You should see the one from the early 1900's to be able to "enter" High School. It was an 8th grade exit exam. You'd be absolutely mortified.

100% and I went to school in Liverpool!!. C-mon the Brits....If I can do it you all can. Dont let the triangle question confuse you...trick is to look at it as half a rectangle and bear in mind Budhism isnt strictly a religion.

91%.  I missed the Columbus question, and I have a bone to pick with it.  The "correct" answer is false.  I suppose they mean to say that the Bahamas (where was spotted October 12, 1492) are not part of North America.  But although they are islands, they do rest on the continental shelf.  So in my opinion it's correct to say that his ships did indeed arrive in North America in 1492.  So there.

I also missed the question about Iran.  For the record, Iran does contain an Arab minority, and contains of parts of what was ancient Arabia.  But it's not considered an Arab country.  It's mostly Persian, as it turns out.

Loved the commentary:

You must be an autodidact, because American high schools don't get scores that high!  Good show, old chap!

To be fair, a few (OK, at least two) of the questions are eurocentric, making it harder for the 'Mericuns, easier for us.



Puttered around a bit to find all the correct answers. The two that threw me were concerning religion. Figures.


Oh, and grammar got me a 100%. If I spend much more time on internet forums this will degrade some day, though.

I am also a grammar ninja (not to mention grammar nazi).  100%.

Way to go!  You know not to trust the MS Grammar Check and you know "no" from "know."  Now, go forth and spread the good word (or at least, the proper use of apostrophes).

It's not wrong.  We're speaking English, not Latin.  You can end a sentence with a preposition in English.

"Where's it at?"

I think you mean, "Where is it?"

And if you're all proper and shaZam!...  "Where is it located?"

:icon_razz:


My favorite is , "Where you at?"   I say it as often as possible.



And...  It's "I don't know where it is."
