I did well on the test now, age mid 60’s. I am not sure
how I would have done in the 8th grade. Geography and history, I would have done fine. Word problems in math
gave me trouble until age 30.

1957 - We had regents exams in NYS in eighth grade. We had trig, algebra questions on the exam. History included the wars to date.

Hardly comparable to this "days of old" backwoods exam.
