You clearly have a handle on what the Illinois State Board of Education thinks an 8th-grader should know.You got 15/16 correct.

I got the one with the flower pot wrong. Still, I'm pretty damn please with myself, since it's been...*calculates in head*...twelve years since I was in eighth grade.

I missed the same question.

Hmm, I wonder if there's a connection...

I'm embarresed 'cos i got the "Which number is larger..." wrong. Doing A-level mathcs does help.

edit: and what does Magna Cum Laude mean anyway?

I got the cube and the field wrong because of stupid mistakes.

Yay I can still get Summa Cum Laude after 15 years of not being in the 8th grade.

Cum Laude- With honors

Magna Cum Laude- With high honors

Summa Cum Laude- With greatest honors

Actually since my latin is beyond rough...I hope I got them semi right.

I overthought the CD player option. Technically, he has enough money one weak earlier BEFORE he decides to spend it all.

I missed 3 but I did all the work in my head except for #16.

So, Zaia, where's my kiss?


There has got to be some advantages in being an engineer

Fuck, no. I'm basically math-illiterate. Which is why my IQ scores are usually lower than they should be.

I got 13 out of 16. But, I wasn't concentrating on some.

I don't think there's anyone that considers 13 out of 16 on a real test good, but if there is, they'd probably say: W00t! I 1z smrt!

Perfect score.

Are you all retarded? Come on.

I don't quite think that was necessary.

16/16, with no calculator usage. Strange thing is I remember gr.8 math being easier than that, though I can't say for certain unless I can find my notes from way back then. I'll gladly admit that I probably have the math skills of a gr.11 student right now, I haven't taken any math courses in a couple years and I haven't really touched any math other than some basic statistics since then. I'll be lucky if I still remember how to do a derivative!

SCHWEET!

Not bad for a liberal arts major, eh?

16/16

all too easy, you are not as powerful as the Emporer has forseen.



That wasn't difficult at all. The only one I had a problem with was 15 as I didn't know what congruent meant. I guessed it meant equal and that is what I picked.

16/16

Ya mofos.

Although, that may be because I am in 9th grade math. I can remember 8th grade math like it was yesterday...And boy did that really suck. FUCK YOU MRS. JONES!

16/16, but I confess that it would have been easier if I had used a calculator. My mental-math skills are a bit rusty.

*chuckles* Oh, alright. How can I argue with that? *kisses Olrik*

9/16!!!!!!!
OMFG!!!!!!
Well that would explain me having a 76 in the Math A regents.......

It's late and my brain is off, but I was thinking something like this..

atan(3/4).. atan(3/4).. Damn, this sounds familiar, but it's not a regular number.. I can't believe the kids are asked this.. Fuck, I can't believe I need a calculator.. wait.. hold on.. There's a rule about rectangular triangles.. Oh.. h^2= c1^2+c2^2.. of course.

I then felt stupid

I got them all right. Did all but 14 and 16 in my head. Would have gone so much faster if I wasn't tired right now.

15/16. Magna Cum Laude

Accidentally and subconciously hit the answer of "18 inches" #3, because I was flying through the exam, and I saw the number "18 inches" on the test question. That's what I get for not paying enough attention. Tricksy hobittsesss, trying to trick usss, preciousss.

Other than that, the test was quite easy.
