About the Pancyprian Appl. Mech. Sci. III Exam
Applied Mechanical Science III (Theoretical Direction, code 414, ΕΦΑΡΜΟΣΜΕΝΗ ΜΗΧΑΝΙΚΗ ΕΠΙΣΤΗΜΗ ΙΙΙ Τ.Σ. (Θ.Κ.)) is a Technical School access subject in the Cyprus Pancyprian Access Examinations. The 2.5-hour Greek written paper tests applied mechanics knowledge and calculation skill across stress analysis, elasticity and strain, thermodynamics basics, fluid mechanics and kinematics of machines. This bank provides 100 original English-language MCQs with worked calculations and per-option explanations mapped to those syllabus areas.
Exam sponsor: Examinations Service, Cyprus Ministry of Education, Sport and Youth. The requirements and fees below concern the certification or admission exam, separate from our free practice resources.
Assessment
The official assessment is a single 2.5-hour written paper in Greek on Applied Mechanical Science III for Technical Schools (Theoretical Direction), combining theory and comprehension with structured numerical problems in stress and strain, thermodynamics basics, fluid mechanics and kinematics of machines. This 100-question bank is an English-language MCQ study adaptation, not an official translation or format simulation.
Time Limit
2.5 hours per the official 2026 Pancyprian Access Examinations timetable (08:00–10:30 on Wednesday 10 June 2026)
Passing Score
Marked on a 0–20 scale; no pass mark — feeds the access/ranking grade (βαθμός πρόσβασης) for Cyprus and Greece public university allocation.
Exam / Certification Fees
EUR 25.00 per access subject for 2026 (EUR 50.00 only for Practical Physical Performance Test code 032), payable electronically by card during the official 2–17 April 2026 payment window per Examinations Service notices.

Pancyprian Appl. Mech. Sci. III: Suggested Study Strategy
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this practice bank the same as the official Pancyprian Applied Mechanical Science III paper?
No. The official exam is a 2.5-hour written paper in Greek with constructed-response theory questions and structured numerical problems. This bank is an English-language MCQ study adaptation: use it to build and test your understanding, but practise full written solutions and multi-step calculations separately, because the real paper requires you to produce them yourself.
Who sits Applied Mechanical Science III code 414?
It is the Technical School (Theoretical Direction) Applied Mechanical Science III access subject administered by the Cyprus Examinations Service. In the 2026 timetable it is scheduled for Wednesday 10 June 2026, 08:00–10:30.
What topics does this subject cover?
Applied mechanics content typical of Technical School Applied Mechanical Science III: stress analysis, strain and elasticity, thermodynamics basics, fluid mechanics, and kinematics of machines, with both conceptual understanding and numerical problem-solving.
How is the paper marked and is there a pass mark?
The paper is marked on a 0–20 scale. There is no pass or fail threshold: the mark feeds the candidate's access/ranking grade (βαθμός πρόσβασης) used for admission to public universities in Cyprus and Greece.
What is the 2026 exam fee?
EUR 25.00 per access subject (EUR 50.00 only for Practical Physical Performance Test code 032), payable by card in the official 2–17 April 2026 window, with exemptions for specified groups.
How should I use this bank most effectively?
Work topic by topic: attempt each calculation with pen and paper, then read every option explanation. Re-derive stress, strain, thermo, fluid and mechanism formulas until the units and algebra are automatic, then attempt official past papers from panexams.moec.gov.cy under timed written conditions.
