Hi,

I was wondering if anybody had the MCQ for the past APPC Mech exams. I'm in the process of studying for my final next week, and it would be a good review.
I found the FRQ, but do they not release MCQ? I thought they released mcq for all exams, but I might be wrong-

Please let me know- the sooner, the better!

Thank you guys

Just out of curiosity, where do people use those acronyms? I'm pretty sure I've never seen them on this forum, in my 20 or so years here.

My teacher uses them- I'm not sure if everybody else does though
 
Best to avoid using acronyms in the first instance. I thought you were referring to some kind of certification exam for mechanical engineers that I don't know about.

To your question, usually the people who make the test try to keep a monopoly on the questions. You probably want free, but have you looked to see if the test provider sells a booklet of questions?
