Indeed, he's always been a failure at the test. If you can't score
better than 94% you don't pass. Oddly I've never failed.

careful reading, a little bit of logical thought and some
knowledge of history.

Perhaps you're saying that the language was confusing ?
Care to share the questions you had trouble with ?
