I graduated from the Engineering College of Cornell University in 1983.

The math questions are not that difficult.

I haven’t got a clue about the language questions. But that’s why I’m an engineer.

I’d do well on the history questions (except the constitution of Sparta)

Math got a lot harder after Louis Farrakhan introduced Million-Man Math.

What they give for questions is only an excerpt. They do provide a link to the full exam https://archive.org/stream/questionpaper8908corn#page/n151/mode/2up

I doubt that there are 10 high school students in the whole of the U.S. who could pass it—I’d be surprised if you could dig up a 100 undergrads. Outside of graduate programs in classics and language oriented theology programs, most people would be skipping whole sections of the test: the language sections are very thorough and presuppose and ability to go from English into French, German, Greek, and Latin.

(BTW I prefer the math questions myself, would be at a complete loss at German, and am a member of the Arts and Science class of ‘91)
