Did you ever wonder how much of a nerd you are??? Here's the test to answer that question.  www.nerdtests.com/ft_nq.phpMy score was: 55% scored higher (more nerdy),
2% scored the same, and
43% scored lower (less nerdy).
What does this mean? Your nerdiness is:
Somewhat nerdy. I mean face it, you are nerdier than about half the test takers.  - Chris  |

I gave it a shot, with the following results: 84% scored higher (more nerdy),
1% scored the same, and
15% scored lower (less nerdy).
What does this mean? Your nerdiness is:
Not nerdy, but then again maybe not all that cool either.Now I really have to get back to work!  |

I'm actually kind of disappointed. I was sure I was much nerdier than this...I mean, look at my avatar!
60% scored higher (more nerdy),
1% scored the same, and
39% scored lower (less nerdy).
What does this mean? Your nerdiness is:
Not nerdy, but definitely not hip.
I'm going to go watch Buffy now.

Hmmm.
36 scored higher (more nerdy)
2% scored the same and
62% scored lower (less nerdy)
so that makes me
Low ranking nerd. Definitely a nerd but low on the totem pole of nerds.
I know some people who would disagree with this assessment! ;D

93% scored higher (more nerdy),
0% scored the same, and
7% scored lower (less nerdy).
What does this mean? Your nerdiness is:
Definitely not nerdy, you are probably cool. Guess I am just too artsy to be nerdy! Math and science are not my friends!

Glad to know I'm cool, at least in some capacity. But I wouldn't say that -- just, the way this quiz is constructed -- hopelessly clueless at science, at which I've always been tone deaf. If I ever got on "Jeopardy," those are the categories I'd avoid! ;D

I think, however, that my not-nerdiness (such as it is) benefitted from my not having had a US education. I mean, GPA? Nah, don't have one of them. And so on.

Krissie Would someone please explain the O and A levels of the British school system. I have never really understood what they mean. And Mouse, thanks for the karma. Nerds rule! |

Would someone please explain the O and A levels of the British school system. I have never really understood what they mean. And Mouse, thanks for the karma. Nerds rule! Oh, dear. What a can of worms you've opened here! First thing, the Scottish system isn't the same as that in England and Wales. (I'm not going to even attempt to go into details about the Scottish stuff. For one thing, you didn't ask. For another, I struggle to figure it out.) O and A levels... O levels don't actually exist any more, and haven't done for upwards of twenty years, when they were replace by somethings called GCSEs. However -- and this gives away my age -- I did O levels. (This also gives away the fact that I had a -- shock and horror -- mostly English education. (I say mostly, because I have a Masters degree from a Canadian university.) O levels (and GCSEs) are exams that English kids took (take) at 16. Students usually take these in a number of subjects, including English and Maths. (I ended up taking a total of eleven subjects, but that was considered to be pretty excessive.) Kids can legally leave school at 16. (Note that there isn't an equivalent to failing to graduate from high school. You can leave without any qualifications, but that's not the same thing. Everyone leaves. No graduation.) A levels, therefore, are not compulsory. True, there is a fair amount of pressure on kids to stay on for extra years at school, but they don't have to. Also, there are other courses that students could do instead of A levels. One big difference between the English and North American school systems is that the English system gets people to specialise much earlier on in their education. (This is one reason why English university degrees are usually three years long, not four. Certainly when I went through the system, much of what was included in first year undergraduate courses in Canada had been covered in my A level course.) Again, the system has changed since I did my A levels. I took three subjects and sat exams at the end of two years. (I was 18.) Now, students start doing AS courses (quite often four of these) and sit exams after a year, at 17. Then they will drop one, or maybe two, of these courses, and sit A levels in the remaining subjects at 18. (The reason I know more about A levels than GCSEs is because I used to work in a university, so had to know something about entry requirements. A levels are the most common qualification that students have to get into university, but other routes into higher education do exist.) So, basically: O levels: students take them at 16, A levels: students take them at 18. Each subject is examined separately, so you don't need to pass every subject to be able to leave school. Indeed, you don't have to pass any. That wouldn't be a good career move, but, hey... Each subject receives its own grade. For A levels, A to E are pass grades, with A being the highest. (I think there are now A* grades for the best students.) For the Harry Potter minded amongst you, OWLs are the wizarding equivalent of O levels, and NEWTs are based on A levels. Hopefully that all makes sense, and hopefully I haven't made any glaring errors in my descriptions! Krissie |
