Detailed Test Report
For every candidate completing the Mechanical Aptitude Test, you will be able to download or print a detailed test report. The first page of the test report provides a quick overview of the candidate’s overall performance. On the following page of the test report, you can compare the candidate’s results with norm groups from five different occupations. These results are compared to a norm group to derive a percentile score within the population. For example, if a candidate scores 70, they performed as well or better than 70 percent of the 3,000 people who were part of our 2014 test norming study.
