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?

a. 2
b. 10
c. 8
d. 20

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.

Are you from Georgia?

I was born in Washington, but I've been here 7 years.

In Georgia, It's ridiculous.


I want to move to another state. I can't stand the weather and just the 'system'


If you know what I mean.
