If you click on the round icon on the lower left of the screen, it tells you as you, go which ones you got right or wrong.

All I know is.....DO NOT USE THE 'BACK' BUTTON DURING THE TEST!!!!!

FTE rules prevent me from articulating what I really feel!.......

I was on QUESTION 42!!!......As soon as I answered question #41 and hit 'submit', I thought for a second and said "Gee, I don't think that was correct, let me change it".....So I hit the back button and it kicked me out to the forum, and when I tried forward, it started me on question #1!...........

Jake, I was hating you for a little bit after that.....That was a LONG test anyway, but I stuck it out and was actually doing pretty good with the levers, and then it did that....right near the end of the test........

88%
Struggled with the pulley/forces problems. That was too long ago for me to remember. I thought each pulley reduced required force by 1/2, but apparently that is not the way it works.
It is a fun test, though. I am going to have my shop students take it.

90% for me (taken on a different forum). One of the question with the balance (boxes A and B) doesn't have a correct answer, you need to take the center point of the load and they only have and answer if you take the furthest most part of the load.
