I missed four because I lump sand duners into one category and there were no questions about what Mili Sirus has been doin lately. I got a test finished score. Maybe the site was overwhelmed. I just got it via an email, maybe others did too.

Hard to believe the average score is only 5. People don't have a clue what
is going on in the world today, only know how to complain about it.

9/12, but they didn't grade the last three questions. Age, gender, and education.

I got better than 96% of the public. I missed the one about what the Gov spends the most on. I said it was interest on the national debt, when it was Social Security.
Peace,

Aced it. I'm so proud. Something about living in Tennessee I guess.

I had breakfast with a HS teacher today and what she told me about our state of education is discouraging. She stated the average student isn't being prepared for life in the real world. Math, spelling, and English composition? Forget it. Deadlines for submission? Pass/fail? One example she gave, most kids don't know the difference between "to, too, and two". What about the kids who excel? It's because their parents care and spend time and effort to make sure they are learning. If you're depending strictly on the educational system to educate your child, good luck. And remember, this system is producing "adults" for our future.

11/12 I put the % in or under the poverty line at 25 15 is the correct answer. I guess I am an optimist, not really.

That was kind of a trick question, it's very close to the same amount for each.
