[QUOTE="Baluncore, post: 6867465, member: 447632"] I flew through a set of questions, expecting to trip up, and realised that there were several possible answers to each. I know that is what multiple choice is, but in many cases, with A, B or C as the answer, I could see several reasons or special cases, where each could be correct, depending on the interpretation of the non-technical language, the level of detail in the sketches, my depth of analysis, and the deliberate logical-inversion of double negatives in some of the questions. It seems to be testing the connections in your brain between your understanding of text, the 2D graphic you see, your spatial imagination of change, your mechanical experience, and your ability to reason between all six at once. The test seems devoid of numbers or arithmetic, so they are looking for natural talent or intuition, not technical experience. I would methodically; Glance at the picture. Read the words of the question. Look for logical inversions in the text. Look back, to check that the picture has not changed in my mind. Read the text question again to check it is the same in my mind. Avoid analysing the situation too deeply. Identify the simple principle they are testing. Eliminate the silly answer(s). Select the obvious answer they want. Move on. [/QUOTE]
