Think You Know Cars? Take the ASE Master Tech Practice Quiz

[Slash]

I know we've done quizzes and whatnot in the past, but do you really know cars? I mean really? Here's some ASE practice tests; these are the tests mechanics take to become master certified and some of them are tough. Each practice test contains 20-25 questions. Good luck! Post up your scores. I did very well on many of them.

Let's start with A1 general engine diagnosis. From there you can navigate and take the ones you want. There is 8 sections total.

[Gotbeefboy564]

8 right should've taken the test when I was done with my auto tech classes.

 

[GTP_Ingram]

Well if you need your coolant sorting, I'm your man. Any other problems? Go somewhere else...

 

[TheBook]

12/20. Not bad, considering I never did anything with engines in auto shop.

 

[Adamgp]

11/20.

Better then expected, but I won't be quitting my day job.

 

[Snorevette]

I know close to nothing about this sort of stuff (even though I really should) and to be honest I'm impressed I even got above 25%...

 

[Leonidae@MFT]

Hm. I guess I need to polish my cylinderhead and valvetrain knowledge..

 

[ScuderiaLucas]

50% okay.

I have real ASE Certifications fyi for my job because it's a requirement. ASE tests can be worded very tricky and that requires you to pay a lot of attention to the wording. A1-A8 is basic stuff. If you really want to be good at diagnosing things try the L1 exam. Also, some of the questions on ASE tests are experimental where there is no right answer and no wrong answer. They use them to get an idea of how most people in the industry would answer. So don't sweat it if you see one of those on a real test. Those are not scored but for informational purposes only.

 

[Sage Ages]

I got a 55.

 

[KudosM4]

Oops. Went wrong on .19... I'm a trained mechanic, used to be a mechanic... Glad I still remember these these Things!


Edit; and just like Eagle said, they can be worded difficultly to catch you out and to make you think about more. If I was to have taking this test before I started my college course while 17/18, I probably would have only got between 9 and 12... So don't worry whether you got high or not. Even professionals mess up on worded questions.

 

[Danny]

Edit: The most upsetting thing is that I genuinely tried.

You know what's weird? My name is Jeff too lol

Haha, my name isn't Jeff. You must have seen 22 Jump St, right? It's a joke from that film.

My names Brad BTW, nice to meet you Jeff!

I'd say I didn't do terrible, considering the extent of my experience working on cars is an oil change and changing the spark plugs on the family Rogue.

 

[JR98]

20%. Kinda knew it as I know next to nothing about engines

I'd love to get my tests done but gotta have the money first. I'm good but I'm not ASE good

We have a policy here where we'll par for the tests for our Technicians so long as they pass them. All they need to do is bring me the results and I'll pay them. It's motivation for them to pass the tests.

I could most likely pass them, some are pretty tricky though.
