Well think i blew that one out the windown ! Im concerned about the mech test and the paragraph one !

Mech test didnt complete it got 30 out of 46 or what ever it was and feel like i defo got a few wrong if not more :(

As for the paragraph i completed it but feel like as i said above good few wrong i think !

Prob on both of these got borderline prob below, not feeling it right now as you can tell ! Would love to thank a few members on my previous posts for there help !

The other two tests im kinda confident in ! Just 50/50 for the above

Any1 know roughly the pass mark etc ?

Dont worry about how many you got wrong they dont count on Mech its a percentage of correct answers. Dont know the pass mark im afraid, was it the one with cutting a tree down and over inflated tyre etc or was it mostly cogs and pulleys?
I finished paragraph one quite quickly and its easy to second guess yourself but stay positive:D

You are not penalised for wrong answers in the Mech test. The Mech test is passed on number of correct answers.The pass mark is unknown.

*EXAMPLE* Say the pass mark is 16
One person answers 15 (out of the 36 questions) and gets them all right. Even though its 100% accuracy, its a fail.
Another person answers all 36 and gets only 16 right. Even though its 44% accuracy, its a pass.

It must be said that I feel the pass mark in the mech test is rather low. I have passed this test 4 times over the years, and have always felt like I got many of them wrong.

Unfortunately I feel that test is a lot more unforgiving. I felt like I got hardly any wrong and only managed a "Pass" . It wasn't a "good pass" just a "pass" which is only one step above the dreaded "Borderline Pass"!

Will the H.R depts give you feedback on the assesments?

I was told i had passed them and that was it, there was no mention of what level i had passed.
Will they give you feedback on score if asked?
