[QUOTE="Freyja, post: 6867363, member: 401771"] Hi, and thanks for your answer. I do know what type of questions can be expected, and I also do know the basic principles behind them (at least I think I do), but for a little background on me, I haven't performed a test since I got out of technical school, over 10 years ago. I studied a 2 year degree on Marine Engineering, which included subjects like Thermodynamics, Ship Theory, Refrigeration, Fluid Mechanics, Electricity, and such, and the shop work (machining, welding, etc.). While I think I did pretty good on all those subjects, and I absolutely loved studying them, then life happened, and due to severe trauma and some horrible events my mind isn't what it used to be. I tend to overthink and get overwhelmed much more easily than I would care for, and my brain is always in overdrive mode, that's its natural, normal state right now. I certainly don't want to trick the test. I don't know how anybody would do such thing, as there are a million different ways to ask the same question, so memory is definitely out of the equation here; not that I would have any use for it anyway, since my brain just doesn't work that way; I can memorize the basics of course, like we all do, but then I apply reasoning to use those basics. With that being said, I don't want the test to trick me, and that's what I intended to say in my previous post. With the added constrains of timing, it is very easy to misread, heck even assume the question being asked, and of course, give the wrong answer. That's why I would like to practice. Tons and tons of questions, one after the other, in order to get used to the dynamics of this test, and to improve whatever I need to improve. My world as I knew it already collapsed a long time ago, but I'm still in this realm and have some dearly loved folks I need to make proud, so here I am. This test simply would open a door for a practical paid apprenticeship that I would like to obtain while still making a decent living through my work. In sum, I'm not asking for any "privileges" or anything I don't deserve. I'm not that type of person, believe me. But I'll be damned if I don't use my brains and thinking capabilities to try to tackle this with the best strategies. Just like everybody else would. [/QUOTE]
