I got 96%. The one I got 'wrong' was the question on the purpose of fruit; actually the question is screwed up there. The purpose of the fruit is not to protect the seeds, it's to attract animals to eat the fruit, providing nutrients to the seed after the fruit has been digested.

Some of the others were screwed up but I managed to work out what answer they wanted.

On the whole I really, really hated this test. This isn't really anything to do with science, it's just a list of random questions. There's no real education here and I can understand why kids think science is bring and stupid if this is how they're exposed to it.

Are you smarter than an 8th grader at science?

I think you may have a new spinoff show here!

Also, fwiw, I don't think I was taught a large percentage of those answers...and I was in advanced classes, how useless

[almostbusto]

what's with the answer to that "final velocity" question?


it seemed kind of like a trick question, final velocity should be zero right, since it comes to a stop after being dropped? i can't remember the wording but i remember thinking 100 m/s or 0 could be the answer depending on interpretation.

Also, "This type of rock is buried deep within the earth's crust" couldn't that question be legitimately answered igneous or metamorphic?

missed 7 9 and 26

[iversonian]

Too many "facts", too few "concepts". 84%.

Edit: upon further review, I retract that statement. I'm just bitter about the ones I missed.

[Klompy]

I missed the one about chemical change, but got the rest right.
