This was a hard test? Good grief. It’s not really tricky at all. It just tests your ability to read. I say bring back the literacy test — and make them all like this one. Talk about the racism or prejudice of low expectations. This article, in attacking this literacy test, tells you everything you need to know about the left.

What’s funny, is that if you were given two hours to take this test instead of ten minutes, with an open book, even after reading this thread, it’s 50-50 as to whether you would get a perfect score. I’d bet on the losing 50 percentage. I would bet a lot.

There are questions here that you seem to believe are clearly understandable that are not.

This is not just about you. I have no idea how smart you might be other than your claim that this test is a no-brainer to ace in under ten minutes.

Earlier in the thread I wrote that I believed that half of America could not pass this test. After reading other’s posts here that pointed out troubling parts of the test, I would say that less than 5% of Americans could pass this test in the allotted time. Probably closer to 1%. I sincerely doubt I would have passed it after reviewing all of the questions and I am a particularly good test taker.
