? What will be the total distance that the springs in parallel are compressed?
Psychometric test before being given access to the application form. It is useful to practise these each week, as you are often only given a few days of notice before having to take the test. Practising questions and sample tests will help to improve the speed and accuracy of your answers. It will also help you become familiar with how to.
Candidates are now faced with a rigorous assessment of their abilities and their personality in the form of a psychometric test. Maximise your performance in under 2 weeks!
