Hi gang, This might sound severely retarded, but I have a Mechanical Aptitude test next Wednesday for a Heavy Vehicle Apprenticeship. It's gonna be conducted on a computer. Is there any way to practice these things : ?Never done one before.

You should be ok. Its just lika an IQ test but more for your problem solving\ mechanical part of the brain.

I did one a few years ago, most of the stuff is just basic mechanical knowledge stuff, like what is a manifold. Might be some basic maths stuff too.

Most of the mechanical aptitude tests that I have done (and I have done a few!) have been things like, if weight a moves down, what direction does pulley 3 rotate?, if lever 2 is moved in x direction what direction will lever 6 move?, If the container weighs x kg, which pulley set will take the least effort to lift it. which fulcrum will take the least effort to lift weight x ..... etc.
