21/35 on Nobby's test. Man...I barely even knew what some of those damn terms were...

Motorway? We call it a highyway or freeway I think.
A Queue? You mean traffic?
And I've never even heard of some of those signs...
"Either path will lead to your destination" ???! What the **** is that?

The US version was too busy to process my request to take the test. I'll try later.

Though, when I took the test 4 years ago for my liscense, I missed 1 out of 20. Passing is 15 correct.

Elementary school through college.

So in Canada, you guys actually have a 20% range that gives you an "A" grade? But the others are all 10% in size? Doesn't that kinda... skew grades?

Just asking. Is this some sort of "make the students feel better about themselves" thing? Heck. When I was in high school, some of the advanced courses requires a 93% to get an A (my Senior year math did, which I know for a fact due to being in the preposterous position of getting an A in the class and an unsatisfactory effort grade due to an interesting loophole in the grading methodology).

Dumb down the grades much?

Sort of. It's very hard to get an A. Over here our gimped straight "D" students are the equivilent to your straight "A" honour students. It's a well known fact. Well at least it was regartding SAT's for students interested in applying for an American University.

What's astonishing to me is most people in California can tell you the last 10 winners of American Idol, but fail to remember to use a turn signal.

I don't think there have been 10 American Idols...

Thank you for taking the GMAC Insurance National Drivers Test. A score of 70% or better is considered passing on a state written drivers test. Based on your answers, you have the following score: 100.0

Quote:

Your scored 32 out of a possible 35 (attempted 35).

Damn...I've never been to England...at least I know I can pass the test.
