pretty cool I thought
 
A science literacy test that doesn't insult one's intelligence (from the Christian Science Monitor, no less). The first time, it hosed up when I was 78% of the way through, the next it cramped at 32%. I finally got though all 50 questions - and then it f'd up again when I tried to go to the results page. After the first two failures to negotiate the entire test, this time I kept count of my wrong answers. With some lucky guesses, I ended up with 48/50. I recommend it for those so inclined, and hope that they don't have to bludgeon their way though it.

Good Luck and have fun!

Works fine in Firefox. Not so much in Chrome.

An abysmal 36/50 for me. Apparently, cosmology and physics stick with me the most, and I suck at chemistry and biology. Makes a lot of sense. I didn't like chemistry or biology in school, but I loved physics.

Same score, had I taken the test twice it would have been a lot better. I'm still mad that I read the bernoulli question wrong.
