Go to the ASTB forums on this site. There is a wealth of information there.

Based on the version I took, there are only going to be a few question you won't be able to solve using the Marine gouge or basic common sense.
I was a little confused with one question on optics and one on pressure. But overall, almost the whole thing was your typical pulleys, gears, inclines, electric circuits type stuff. If you're solid on that you'll probably do better than most IMO.

the mechanic section in this marine gouge comes up as page not found. first is this the correct page i should be looking at, and second are there any other recommendations for studying the mechanic section?

You say Mechanic, they say Mechanical....

You guys might have better luck searching if you used proper title...........
"Mechanic" will take you here vvv
Whereas "Mechanical" (or "Mechanical Comprehension Test") will take you....to some where entirely different and appropriate for your needs

As said, most of the stuff is common sense, and there will be a couple that you will probably guess on as you likely have never seen them before.
Know physics in relation to airplanes more so than your intro to physics class. I.e. know about pressure above and below flight surfaces. It's been a year since I had taken the exam, but that is the gist of it. I studied the Arco and Barron's books, as well as the Marine pdf's. In Barron's I did the AFAST problems too for extra practice. -It depends on how good you are at physics and how much time you have to prepare. I had ~ 1month to study and scored 7,7,8 58. And I only took one version, FYI.In short, study as much as you can to cover a wide variety of problems. Focus on your weaknesses. And don't neglect other sections unless they are your strengths and Mechanical is your weakness. (Redundant, I know

As far as tool knowledge, I don't remember, but I think there weren't any of the questions about tools like there were in Arco or Barrons. Just simple tools at most: levers, wedges, pulleys. Again, though, I took version 5 only.
