sunfell and crabbyolbastard for making me want to take this... I had seen it before and resisted but, hell, I wanted to belong to the group.
Edit:
The only question I got wrong was (True/False) Did Christopher Columbus land his ships in/on North America in 1492. I, taught with the old "In Fourteen hundred and ninety two, Columbus sailed the ocean blue" sing-song telling of his discoverty of North America. More recent scholarship has Columbus only landing as close as the Bahamas - which doesn't count apparently. Besides, the Norse may have been the first discoverers... while the settlers of North America had crossed the land bridge in Alaska long long ago.
The arguable one, According to the CATHOLIC religion, who is referred to in/as The Immaculate Conception Jesus or Mary. The answer is Mary. (I recalled this from a while back... that Mary had to be born without sin to be the mother of Jesus to begin with, so she was born free of original sin.) CoB complained that this question biased the test for those who attended Catholic School. I agreed.

85-100% You must be an autodidact, because American high schools don't get scores that high! Good show, old chap!
Do you deserve your high school diploma?
