:O what an impossible question!

[Cyl]

I can just remember my ECDL test. A question was

Then you had four choices:
 -typical .exe
 -paper basket
 -typical folder
 -WinAMP

A) Sadam Hussien
B) George Washington
C) George Bush

[Kixie]

How would you sum up this standardized test?
A) Wonderful, I enjoyed it thoroughly
B) Mediocre, the test was so-so
C) The test was professional, but very boring
D) Very unprofessional, the materials were very low quality

Why the hell do I care?

I scribbled

\"E) I don\'t give a damn. I\'m working at McDonalds and making minimum wage, arse.\"

I\'m really glad they don\'t look at those answers at the back. :]

Edited for language.

For the moon question, did you answer \"cold and dead\"?

As a math grad student, I saw many problems given to undergrads that had no solution.  This was because the prof didn\'t bother to check it before he wrote it down.  Frankly, this makes me more angry the lower the level of the class it.  I think fewer people go into science because thier science (and especially math) profs just don\'t give a *expletive* about teaching.

Check the correct spelling of each word (one answer only):

1.)
  a.) Coler
  b.) Colour
  c.) Color
  d.) Coloor

Color and Colour are both correct in the dictionary. Colour is an older spelling used in mostly in europe now.

Color is only used in American English.  Most non-native English speakers are taught British English, so they\'d spell it \"colour.\"  As well as stupid goth kids who think spelling everything with an \"ou\" instead of an \"o\" makes you sound intellectual, even if they spell things incorrectly by doing so. :rolleyes: /rant

Anywho, that test must\'ve been pretty stupid. o.0

I can\'t think of any dumb ones off the top of my head.  I haven\'t had any standardized tests in a while.

i dont even remember taking the tests they usually lasted all of 3 minutes, over to the back of the page and start drawing whichever anime character i thought of first naked... and i still got good grades in most

[Sarrow]

19) Lucy buys a red only bag of marbles from a store. If the bag contains 5 marbles and Lucy takes 3 marbles what is the percentage probability of getting a red marble?

1) 92.6% out of 4/5
2) 60% of 3/5
3) 1 whole of 5/5
4)  12% 2/46 of  2.5/5

I still dont get why this was on our math Standardized testing... maybe for the idiots that dont read?
