I never was much of a mechanic...in fact, all that I learned came from my Father...who actually did build houases and take apart automobiles!

Re: Phat: test 3, scores
Don't worry... The only tests that I've excelled in, (so far that I've listed), is word knowledge, mechanical comprehension and general science. Math is definitely not my strong point, nor is auto shop. I also do really well at decoding, which only the Navy requires as apart of the exam.
BTW, this is a practice version of the ASVAB (Armed Forces Vocational Aptitude and Battery), in case anyone was wondering. It is basically the test that determines what jobs you are eligible for enlisted personnel.

Re: Phat: test 3, scores
LOL, same here. My dad's a great builder; could probably build a house from scratch all on his own. Somehow, I haven't managed to pick up a single trick of the trade .
