I got 410 points for 82% correct. That means I can help work on your cars - right?

I missed the one about the na motor and how air gets in. I always thought it was suction.

50 questions about which way gears will turn? No thanks.

There is a review answers link at the end.

So are you saying it's not suction? Then why is it "suck, squish, bang, blow"?

450 - 90%

I didn't see the review answers link. I voted for suction also.

I believe the review link was a little icon along the top. According to the review, the correct answer was atmospheric pressure.

Yeah the force isnt actually caused by the vacuum, it is the higher atmospheric pressure that actually causes the force.

I got exactly 80%

The suction/atmospheric pressure question got me, too, since vacuum and pressure are relative to each other. Fluids generally from higher pressure (atmospheric pressure in this case) to lower pressure (caused by the piston descending in the cylinder, lowering the pressure in the cylinder in this case).

My train of thought was that without the suction/vaccuum (relatively lower atmospheric pressure) in the cylinder, the ambient atmospheric pressure would not be able to force more air into the cylinder. If the engine was FI instead of NA, the air could be forced into the cylinder even if the cylinder was at or above atmospheric pressure, but since they specified NA, the pressure in the cylinder has to be lower than atmospheric pressure (or, stated another way, there has to be a relative vaccuum, or suction,) for air to flow in through the intake valve.

Got a 96%/480. Also missed the "which is more easily ignited" question.

80% :rolleyes:

That "suction" question is incorrect, or at least poorly worded. Both A and B are technically correct, depending on how you look at it.

Other than that I missed two, both circuits questions. I guess that's why I'm not an electrical engineer. :wink:

86% 430 points.

Doh!!! 4 of the questions I second guessed myself out of the correct answer.

Just took a mechanical aptitude test for Malin and got a 96%

Missed 3 questions.

Took the electronic aptitude test and got an 80%. 20 questions and I couldn't remember SCR's and calculating ohm law. 15 years without ever using it does numbers.

Still, the guy was impressed enough to call me back for a second interview. ::db2::

2 wrong. ::Rant::

But my co-workers did worse!

The wife of an acquaintance, Hank, at ARCO was asked to take a mechanical aptitude test at Lyola University. She was an art major and poet.

After taking the test, she received a call asking her to come in for a retest. Something had gone wrong. She had scored an impossibly low 6% on the test. Hank knew what was going to happen.....she scored a 4% on the retest.

She was a very good painter. Her still life paintings were beautiful. But, Hank had to hang them. And he did so for over 55 years.

True story.
