MIT Entrance Exam

Think you’ve got what it takes to study with the big-geeks at MIT? Prove it. This entrance exam, circa 1869, was created to ensure that in addition to the requirement that entering students “be at least 16 years of age” and have a knowledge of the “rudiments of French,” that they could actually hold their own against the finest minds of their time.
Even after over 100 years, the test is still pretty imposing. I’m not ashamed to admit that I doubt I could pass it with enough vigor to gain entrance, but maybe you can! Let us know in the comments if you’ve got the right stuff. [via]
Holy crap! :O
I’m so stupid. I don’t know any of that
You know, it’s not too bad…I think I could do it given some remembering how to multiply and divide without a calculator, and figuring out what the heck any of those english questions were!
Math and Geometry I could manage,rest not as I do not have that extensive English class in School (second language here,live in germany) and the Algebra…I just suck at algebra.
This is the sort of stuff I’m learning in Additional Maths at the minute (I’m 15 btw). I could do the Algebra, Arithmetic and Geometry test no problem, but I’m not exactly the best at English…
Yea, the maths, no problem. But the English questions are a little daunting. I minored in English, but never thought to set to memory the birth date of any of the authors unless it was relevant to their works. I could piece it together, but I’ve taken Einsteins advice and I never commit to memory anything I can look up. In the digital age, that’s pretty much everything.
Pwnd’d by a test. Ouch
