I'm embarrassed... 74%. It should tell you what you missed. I'm pretty confident I got all the gear and belt ones right, it's the weights and stuff that I messed up.

Click the icon in the bottom left to turn on the TOC, tells you whether you got the questions right or wrong, then click the review icon after you're done to go back and see what the ones you missed should be.

90% -- That was fun. I continue to wonder why I ended up with CS degree instead of ME or something.

72%...the electrical and the pulley questions hung me up...been too long since I took physical science classes. I bet I can still disassemble/reassemble an Xterra IFS faster than most of you

82%, did it in about 15 minutes...
I was actually surprised that I did that well, because I didn't think that I would do well at all.
I am so SMRT!

Lowest score so far! 270 pts - 54%. Missed many of the pulley and electrical questions. Got almost all of the gear ones right though. I guess there's a good reason why I'm a psychologist and not an engineer/mechanic.

I also got a 74% much higher then I expected.
Of course I didn't read the part about finding out what you missed until I closed it.

Block and tackle issues. Somewhat surprised because I don't think of myself as mechanically inclined.

I got 94%, not sure what I missed. A couple of the electrical questions were essentially "Trick Questions" and if you didn't look at it closely, you'd miss them
The Fan question was cute, but about the only practical one they asked was about planetary gears.

Yeesh. Now I know why I drive an UPS truck for a living. 68% wow. I can't even be a Ford mechanic. I did get all the electrical questions correct though.

I thought I missed maybe one or two. Missed a bunch. I did not know I was able to see my results.
My name here "Canope" came from a Mensa quiz where the correct answer was 'canope'. No such word and called them on it. Smart is relative. I smoke, drink and post on XOC. Half dead and think I'm smart.
