Exams They Probably Give To HS Seniors Today

Hat tip:  A great patriotic American, my skin doc brother, Brad.

Tales has been told this is the critical exam that high school seniors must pass in order to graduate; Tales has also been told they only need 4 out of the 10 answers correct to pass-can you believe that?   No wonder our education system is in a mess.       

Of course, don’t believe everything that Tales tells you that they have been told.  :-)


Let’s see if can you pass this exam?      You only need 4 out of 10-and don’t peak at the answers.
