took it back in '80. The thing that killed me was rational reasoning. I remember something like (and this will show how old it is...;)

You're at a party, and Sue says "I like the Beatles", Gina says "I like the Stones", and George says "Led Zepplin would be good". a record is placed on the turntable. Which record is it?

After that, it just got stranger for me..;)

Hopefully it's different now.

All I know is that my brother got 99th percentile on all parts of it and he is far from what I'd consider to be academically talented (a good person for sure, though).

we dont have that option here if you drop out of high school before finishing grade 12 (known as Year 12) then you get no qualification. The legal age to dropout is 15 but 90% of people stay on to finish high school.

it's very easy, just basic highschool knowledge. Also if you are having trouble they usually offer free classes for that test. I've known people who could not read at the start, pass the test.

A rock album. All three bands are rock bands.

If I could pass it then anybody can pass it. Wish it had been an option to completely skip school in the first place as it would have made life easier.
