Right out the gate question 1. What is used to measure the concentration of antifreeze in a cooling system. 1) A hydrometer 2) an oxygen sensor 3) a micrometer I don't remember the last one.... I had to hold back the chuckles at the silly questions sometimes. Took about 30 minutes to do 85 questions. There were a couple zingers, and you have to pay close attention to the wording. Sad thing is, one of the store managers at a different store had to retake the test twice to pass... failed 2 times.

Too funny, not being a mechanic, or in a related field, I even knew the answer!

Nothing at this time, but it does mean I don't have to skip a semester of classes though. Might have been part of their consideration as well, I'll just have to try again next year.
