bennett mechanical aptitude test
 

Ive been searching Google but I cant find any good resources to study for this test. Has any one taken this test? Have any good info on it? Where do I go to take it? I know I'm not gonna pass the first time, Can I take it more then once? The reason I ask Is because I just got my brochure to SAM and it says I need to take the test.. I really want to get into that school. BADLY

SAM = School of Automotive Machinists in Houston?
