Exclamation 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

Bennett Mechanical Aptitude Testing & Reasoning Problems
The mechanical reasoning problems in Bennett mechanical aptitude testing require you to visualize the movements of different parts of the mechanics given in static diagrams. You can solve these problems by using different cognitive skills. There are three kinds of movements that you are supposed to visualize mentally.

1- When static diagrams are given in two-dimensional plane, you are required to visualize motion of one component of the diagram in the same plane.

2- When Bennett mechanical aptitude testing offers three dimensional motion problems, you are required to visualize the motion of the components in static diagram one by one in different planes.

3- When Bennett mechanical aptitude testing offers complex motion reasoning problems, you are required to animate the motion of different components of the static diagram in your mind. However, you have to animate all of the components at once to solve the reasoning problems.

it tells you what you need to know, even though they may not supply problems
i'll see what else i can dig up

Two of the most widely used tests are the Bennett Mechanical Comprehension Test and the Flannigan Industrial Tests. The Bennett Mechanical Comprehension Test will enable recruiters to determine quickly and accurately whether a job applicant has the aptitude to learn mechanical skills, and who is best suited for jobs requiring a grasp of the principles of operation and maintenance of complex devices. The Flanagan Industrial Tests measure specific aptitudes important for a variety of occupations. The tests may be used separately or in any combination. They are designed for Supervisory, technical, office, skilled labour and other industrial positions. The series includes tests for:

* Arithmetic. Ability to add, subtract, multiply and divide.
* Assembly. Ability to visualize how separate pieces will look as a whole.
* Components. Ability to identify a simple figure that is part of a complete drawing.
* Coordination. Ability to control hand and arm movements while working through a series of mazes.
* Electronics. Ability to understand electrical and electronic principles as well as analyze diagrams of electrical circuits.
* Expression. Knowledge of correct grammar and sentence structure.
* Ingenuity. Ability to think of ingenious and effective ways of solving problems.
* Inspection. Ability to spot imperfections or flaws in a series of objects
* Judgment and Comprehension. Ability to read and comprehend given information.
* Mathematics and Reasoning. Ability to reason through mathematical word problems.
* Mechanics. Ability to understand mechanical principles and analyze mechanical movement.
* Memory. Ability to memorize different terms and their meanings.
* Patterns. Ability to perceive and reproduce pattern outlines accurately.
* Planning. Ability to plan, organize and schedule various types of activities.
* Precision. Capacity for precision work with small objects.
* Scales. Ability to read scales, graphs and charts.
* Tables. Ability to read tables quickly and accurately.
* Vocabulary. Knowledge of words used in business and government environments.

Both the Bennett and the Flanagan are paper and pencil tests and can be administered to applicants individually or in groups. The Bennett is also available on line. All of these tests have been thoroughly validated and are proven to be accurate. Several of them come with norms for specific jobs so recruiters can see how the applicant measures up to people in specific industries.
