Are You Smarter Than an 8th Grader?

Are You Smarter Than an 8th Grader? September 16, 2008

I’m not a big proponent of standardized tests, but maybe because I understand how tests are often constructed, so my results don’t always reflect what I know but rather what I know about the test. Anyway, here are a couple of fun little 10 question tests to take in Math and Science to see how you stack up against 8th graders from around the world. At the end you get to see national scores to see how your 8th graders stacked up. Of course, what is actually stacked remains a subject for discussion. This came by way of a post by Lucy Gray.

Tried to embed the quiz directly in the post, but something keeps getting edited out when I save. Either visit Lucy’s blog (always a good idea) or try this link to take the quiz.
