I taken a mechanical test yesterday for a major corporation, which I scored 100% on the test. If it wasn't for the knowledge in this book, I probably would have a significantly lower score.FOUR Stars, why not FIVE stars? This book would be perfect IF, the writers explained the mathematical formulas better, as in breaking it down to a elementary level. Such as trying to balance a fulcrum or trying to figure out RPMs on gears.Breaking it down better by explaining what to combine, what to multiply, what to divide.This book WILL help you out with military, civil service and corporate mechanical aptitude tests. Also I recommend this book to anyone that are considering careers in the construction trades or just want to brush-up on their math skills.
The explanations are little or nonexistent, however the amount of problems available to practice with will help your mechanical abilities. I was horrible at this stuff prior to using this book, now I can say that I am not.
The pictures for the spatial test are some of the worst I have ever seen. The items are not drawn to the correct scale to fit together, many "different" shapes are identical because of how bad the print quality is, some questions have multiple right answers but claim only one is right. I believe that has to do with how horribly they executed the pictures for the spatial tests. Some of the tests at the beginning are ok, but when you go on they're trash.
I like the book. this book was a sugestion through a testing agency and I think it will help. I had failed the test without being able to use the book. I can tell it will help with what I had seen on the test. I think it will really help anyone.
Someone else has stated this, but it's so true. Some of the "correct" answers can't be correct! The quality of the print skews the objects. I have looked at my answer and the "correct" answer so many times and have been so frustrated because the book is obviously wrong.
Used this for the Valero Test and passed because of this book.
I purchased this book to help me prepare for the Dental Admission Test, specifically the Perceptual Ability part. I highly recommend it; the book offers thorough explanations to Perceptual Ability questions and helped me think about the PAT the right way. It literally broke the ground for me in the PAT section and gave me ideas how to structure my studying for the PAT.
I got it because I needed it for a test for a job, but its way outdated and had nothing to do with the test I took. Maybe there is a more recent version?
