ABOUT MECHANICAL COMPREHENSION TESTS
WHAT’S THE PASS MARK?
We get asked on many occasions what is the pass mark for the test I am sitting? Whilst many test administrators will set a pass mark of 70% the simple answer is we do not know. This is because it is not uncommon for an employer or test administrator to set the pass mark based on an average score for group of people taking the test.
This enables the employer or test administrator to pick the upper quartile of test takers, ensuring they get the cream of the crop. The other matter to consider is that your scores in the mechanical comprehension test will normally go towards you overall score in an assessment; so, if you don’t do too well in one particular test this does not necessarily mean you will fail the entire assessment!
MECHANICAL COMPREHENSION TOP TIPS
TOP TIP 1
The majority of employers will assess youron speed and accuracy. Therefore, you are advised against random ‘guessing’. In order to stop this practice more and more test administrators are deducting marks for incorrect answers.
Therefore, during your preparation for your assessment I recommend you simply practice lots of test questions but more importantly understand how the answer is reached.
TOP TIP 2
Whilst on the subject of multiple-choice questions, you will most probably find that there are more mechanical comprehension test questions than you can answer during the allocated time given for the test. If this is the case, do not worry.
Many tests are designed so that you do not finish them. Once again, simply work as fast as you can but also aim for accuracy.
TOP TIP 3
If you come up against a difficult question during your mechanical comprehension test, move on, but remember to leave a gap on the answer sheet. If you fail to leave a gap then each of the preceding answers will be incorrect.
TOP TIP 4
In the build-up to the test, if you feel like you are struggling with basic mechanical concepts then I recommend you study a car manual such as Haynes. This will give you an idea of how mechanical concepts work. You can obtain Haynes manuals at www.haynes.co.uk.
