'''Note on the final scores''':  the three top papers, scoring 38, 40 and 42, have a valid claim to add an additional point to their score due to the correct way that they interpreted question 20. Can you spot the flaw in question 20 that these top scorers identified?--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 23:11, 29 March 2009 (EDT)

This exam needs to be considerably harder. I haven't even looked at your 'World History Lectures' and I got 35/38. Most of the questions could be answered with a very basic knowledge and a smattering of common sense. I also don't understand why there are 'boy' and 'girl' questions tacked on the end.

Agreed with ArtMorn, I decided to look at the tests to see what the tests were like (e.g. if multiple choice fact checking or essays to write coherent arguments regarding history), and knew 36 of the 38.

*In the chivalry extra credit question for boys, the good sportsmanship should not be limited to "athletic" contests.  Non-athletic contests, including chess matches or exams, should also be subject to good sportsmanship under chivalry.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 09:34, 29 March 2009 (EDT)
