Could you pass 8th grade science test?

73% WHAT. Thats a c? Damn.

Your Grade: A+
100% You Passed with an Excellent Score!

But I guessed the meteoroid and water evaporation with plants one

I think Ab is refering to velocity being speed and direction.

[GRiM ReeFer]

92% spent longer trying to think up something witty to post than on the test.
hmm

[BadNova]

Your Grade: B+
88% You Passed with an Above Average Score

[-Statik]

88. Didn't know the mammals breathing, the red rose light and the water energy cycle.

Nerdiness is a state of mind not quality.

Bingo. Velocity is a vector.

[Dirac]

Hrm, so you can pass 8th grade science by memorizing a bunch of arbitrarily chosen names for some natural processes without really understanding anything about them. Sounds exciting, why is science not a more popular subject at school??

Those that didn't know that and therefore understand what you were saying should consider themselves failed in our little science test.

Of course the question should have used the word "speed" instead but of course since one answers had the right speed and none gave direction I was sure of it being what they were trying to offer as the correct answer. Really it is just sloppy to ask a science question and use the wrong word, for all they know your science teacher may have just finished explaining to you earlier today (my science teacher did explain it, though quite a few years back now) how in science the word "velocity" has a different definition to "speed". IMO deduct a point for the quiz makers science knowledge.

^^^ And that, my friends, is why very few Science-y people write short stories.

[Chrono]

65% thankfully I'm a business student :)

[Spoon1]

100% here. All pretty straightforward stuff.

[Hooker]

woah....80%, I'm surprised.

[fixed_truth]

88% - but more importantly im 33% likely to eat my friends (literally)

Heh - many of my favorite short stories were written by scientists (or ex scientists - or people with scientific training). Of course it does seem to be less common these days.

Huzzah!

[Jodi]

bah, only 80%

How do you get 94% when each question is worth 4% ?

[Gambit]

73% not bad since im dead tired and got a couple easy ones wrong -.-

[badassmofo]

69% I've done worse, and it's been a few years now.


Also, woo woo 69!

[A Corpse]

84% but I hurried and fumbled one needlessly.

[herp]

53%. Who needs 8th Grade Science anyways.

Sorry 96%

And each question is worth 3.847%

I never memorised some of those scientific facts in school (especially in geology...) My science education revolves around doing experiments and understanding the principles behind experimental results.

[crocos]

98% - I stuffed up the velocity one (was doing snap-answers for everything)

[VERT]

Passed, just!! Though Science was never a strong subject for me at school

24 divided by 25 is not 0.98.

teach me not to read the last question. The chemical change one was a bit dodge as well.

I guess since they are formed in higher temperature or pressure regimes you could generalise they are found deeper in the Earth, but because of tectonics, sedimentary rocks could also (for a short amount of time) and igneous rocks come from there too...I guess you choose the best fitting answer.

I got 80%, damned meteoroids and biology

If they meant "formed", they should have said "formed", not "found". You can find marble, schist, chalk, and any other metamorphic rock just lying around in plain view.

[fidgit]

Hell's yeah 53%.

I'll be out smoking stolen cigarettes behind the gym with herp and ceaser, waiting to give you nerds the bash at lunch time.

: >

I might have passed if I didn't have a mean case of clicky-the-first-thing-I-recognise though.

[crocos]

I rushed through it and only stuffed up one question: The velocity one.

I guess I didn't read it properly <shrug>

Exactly; I was trying to convey that, but suck.

At least none of the kids appear to be socially awkward - clearly the term "science geek" is highly inaccurate.

Yeah Booooiiiii, we be the dudes sitting at the back of the class rocking on our chairs and spit balling the "I got a %100:P" nerds at the front who are bringing in apples for the teachers.
Ahh ya fucken girly swots...

/ten years ahead.

We be the bums sitting on the curb sharing a burban in a paper bag and asking passer's by for spare change

Haha.
