I also managed 37 out of 50, but felt I should have gotten a few more right. There was only three questions I got wrong where the right answer wasn’t my 2nd choice (except for the one where I clicked the wrong button and hit enter before I realized I had messed up).
One question I only got right because I watched the movie “Twilight”. Another answer was easy because of the movie “2001”.
And I got the history questions wrong, not knowing the name of scientists or what started genetics.
Most embarrassing was screwing up Bernoulli’s principle because I didn’t look at all the choices before answering.
I think I would have done better if the web page wasn’t so tedius, I got to where I was trying to rush through just to get done.
I’ll have to see if my daughter can do better, being as she just graduated high school. For being out 32 years and not working in a scientific field, I feel I did OK. I wish they told us what percentile we ended up in.
Probably top 10%.
My story was about the same as yours. Confusing a couple of alternatives. There were about five I had never heard of and had no idea. Plus any one knowledge of Greek stuff could use it to figure out about half a dozen answers. So that aided me when there were questionable alternatives.
