Which Amazon Maintenance Test will you take?
Amazon uses different assessments for Maintenance Technician and RME Technician candidates. Check your test invitation for the test name, duration, or number of questions to identify which assessment you're taking.
| Assessment | Format |
| The Amazon Ramsay Maintenance Test | 75 questions, 2.5 hours |
| The Wiesen Test of Mechanical Aptitude | 60 questions, 30 minutes |
Not sure which one you're taking? Don't worry; our Amazon Maintenance PrepPack includes preparation for both.
The Amazon Ramsay Maintenance Test
The Amazon Ramsay Test is a variation of the Ramsay Mechanical Test covering professional topics in maintenance, mechanics, and electricity. The assessment comes in three levels: Maintenance Technician 1 (MT-1A19), Maintenance Technician 2 (MT-2A19), and Maintenance Technician 3 (MT-3A19).
For almost all Amazon Maintenance roles, you will have to take either Tech 2 or Tech 3.
Amazon Maintenance Technician Test 2 vs. Test 3
| Tech 2 (MT-2A19) | Tech 3 (MT-3A19) | |
| Questions | 75 | 75 |
| Time | 2.5 hours | 2.5 hours |
| Level | Intermediate | Advanced |
| Main Topics | 6 | 6 + additional topic |
| Additional Topic | — | Often Electronics/PLC |
Both versions cover Print Reading, Power Transmission and Preventive Maintenance, Materials/Tools/Equipment, Pneumatics and Hydraulics, Electrical Theory and Control Circuits, and Test Instruments. Tech 3 is more advanced and includes an additional topic, commonly Electronics and PLC.

Prepare Properly for the Amazon Ramsay Test
The sample questions above are just a preview of the actual assessment. Prepare with full-length Amazon Ramsay mock tests, targeted practice for every test topic, detailed explanations, and study guides. You'll also get preparation for the Wiesen Test of Mechanical Aptitude and Amazon's Work Style Assessment and Work Simulation.
The Wiesen Test of Mechanical Aptitude
The Wiesen Test of Mechanical Aptitude (WTMA) assesses your understanding of basic mechanical and physical principles. It may be used for some Amazon Maintenance and RME Technician candidates and focuses on applying these principles to practical problems.
The test covers topics including:
- Fluids
- Optics, acoustics, and thermodynamics
- Force, torque, and equilibrium
- Velocity, acceleration, gravity, and rotation
- Pulleys, wheels, and gears
- Electricity
Amazon Wiesen Test Sample Questions
Wiesen questions often use familiar, everyday objects to test mechanical principles. While the scenarios may look simple, relying on intuition rather than the underlying principle can easily lead to the wrong answer.
Wiesen Test of Mechanical Aptitude - Sample Question #1
Wiesen Test of Mechanical Aptitude - Sample Question #2
This question is a classic case of the trap of intuition.
Kettle B is higher and has a larger volume, and initially seems as if it can contain more water.
However, the kettle can only contain water to the height of the spout before it starts pouring out. The spout at kettle B is shorter, and the total water height can be lower than in kettle A.
Amazon Maintenance Technician/RME Interview
The most effective way to prepare is to practice the same types of questions you’ll encounter on the real assessment. Most candidates have only a few days to prepare, so focus on the topics that carry the greatest weight and practice under realistic test conditions.
Here are our three most important preparation tips:
-
Prioritize the Highest-Weighted Topics
Spend most of your study time on Power Transmission & Preventive Maintenance, Electrical Theory & Control Circuits, and Test Instruments, as these account for a large share of the Ramsay assessment.
-
Don’t Overlook the Basics
Refresh core concepts such as Ohm’s Law, circuit analysis, basic mechanics, and electrical principles. These questions are often straightforward, making them valuable opportunities to score easy points.
-
Think Like a Maintenance Technician
Many questions require troubleshooting rather than memorization. As you practice, focus on diagnosing faults, identifying causes, and selecting the most effective solution.
Our Amazon Maintenance Technician PrepPack helps you apply these strategies through full-length mock tests, targeted topic practice, and detailed explanations.
Amazon Maintenance Technician/RME Interview
Candidates who pass the Maintenance or RME Technician assessment are typically invited to one or more interviews with an Amazon recruiter or hiring manager. Expect technical questions about maintenance, troubleshooting, and your previous experience, plus behavioral questions based on Amazon’s Leadership Principles.
Structure your answers with the STAR method: describe a situation from your past work, the actions you took, and the results and how they were measured.
The Premium plan also includes interview preparation to help you practice common Amazon interview questions and improve your responses.
Want to practice more Wiesen questions?
The Amazon Maintenance Technician PrepPack includes a full Wiesen mock test and targeted mechanical aptitude practice, alongside preparation for the other Amazon Maintenance assessments.
FAQs
The Amazon Maintenance Technician Test is a pre-employment assessment used to evaluate candidates applying for Amazon Maintenance Technician and many RME Technician roles. Depending on the position and hiring process, candidates may be asked to complete different technical assessments, most commonly the Amazon Ramsay Maintenance Technician Test or the Wiesen Test of Mechanical Aptitude. In addition to these technical assessments, many candidates are also required to complete Amazon's behavioral tests: the Work Style Assessment and Work Simulation Test.
After your application is shortlisted, Amazon will invite you by email to schedule your assessment, and you usually have about five days to take it. The test is typically administered online through a third-party proctoring platform, where you'll need a computer with a webcam, microphone, speakers or headphones, and a valid government-issued photo ID. During the assessment, you may use scratch paper and an on-screen calculator if one is provided.
ADIA is a third-party testing platform that Amazon may use to schedule and remotely proctor the Amazon Maintenance Technician assessment. ADIA manages the testing session and verifies your identity, while the technical assessment itself is provided by Amazon's testing partner.
Yes. Amazon uses different assessments depending on the role you're applying for. Candidates for Control Systems Technician and Control Systems Lead positions complete a different technical assessment, while applicants for the Mechatronics & Robotics Apprenticeship (RME Apprenticeship) take a separate apprenticeship assessment. If you're applying for one of these positions, it's best to prepare with practice materials designed specifically for that assessment.
We offer preparation for both:
Maintenance Technician salaries vary depending on location, experience, and level (Tech 1, Tech 2, or Tech 3). In the United States, Pay varies by location and level, and published figures are estimates based on user-reported data. Glassdoor reports an average of about $69,000 a year (roughly $33 an hour) for Amazon Maintenance Technician II, while Indeed lists a median of about $31 an hour for Maintenance Tech II. Actual pay depends on the specific role and site.
