Some of the honors questions are pretty hard, I have to admit. DeTorre 23:04, 28 March 2009 (EDT)
- Your score is quite good: 33. Right now you're number 1 out of 11 papers, but I grade the weaker papers in my class first. I'll let you know here if and when better papers surpass your rank as I grade over 30 more papers Sunday.
- Congratulations on your good score!--Andy Schlafly 23:14, 28 March 2009 (EDT)
- Corrected score: 32 (I double-checked and mis-graded one of your answers). That's still quite good, and still in first place through 11 papers. I'll update status as more are graded today.--Andy Schlafly 08:09, 29 March 2009 (EDT)
- Oh no, I caught another mistake in my grading of your paper! Your score is actually a 31. No problem, you're still tied for 2nd place with 18 papers to go!--Andy Schlafly 16:07, 29 March 2009 (EDT)

Thanks ahead of time for scoring my answers. Rockthecasbah 19:27, 30 March 2009 (EDT)
- Your score is 32! A tad better than User:DeTorre above, and just below the "leader board" (top ten). Well done! You can improve for the exam in about six weeks.--Andy Schlafly 23:28, 30 March 2009 (EDT)

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?--Andy Schlafly 23:11, 29 March 2009 (EDT)
Suggested improvements on exam
- 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.--Andy Schlafly 09:34, 29 March 2009 (EDT)
