Pathetic. Why take the test in the first place?

Isn't sea water a better conductor than distilled water?

For some reason I find this more sad than funny~ He's taking a seat that some well-meaning, serious student could fill

Er, sorry to be the one to say this....but that's fucking college level questions?

Most of that would be standard grade over here, with the very mild possibility of it bordering on higher....both of which are below what you'd get at college or uni.....

Standard Grade. Never higher.

For a beginning chem class, yeah, that's about what you'd get. One of the real problems with the American school system is its inconsistancy - some students can answer those blindfolded before they've even had the class, while some are not quite sure what these "element" thingies are.

i was doing stuff like that at GCSE chemistry... when i was 15/16.... he's doing that when he's 19/20???

I laugh at that test paper

HemlockGrey · Post by **HemlockGrey** » 2004-03-29 05:01pm

Of course, "Level Two" could denote either a higher or lower than average difficulty, which is another example of inconsistancy...

Larz · Post by **Larz** » 2004-03-29 05:02pm

You mean those answers were not right!!!

...

Rant
It is people like that that make it so I have to take my Organic I lab while I'm taking Organic II during the summer and take my Organic II lab while I'll be taking Physcal Chemistry I (for majors, aka 'rape me in the ass' P-Chem), Introduction to Biochemistry (for majors), and Biology I w/ lab during the fall. Of course they are also the asses that make it so now the core biology requirement before doing higher level biology classes at my college has been split from a 2 semester to a 4 semester program.
End Rant

Anyway, all pending, that could be an exam for a basics of basics Chemistry 101 class, but yeah, all in all pretty sad stuff. People like them should be removed from the gene pool.

Reminds me of a chemistry test I took last week. I didn't know half of the answers and only barely passed because of lucky guesses. That one kind of makes me feel good about it.

Reminds me of some of the horror stories I hear about my dad's college hijinks.. though that story involved him blowing up the chemistry professor a little bit.

Isn't this a school in New Zealand?

Having studied two semesters of chemistry (before I got my sense back), I just laugh at that exam.

Just goes to show you that even after high school you can get a few laughs.

I'm in the middle of a high school chemistry class, and I could answer most of that stuff correctly.
