What Do Entrance Exams Test?

📐

Trades Math

📖

Reading Comprehension

Understanding written instructions, safety procedures, and technical specifications. Tested through short passages followed by multiple-choice questions.

⚙️

Mechanical Aptitude

Gears, pulleys, levers, fluid pressure, and basic physics. Tests your intuition for how mechanical systems work — no prior trade knowledge required.

📏

Spatial Reasoning

Visualizing 3D shapes, reading diagrams, and understanding how parts fit together. Blueprint reading and measurement questions fall into this category.
