About This Quiz

High school memories are generally about making new friends, dancing at prom or homecoming and, of course, studying for those difficult exams. Do you remember much about subjects like math, history, science and English? 
Some of these subjects might have seemed pointless back in the day, but they're essential to shaping all of us into well-rounded human beings. In other words, it's not about remembering specific formulas, historic dates or what a compound word is (although that might come in handy in the future). High school is about using that smart brain of yours to figure out problems in a creative and logical manner. And, speaking of difficult subjects, you probably remember advanced classes like chemistry, physics, calculus and biology, which required you to stretch your brain muscles and use those after-school hours for homework help!

But what does it mean to graduate from high school? Is it all about getting good grades, or is it really about becoming a competent person who will succeed in a future career? There's no right or wrong answer to this, but it's something to ponder nonetheless. So if you're curious about whether or not you'd pass high school today, take this educational quiz now!
