I got the results back from one of those stupid tests the states give

[Duck]

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%"

"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!

Georgia has the second worst education system in the country, so the standardized tests here are a complete joke. 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?
|\
| \
|  \
8|   \ 10
|     \
|____\
   2
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.

the answer is D

a. 2
b. 10

d. 20

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

[Qwertygiy]

No, it's DEFINITELY b.

[Who]

No, it's DEFINITELY b.

pffff B?, are you serious?

[Qwertygiy]

As serious as you are.
