Yeh I wasn't really sure, I was gonna say composite materials but I don't really know much about them.

Yeh I think it was 8.8 tho

I had to divide by 10 but I dunno maybe u done it different, I doubt you got it wrong if u got around the same answer. For the aeronautical I done jet engines that counts doesnt it?

I Yeh I've seen stuff like that a bit I think its just to make sure your confident with the concept or whatever.

For the the mass of the rider, did anyone get about 95 I can remember the exact number. I didn't really understand how you can apply a moment force from being on the bike.

Nah, off the top of my head: Quenching Annealing Tempering Normalising Case hardening Precipitation hardening

Stress/strain youngs modulus Heat treatments and obviously heaps of calculating forces and work, power and energy...

This guy in an engineering teacher and has some awesome stuff, 'High School Engineering Teacher and Cabinetmaker'.

I'm not bragging I'm just trying to make the point it wasn't beyond what we were taught, it just required a lot of problem solving. Yeh it took me a while to get that, actually pretty simple but it was rather confusing how it was worded.

I think Ill learn the key points from the syllabus then do a past paper on Monday morning.

That might not be that easy actually, its quite big.

All the questions were on things that can be tested... I didn't come across anything I hadn't been taught, the only thing I wasn't sure how to do was the last one and that can probably be put down to studying the day before.

Well if everyone knows exactly what to expect its not as good a test of problem solving IMO.
