I scored 450 points 90%. I missed a few because I was rushing.

Interesting. I got an 86% 430 pts. I missed the pulley questions and some of the electrical diagrams. Otherwise I did well. This was after several beers and while watching Conan.

Funny this popped up here. It went around our engineering office today. Nearly everyone is a ME. The 25ish year guys scored between 75-85%. The 30+ guys scored 80-96%.

92% Overall, 100% on the firsdt 32. What do I win?

It would be interesting to see which questions each of us missed.

I got a 90%, but I would contest 3 of my wrong answers. In #15 the "correct" answer is wrong; in #32 I didn't interpret the diagram the way it was intended; in #48 the difference between my answer and the correct answer is trivial.

84% and I regard myself as a mechanical moron! I think I lost most on pulley questions which were a very vague memory from school!

84% for me, and I'm not particularly mechanically inclined. But I've always been good at taking multiple choice tests!

88%. Somehow I missed the first one, and not a single gear question after that. Huh.
