You don’t have to go back to school at all! This quiz was a piece of cake for you! You have a powerful brain, a knack for science, and a memory of steel. If you’re not already, you should be giving yourself a pat on the back.
I got 11 out of 23!
Unfortunately you didn’t do well enough to get a 75% score. Study up and try again! Otherwise you might need to go back to high school.
