Doug ... quite nice of you to do this. Math for me is no problem but I was more focused on the other elements of the test. So tell me ... do you really think todays HS or even most college grads would excel in the 1912 questions related to (updated) history, geography, spelling etc? We both know the answer is no.
Regarding critical thinking skills... obviously important but if there's no data in there to start with, it doesn't work too well.
