I don't know who determines the "Trending Now" on Yahoo's homepage, but I saw the 1912 Eighth Grade Exam and was curious. There were several links for it, but I clicked on the Christian Science Monitor's links and took the test.
Whoa! Eighth grade was a lot harder in 1912 than when I was in 8th grade in 1977/78.
I failed with a 60%!
Test your 8th grade knowledge!

I never had grammar questions that specific. There are alot of detailed geography questions in there too.
I got a 67%. I'm just shocked I remembered who De Soto was. -
There is an error in the exam:
"3. A school enrolled 120 pupils and the number of boys was two-thirds of the number of girls. How many of each sex were enrolled?"
There should be more boys and girls and all of the answer choices show more girls than boys. -
I got a 45% lol
But catching that error makes up for that ****ty score lol. -

There is a flaw though on the geography section. They ask you to list the biggest state to ther smallest and list Alaska in two of the answers. If Alaska was not a state in 1912 than it would not of been on the test as one. Its a trick question and yes it got me.The_Dark_Knight likes this. -

-That means the number of girls was one-third the number of boys.
-2/3rd is greater than 1/3
-There should be more boys than girls -

The number of girls in this problem is 3/3rd or 1 whole.

58*11 = 638 inches
Average height of normal female = 63.8 inches
63.8*5 = 319 inches
638+319 = 957 inches
Average height of normal male = 69.3 inches
957/69.3 = 13.8 normal-sized males
Average height of normal female = 63.8 inches
957/63.8 = 15 normal-sized women
11 midget males + 5 normal females would total 13.8 normal-sized males or 15 normal sized women.305, adamprez2003 and ToddPhin like this. -
