The Interactive Self Assessment tutorial questions below use the CASTLE Marking Engine in Leicester University.   

The tests below cover both Statics and Dynamics topics.

The tests on Dynamics section could also be taken as Question Mark Perception tests and you would need your student ID number and the password to access these tests.

The content of the questions are below exam standard but require the basic knowledge of each section.

All questions are multiple choice.

Warning: Netscape 2.x users will find that some symbols are not displayed.
Internet Explorer/Netscape 3.0 and their later versions are ideal.
