Engineering Jobs Aptitude Test Questions & Answers
Am compiling the list of past questions in the engineering industries and believe to obtain about 500 questions in the engineering industries such as; oil and gas, construction, chemical, metallurgical, and manufacturing industries, etc.
please do not forget this is a platform for engineers to rub minds together on various issues that could help us develop further in our careers.
Therefore will I keep on adding the list of the question periodically and providing answers to the ones I have the answers to.
It is your duty to keep up to date with the latest update in the list; it is also your duty to provide the answer if you know it to any of the questions they answer is not provided for the benefit of others.
The major purpose is the sharing of information to upgrade our knowledge in the engineering field.
Due to legal reasons, I have decided to remove the names of the companies these aptitude test questions were obtained;

I really appreciate this, thank you.
Man! Thank you, even though I did not go through it thorough before taking my test, the little I could remember helped me. Out of 12 questions that came out here I can say I confidently answered 9 correctly. I t really pained me I did get all the 12. But thanks for the help.
Thank you JOSHUA
