Actually thought this was pretty entertaining:

Do You Deserve Your High School Diploma?

Some of those questions were pretty hard.

Only gave it one try, scored an 86%.

You paid attention during 100% of high school!


85-100% You must be an autodidact, because American high schools don't get scores that high! Good show, old chap!

97%.... That quiz has a couple of abstract questions that are debatable and have ambigious answers, like the one that if Iran is an "arabic" country and if Columbus landed in "North America." Whoever designed it should go back to school to learn about disambiguation.

Actually, that is the point to Standardized testing it is not to get the "right" answer it is to choose the "best" answer. I just started studying for the GRE and thats the first thing they say you need to understand. test are bullshit anyways, just a means to an end.

That's true, but this test in particular wasn't designed in this way.

Just one example about the question of whether Iran is an arabic country or not. No, it is not because geographically it is not in the arabian peninsula, its language is Farisi rather than Arabic (up to some point) and the people are not of arab race, they are indoeuropean persians. Yes, it is arabic because the country posess a strongly cultural arabic influence, especially after the fundamentalist islamic government of the last decades. So what is the "best" answer?
