The ones I missed had to do with pulley/weight ratios since I didn't really feel like trying on them. If it was a test that mattered I would have taken the time to get them right.

88%. Know I fouled up one of the electrical questions- although I could argue the point with them as the question was not specific enough. Suspect other problem was a pulley question.

88% - couple of stupid mistakes, and I think that the "mechanical ratio description" is a bit ambiguous.

I just raced through it and got 94%!! Wow. I missed a few that I didn't focus on long enough I suppose. One of the pulley questions, the worm gear question, and the fans blowing at each other question. All the rest I got right.

Here's my score result:
