Well, if they had thrown in a few ClearCase questions, or maybe a little kshell scripting, we would have whipped them all.
Man that quiz went on forever. I would have gotten a couple more right if I had applied a little patience, but hey they get whut they pay fer.
What fun! I only scored 98.33% ‘cause I got one wrong..... :^(
I am devastated.
I got two questions wrong. One was a question on incomes (and I would argue that one), the other was about the Federal Reserve. The history questions were ridiculously easy.
Got 85%
51 out of 60 correctly 85.00 %
You answered 40 out of 60 correctly 66.67 %
Average score for this quiz during September: 75.0%
Average score since September 18, 2007: 75.0%
You can take the quiz as often as you like, however, your score will only count once toward the monthly average.
Yes, that was my problem too. I think they were looking for a very pedantic definitiion of ‘public good’ from classic economics.
The other one I got wrong, I misread one of the possible answers.
FR is great, and we learn from here. Some of the questions I missed were second nature. I guessed when I should have given it some thought. Of course I’m the only one who would be knowing my grade! LOL (Thanks Petronski.....) :^)
Hmm...
must do better
My only consolation is that in reviewing my results I found that I misread one question (maybe I need glasses) and clicked the wrong answer on one (haste makes waste). The others I plead guilty on.
Hey, you kicked UC Berkely’s A$$!
Well, I must have lived in that "mythical past" because I got 58/60 about as fast as I could read and type. Dumbshit college teacher lives in the present and thinks everyone else always has too.
I might have gotten an 80% but I second guessed myself on a few answers and changed them.
I guess I gots to go back to FReeping Skewl!
;-)
I seriously doubt Congress as a whole would rate more than a D on this exam. A passing grade on this exam should be the minimum requirement to hold any elective office in this country.

Thank you.
I got 7/8 on the 8th grade test. Got the question about the Mayflower Compact wrong.
