This book delivers what it says, but really is no help to you if you have any kind of education. Most of these tests have questions like "6+3=?"
or have two people sitting on one side of a hammock, and it asks which side is holding more weight. It's not really anything you can study for. If anything, get this book to flip through it so you know what to expect; it's cheap so you don't really have anything to lose.

This review is from: ARCO Mechanical Aptitude and Spatial Relations Tests (Paperback)

I read other people's reviews for this book before I purchased it,so based on that I bought the book. Now that I bought, I honestly do not recommend it to anyone. The book starts with questions and multiple choice answers for everything then you find the answers a few pages later.
There are no explanations for the answers or how the stuff works.Basically it is a look and memorize book without any theory of operation or coaching on how things work. The paper is cheap and the fonts are small, hard to read. Instructions are confusing. I do not recommend it at all.
