 Wow - that was a tough test.  Any  kid right out of high school who can pass it ought to be doing something with his/her life beyond turning wrenches.   I missed one  electrical, and one  pulley question, one of the balloon questions and even though I knew the right answer, I missed the match-up the definitions  gear question.    Watch out for # 45:  It shows 3 balloons of increasing diameter, and asks which balloon has the most  pressure  exerting on it,   or at least that's what I recall.... I got tripped up by selecting "same on all three" using the logic that  atmospheric pressure is equal in all directions, but I believe they they may have been asking for pressure on the inside. in which case  I just blew the reading portion of the quiz....    But being that I are a engenere by mis-edjukation, that don't surprise me none...
