If you think your High School is tough then just try this exam. http://www.bullittcountyhistory.com/bchistory/schoolexam1912.html. This is just for the Eighth grade by the way. If you can pass it you would be allowed to go on to the ninth grade and high school. By the way no calculator or looking up the answers allowed. Assume you pass the reading and writing portion at 100%.
Even with my knowledge of old items I only got an 80% without looking at the answers. I know most people will not even get that far and they will be using calculators, reference books, on-line tools. If this is what it takes to get into High School I would hate to see the college entrance exams.
The answers can be found here http://www.bullittcountyhistory.com/bchistory/schoolexam1912ans.html. Good Luck.
