Quizzes

I spotted this on Patrick Swenson’s blog.

You paid attention during 91% of high school!

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

Do you deserve your high school diploma?

I had to go back and see which ones I missed. #3, which didn’t surprise me and #14, which did.

Your Language Arts Grade: 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).

    Haha, too right on the Microsoft Grammar Check. It is my nemesis!

    How’s life where you are, are you heading back to Iceland next year? (I meant to ask you if you’ve been to the Erro art exhibition in Reykjavík? I was quite impressed by it.)

    Life is good, but I’m not sure what our schedule is after the first of the year. Things are in flux right now and I’ll post on it as soon as I know a little bit more.

    I just wrote a kind of response to this in my own blog. I got the same result as you, and I’m really saddened by the implied state of American education…

    I would love to get an actual teenager to take this and see what she thinks. Nice discussion going on in your blog, by the way.

    Hey, I got the exact same scores as you, though I got one different answer wrong in the first quiz.
