Take the California 5th Grade Science Exam

Apr 15, 2011 17:57

Eighteen sample questionsI got them all correct (phew!), but I wasn't 100% sure on all of them, and certainly an ability to reason out multiple choice answers helped ( Read more... )

The one I didn't actually know was the weather one. But I think I would have flailed hard in the 5th grade. To be fair, I spend the first 4.5 grades in a New Mexico Catholic school, which had rather different priorities. If the quiz had included quotes from the Nicene Creed I would have totally rocked it.

The weather one I didn't know in a scientific sense, but got it mostly via the process of elimination.

I missed two, #30 and #73. Some of the idiots on the BARGE list would have answered "Because god made it that way" to several of the questions.

No way would I have known all these in the 5th grade. Maybe not even by the 7th or 8th grade. Heck, I didn't know them all now.

Ted Stevens might have gotten #30, but it's probably the only one.

I pretty much knew most of them, though it's hard to grade myself fairly because the comments on the left gave away some of the answers. It might have been nice if it'd been presented as an actual quiz.

Despite knowing the basic gas input/output of photosynthesis I kept getting it backwards in my answers.

I'm too much of a city slicker (well, suburb-slicker) to get the leaning tree one. And I missed the weather one.
