Pretty sure I wouldn't need to study for an 8th grade final at a local middle school to do considerably better than I would do on this 1985 final.

That's not the point. The fact of the matter is that is the material they were taught and studied.

This one is special though.

I'd stay stuck on this for a good half-hour.

I knew all of this stuff at one time or another. I just didn't retain it.

There was no need to once you learn its application.

 

[dmxgod]

I could hold my own in History and Geography..and maybe do aight in the rest and this is comin from a certified teacher..smh at what kids learn nowadays..

I would have failed this test so badly. No wonder my great grandmother didn't finish middle school.

Cool, now ask the 8th grader from 1895 do the things my 8th grade sister can do with a computer.
