i was slightly aghast to read that the average score on the test to date is 49%, and college professors only scored 55%. these results reinforce for me the idea that college graduates should have to pass some sort of an exit exam before having a degree conferred upon them.
furthermore, i would advocate for a national degree program for conferring degrees upon anyone who can pass a test in a given area or discipline. as the internet has democratized information, why shouldn't someone who avoids the high cost of universities but pursues the appropriate knowledge and learns a demonstrable amount of information have access to the same degree others receive after a traditional pursuit of the information?
i did not ace the test by any measure but i am happy to report that i outscored the average professor. when i received my results i was informed the november average on the test is substantially higher than the overall 49%. i am not sure but i guess some people may be returning to the test in order to get a higher score, probably for some sense of self-satisfaction.
if you have a chance to take the test, (it's 33 questions long, all multiple choice,) shoot me an email and let me know how you scored?
