mtg has just taken this exam and got the eight questions that are actually math 100% correct. The two questions that are definitional (i.e. language questions) she didn't know. Surely there is some irony in that. Surely....

Whew. Passed 10/10. I was worried for a sec. Whole numbers aren't negative eh? PhD + luck = 8th Grade Superstar!

I got 10/10 too, although I will fess up to guessing on one of them (could only rule out one of the answers for sure). Still, I'm (perhaps pathetically) very proud of my score!

I don't know -- I've got a problem with the test. Question 7 assumes that .4=40%, but it never gives you a value that you're taking the percentage OF. Unless 100%=1, and you're told that, the proposed answers are meaningless.

Teacher! The test sucks!

Ruth is correct -- the question that equates .45 with 45% is improper, so anyone who answered "between 40% and 50%" to get their 10 for 10 should not be proud. The correct answer should have been none of the above.
