Got 100.
I was worried when I started. Was this to be timed?

as for number 3
84/3=28 (3 teams)
28/4=7 (4 runners)

This test did not count for anything when I was in school. I don’t think they looked at them. I have to admit I did not really try on the test because they said it was not graded. I would just shade in whatever.

I got number three wrong, but I think the answer key is wrong. Anybody else think the correct answer for #3 should be B? If there are three teams, with 4 runners per team, that’s 12 racers per race. They would have to have 7 races for all 84 Racers to race once (7 times 12 = 84)

THIS TEST MADE ME SICK JUST LIKE SCHOOL DID. I HATED IT. I STILL SAY I WOULD RATHER WORK 40 OR MORE, HOURS A WEEK THAN I HAD GO BACK TO SCHOOL.!! I MISSED 1 TO.
SCHOOL JUST AINT FOR EVERY ONE, YEH I MISSPELL SOME WORDS AND I CANT DO ALGEBRA WORTH A FLIP BUT I HAVE NEVER BEEN OUT OF A JOB SINCE I WAS 15 YEARS OLD. WORK HARD ,WORK HARD AND WHEN YOU GET DONE ,GO WORK HARD. THATS HOW MY GRAND PAW AND MY DAD TAUGHT ME TO BE. WITH THAT GOD HAS BLESSED ME WITH BEING ABLE TO PROVIDE ALITTLE BETTER THAN AVERAGE FOR OUR NECK OF THE WOODS. WORK HARD, BE HONEST , GIVE GOD THE THANKS.

I made 100, but don’t know how I’d do on geometric shapes and such. I’m 59. It’s good to know I’m still at least as smart as a fifth grader!

I missed #5. I transposed the Numbers. Oops! As we age and learn more, Adults forget the simple things that we learn. More adults need to go back to the basic things that we learned.

Hope everyone enjoys the test!
