I got 10/10, but some of that stuff I don't think I would have known in 8th grade.

 

[CrackRabbit]

yes, and I did a long time ago.

 

[Kalvin00]

I did 2 years ago.

 

[herkulease]

10/10 also. I had to take paper and pen out though. Its been quite sometime. I don't use p(aldjf)geron theorem often. Now its just add/subtract/multiply/divide.

years of calculus and high level worth useless for me now.

10/10 , cake

 

[clamum]

Yep, 10/10. I had Algebra in 8th grade.

 

[ActuaryTm]

I can only perform mathematical problems devoid of numbers.

 

[Ikonomi]

10/10, but to be honest I almost messed up the last one by forgetting to subtract. I suck at math.

My 8th grade math was much harder than this, though. I believe I had algebra.

10/10

how do kids manage to fail this crap???

 

[biostud]

I got 100% in 9th grade, then I forgot all about it

 

[Wallydraigle]

I almost failed Algebra II back in the day

Question 5 didn't show up for me in Opera. It just said find the value of x and then has the answers.

BTW did anyone else have to use calculator on some of those?

I did... Can't do that math in my head.

 

[jadinolf]

I won't even look at the test.
I'd be too embarrased.

10/10 now, pretty sure I would have gotten 10/10 then (got an A in Algebra in the 8th grade, '84-'85).

I could have done them on paper, but the calculator was faster

 

[Adul]

no problems here, though I had to resort to a scratch paper for number 10

It's a triangle with angles of 56, 70, and (x-5) degrees. Solve for x.

And yes, I admit I used the built-in Windows calculator as I believe the schools would allow it for the students, and I saw nothing saying that you couldn't.

Thanks Vic.

Oddly enough the picture did show up after I hit the 'see results' button. Got 10/10, that was pretty dang easy. I could have done it on scratch paper as well but opted for the lazy route and just pushing 'calculator' on my keyboard.

Holy sh!t, I suck at math.



7/10.

I completely guessed on 10, 7, 5, and 4. Didn't remember how to solve them.

I missed 4, 5, and 7.

 

[myusername]

10 out of 10 in my head, but I rounded liberally enough that my answers could be considered educated guesses. Yay for multiple choice tests

[MrCodeDude]

[FuZoR]

*edit* i used the windows calculator for the last problem i didnt realize it was simple math lol I hated math

It is sorta sad that people can fail that simple of an exam, even in 8th grade
