Well, since I used to teach 8th grade math, and now teach 8th grade science, I'm relieved to know that I can get them all right :)

thanks for the quiz!

Well I got eight out of the ten correct and am pretty excited by that since I suck at math. I had a hard time even remembering what some of the characters (like the carat "^") even meant!

The answer to the final question is 5.

I got all of them right, but I disagree with some of the questions:
1. To me "integer" and "whole number" mean the same thing, as "integer" is just Latin for "whole", and -7 is just as prime as +7.
5. "x+4 1/3=7" is ungrammatical. If you can't write the 1 above the 3, write "x+(4+1/3)=7". Do not write "4-1/4" when you mean "4+1/4".
5. Why are all questions but the first numbered 5?

Easy answer: NO.

I don't even have to take the test. I suck at math(s). I still count on my fingers for cripes' sake! :silly:

Yay!!!! The 8th Grade Science one had me discouraged at the first question, though....

Ummm.....no. I went and looked at the test, and it gave me a headache. I am absolutely terrible at math, and if I had to do it all again I would get a big fat F.

9/10! Messed up the integer/whole number/prime number question of all things :brickwall

I'm with arwyn80, math like that makes my head spin. I wish there was a way to make that stuff make sense to the "math challenged".

This would explain my 9/10.

WOW 7/10 I barely passed. But then again it's been awhile since I've been out of school. Hehehe that's my excuse! 8)
