As others have said the test is poorly constructed. A few questions one
has to guess what is wanted.

However is is interesting as it is a very practical test of engineering
mechanics. Practical experience really helps.

When helping my son with mathematical mechanics problems I was surprised
how little practical experience/intuition he had. He had to learn
everything as theory, book learning. For today's computer generation of
children a little more practical teaching in school would be a good
thing but perhaps it is too expensive
