Are you smarter than a 12th grader?
 

Only 25 percent of American students passed their geography test :

Try this geography test of 5 questions.

The question about East African seemed more cultural than just plain geographical.
I got the question correct only by thinking about the culture so I don't think
that proves I know the geography of East Africa.

80%

Great Lake question?

:1orglaugh

I got that right, I missed the previous

The diagram above shows a profile of which continent?

73% is considered proficient? Sheesh, lets lower the bar a bit more :winkwink:

all your brains belongs to meeeeeeeeee

The Key to that one was Andes.

80% ... missed the profile of South America question (I didn't pay attention to the elevation)

.

Yeah, but everyone else only took the test once ya know.

:1orglaugh

Hi, I'm bosku69. I used Google to cheat on my Geography test.

100% but I gotta admit the last one (the lakes one) was luck, really didn't know it. Besides, I don't know if that question is something every student in US would know, it looks too micro-regional for me (and of course no idea, as I said)

Don't sweat it. The people who did notice the elevation probably thought Everest based
on those scores.

:1orglaugh

Honestly thats the only one I was 100% sure on. Partly because I can't even remember what the other questions were.

Last time I did any geography was the 7th grade, I think some of the answers have changed since then

The South America one was the one I was about to get right, then changed my mind. I got the others. For the great lakes, I just figured that air coming from the north in December would probably be cold.

I was a little surprised actually. I've totally focused on engineering and some economics, so I thought I might crash and burn on geography.

80%, lakes question messed me up.. being european helped I guess in knowing the other questions.. cuz you get educated in more than just USA ;)

Ummm yeah; the Russians bought Lake Erie and moved it to China after 7th grade.

Smartness is overrated :pimp

:1orglaugh Same here.

pure common sense....

i wouldn't be here if i was

:1orglaugh:thumbsup

80% here.

I missed the African women question. Great Lakes one was pretty easy, as was the elevation one.

80% seems to be well above the curve so I guess I'll take it. :D

100%. guessed the lakes one from air/sea temperatures in December here.

lol, I got 100% on all 3 tests, but the 4th grade last question, almost got me... I had to actually stop and think on that one. Fun tests... history and geography was my thang, hard not to be when your dad is a history major.

I got 0%...

I couldn't afford to go to school... :(

My dad was a pornographer - So I found it hard NOT to be hard...

bahahahhaha!
