Are you Smarter than an Eighth Grader?
May 15, 2008 by lizagator
Here’s a quick quiz so see if you’d pass 8th grade science.
I would in no way like to share my grade with you.
Apropos of nothing, I would like to take a minute to say that my middle school was a classical arts magnet school and we did have all sorts of dance, music, theater, band, orchestra, jazz bands, etc.
My school might not have spent their entire budget on the science department. My class was in a basement. My teacher quit in the first quarter, replaced by a substitute for 2 months, ending with a new permanent teacher for the last quarter. And I think there was another pregnant lady in there somewhere.
None of this reflects in my awesome score on this test. I’m just sayin’…
Seriously, I did fine on the test. I just don’t happen to want to talk about it. Just feeling a little shy. I did really well, though - Honest.
Shut it!
Move along.
Take the test yourself. You can tell me how you did. I won’t tell anyone else. Honest. Swearsies!
I passed. Not a great score, but I passed.
Is this because I went to a different middle school than you?
I’m totally smarter than a 8th grader… barely. No comment on my “grade”, but I am moving up a grade next year.
since no one seems to be very forthcoming with their scores, i will just say that i beat jed’s by 3 points. he claims that’s only because i went to 8th grade much more recently that he did.
Well, You’re not forthcoming with your scores, just a relative amount. I’m gonna have to assume all of you are in the “C” range. Losers!
I’m waiting for JP’s scores.
Or Beedle’s.
We’ll judge on a curve. A nice round bell curve.
All that aspiring to be above average has paid off. But, I answered one question without reading all the choices first. Bad idea. Broke the second rule of test taking. Your extra credit question is: What is the first rule of test taking?
I’m gonna have to guess that Rule Number 1 of Test Taking would be…Read the Question!?!
I thought the first rule of test taking was sign your name
We have a winner! The first rule is to read the question.
