About: Mechanical Reasoning Questions
Mechanical and electrical aptitude tests are commonly administered for engineering and technical positions including the emergency services and the army. They are designed to measure your ability to understand and apply mechanical concepts and principles in order to solve problems. These tests are usually multiple choice and under timed conditions. You will typically have no more than 40 seconds to complete each question.
What is the mechanical reasoning test format?
The questions are typically based on a variety of topics such as: Electrical circuits, pulleys, levers, springs, tools, gears and maps. You will be given an image depicting a mechanical or electrical scenario for which a related question will be asked. These images are likely to include kinetic/potential energy, friction and forces, acceleration, gravity etc. They may also be specific to the sector applied for, meaning they could include a question that refers to a problem or scenario you are likely to encounter in the role you have applied for.
