Both private employers and public agencies use many different mechanical aptitude tests to screen job applicants seeking employment in areas that can range from machinist and skilled trades apprentice to helicopter pilot or aerospace engineer. Though tests take many different forms, all measure the same ability, and people who do well on any one test are likely to do well on all of them. This manual presents 18 practice tests in both mechanical aptitude and spatial ability, with answers and detailed explanations for all questions. The author also offers advice on ways to develop and improve mechanical aptitude, gives test-taking tips, and provides explanations of how simple machines--for instance, pulleys and levers--work. The book is filled with diagrams and illustrations

This review is from: How to Prepare for the Mechanical Aptitude and Spatial Relations Tests (Barron's Mechanical Aptitude & Spatial Relations Test) (Paperback)
This here is a wonderful book that has all the information that you will need to pass most Mechanical aptitude tests, well written and has alot of explanations on how things work,very educational, I highly recommend it.
To the auther you can actually earn a 5 star rating on this book if you would add a section on Mirrors (concave,convex,plane) and how they work.

More info than i needed!,

This review is from: How to Prepare for the Mechanical Aptitude and Spatial Relations Tests (Barron's Mechanical Aptitude & Spatial Relations Test) (Paperback)
Way more info than I needed to pass the test I was preparing for.
However I also purchased Mechanical Aptitude and Spatial Relations Test, 6th edition by Joan Levy which has much more info and questions to prepare for a test...in fact 15% of the questions on the actual test I took were in these two books word for word. Get both.

This review is from: How to Prepare for the Mechanical Aptitude and Spatial Relations Tests (Barron's Mechanical Aptitude & Spatial Relations Test) (Paperback)
When I initially was told I would have to take a Mechanical Aptitude Test for a new job, I was anxious because I really had no idea what to expect on such a test. I chose to order this book and am very satisfied with my choice. Sure, many of the things within this book are not complex at all, but a lot of it you just don't think about on a regular basis. So when it shows up on a test you're caught completely off guard epically if you're not sure what to expect in the first place. This book shows you most of what you can expect on such tests and actually does a great job preparing you for it. It's an easy read and the problems and practice tests are well explained and differ in complexity to prepare you for all different types of questions. Overall, I think this is a great book to help anybody prepare for such a test.
