From Math To Science: 27 Questions To See If You Can Beat The Average U.S. Student
Think of this as the US student assessment meets “let’s see if my brain still works.” It’s your chance to find out if you’d rank above the average US student or if memes and useless information have fully replaced your academic IQ.
The NAEP, also known as the Nation’s Report Card, is a test that measures how students across America perform in math, reading, science, and other subjects. Schools use it. Experts analyze it…
And now, we’re turning that spotlight onto the legendary ‘Bored Panda’ district…Think you can survive these brain-busters? Time to prove it! 😈

Q13. The map says otherwise. Australia spans the two lines of longitude which encompass Japan. Depending upon whether the ship is going to Eastern or Western Australia it will go Southeast or Southwest. The correct answer should be South.
Yes, it seemed to me that the answer to that one would depend on where in Australia the ship was going. I picked southeast out of a hazy idea that most of the major ports are on the eastern side of Australia.

That was my logic. That and the Japan question is why I didn't bother finishing the quiz and now I understand why US students don't seem educated.
Load More Replies...Did everyone get the Japan-Australia question wrong?
I actually got it right but abandoned the test after that.
Load More Replies...Yeah, if that is the level of US education, the state of that nation is becoming much clearer
the second to last question literally just has "A, B, C, D" as possible annswers, no info at all.
The hints are above the question. You pick the right explanation of Andromeda.
Load More Replies...Regarding this type of quiz generally, "smart" is not the same thing as "knowledgeable."
I find smart is temporary. One can do smart things and know how to become knowledgeable. It doesn't mean they're smart with everything, nor all the time. Knowledge is learning, discovering and retaining information gathered by critical thinking, analysis and observation.
Load More Replies...17/27 13. Geography. A ship carrying cars directly from Japan to Australia travels in which direction? - Too tight to fit thru the west. Try getting thru asia. idiots. Also I took a flgiht from brisbane went direct up thru gympie to Japan. That is the route. idiots. Perth is so far down. Where are they dropping the cars? Dooes perth want cars? Nice. Rigged quiz. Clearly I should of got 27 bc clea rly theres more mistakes if there is a 1.
Asks how people would do against American students. Proceeds to ask questions that only Americans would know without Googling.
Google Overview says "From Tokyo, located in Japan, to Sydney, located on Australia's east coast, the general direction of travel is southwest." Since Sydney and Melbourne are the two biggest ports, and highest population metro centres, it would make sense that Japan export ship would be going to these cities. Howevever I dont get why the direction isnt South East or SSE but NOT SW. TOKYO 35.6764° N, 139.6500° E SYDNEY 33.8727° S, 151.2057° E "Longitude increases as you go east. From Grenwhich England. " So Sydney is MORE EASTERLY than Tokyo. DIRECTION SHOULD BE SE OR SSE
Look at shipping route maps: Japan to Australia sails Southeast, not Southwest. 13 is wrong.
I got 25/27. I never actually knew the civil war was over a stupid argument over slavery.
The width of Africa should also be offered in kilometers, for non-Americans who want to try it ;) And for me, Japan-Australia can go west or east, depending on where you start from in Japan and where you arrive in Australia.^^
The Japan and Australia and the political responsability are wrong. I'll add myself two points, thank you very much, reaching 26/27 points (having messed some US thing I know nothing about).
