    Description

    The CoreM assesses an individual's ability to reason with mechanical information and find solutions. This test is suited to any role where reasoning with mechanical principles is a required competency. The test helps to identify those individuals who are more likely to succeed in those aspects of training or the job that involve working with mechanical information.

    The test is comprised of 43 multiple-choice questions each containing a series of labelled diagrams of a mechanical nature. In each question there are three multiple-choice options that are based solely on the diagram. The candidate must use the information presented to identify the correct answer from the possible options.

    To work out the correct answer, the candidate will need to interpret concepts relating to physics and mechanics.
