I was invited to test at valero in the houston/texas city area. I have a few questions. First, has anyone tested at valero and if so what is the use of information portion of the test.

How difficult is the test? I have basic mechanical aptitude like gears, pulleys, levers, basic math, etc... Is there anything else the test focuses on. Is the test multiple choice? I heard quite a bit of common sense is on there but also heard it has gotten harder to weed out people.

Any comments would be appreciated. I'm really nervous since this is my first mechanical aptitude type test.

Pretty easy. Some mechanical appitude, a use of information section, and a behavioral portion. Nothing to worry about if you ask me!

Sorry, I am just getting back to you. I am going to assume that you took the test and did well! You should have had enough time to finish each section. The behavioral part is unlimited!

Yeah, I took the test in Norco about a month ago. My interview is tomorrow. My friend just hired on with Valero and said the interview is all situational. Really laid back group that interviewed him from what he said.
