stormsewerSo, I gave my high school kids a test last week. I didn't think it was that hard, and I pretty much told them exactly what I was going to ask about, and thus I was a little disappointed in the performance of certain kids, but anyway...
The test was worth 50 points, with the possibility of up to five extra credit points. (The extra credit question was "Give the names of the grade levels in American high schools/colleges." I was looking for "Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, Senior." I gave one point for each one, plus an extra point if all four were written down and spelled correctly (which many American high school kids probably couldn't do). Two kids got all the extra credit.) I'll give scores in percentages.
There were seventeen kids total. Five juniors and twelve seniors; four boys and thirteen girls.

In addition to the 106%, there was one girl who didn't get any extra credit but still managed a 99%. I really wanted to give her a perfect score, but... The answer she was looking for was "Underwater Basket Weaving," not "Water Basket."
