haha this advanced grammar one is funny
"15. The defendint exhibited a peevish appearance.
A. Capitalization
B. Punctuation
C. Spelling
D. Grammar"
And this is apparently advanced maths
"37. Which of the following has the least value?
A. 0.27
B. 1/4
C. 3/8
D. 2/11
E. 11%"

I figured that out in about 5 seconds. It's E.
A: 0.27
B: 0.25
C: 0.375
D: A bit less than 0.2
E: 0.11
Seriously, no quadratic equations? It can't be advanced math without some quadratics!

I know -- I finished working with graphing quadratic equations several years ago.

The 8th graders have to take a test to be promoted to the next grade, and the 11th graders have to take another test to graduate (and they have a whole year to retake it as often as they want if they don't pass.) I remember seeing a lot of the same questions on both of the tests, and this was one of them:
Code:What is the height of this triangle?

Here's a practice test if anyone wants to try it... I'm sure just about everyone on Buildism could already graduate from high school in Georgia, since a 50% is passing.
the answer is D

It's a trick question because that isn't a triangle.

You are right, and now that I see the answer is obviously A
RE: I got the results back from one of those stupid tests the states give - Qwertygiy - 02-01-2012
No, it's DEFINITELY b.
