How do do you think you'll do? Here are the answers: http://bullittcountyhistory.org/bchistory/schoolexam1912ans.html?as-source=src507ak 3 Link to comment

northie Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Being English and arithmetically challenged, not all well in some sections. Not too bad in others. Link to comment
Daddydavek Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 I'm old but not as old as that test and since I last attended the eighth grade in 1961, I looked at it but didn't attempt it. However, I bet an eighth grader back then couldn't type, use their thumbs to text, use a microwave, change a television channel, adjust the temp on the heating and AC system or a host of other tasks we take for granted....
